There is a great deal of repetition in the two suttas I am posting today
when compared to what what I have already analyzed in previous suttas.
Therefore, you will see some sections that have no analysis.
These two suttas are both translated by Ven. Yuttadhammo and analyzed by
me using the CSCD.
There are likely mistakes, so please point out any if you see them, and
I will fix them. Next week you will see the final sutta translated by
Ven. Yuttadhammo. From then on, all suttas will be translated and
analyzed by me alone.

"One who speaks righteously, one who speaks righteously," it is said,
venerable sir. In what respect is one a speaker of what is righteous?"
