Samyutta Nikaya: Mahavagga Sammappadhanasamyutta (V-49)

 

The ‘four right strivings’ are:

 

  1. Non-arising of unarisen evil unwholesome states
  2. Abandoning of arisen evil unwholesome states
  3. Arising of unarisen wholesome states
  4. Maintenance of arisen wholesome states

 

Some of the repetition series (the whole of the samyutta) include the three searches:

 

  1. Search for sensual pleasure
  2. Search for existence
  3. Search for a holy life
