@Jittananto asked: “The orange part is the difference between them, right?”
Yes, the orange colour shows the “Borderline Noble” with asappurisa (including asappurisena asappurisatarañca) and sappurisa (including sappurisena sappurisatarañca) being “Moral Person” and “Noble Person” respectively.
See “Asappurisa Sutta 2 (SN 45.26)” and “Sappurisa Sikkhāpada Sutta (AN 4.201)”.
- In SN 45.26, the asappurisa is delineated with two additional wrong factors: micchā-ñāṇa (wrong knowledge) and micchā-vimutti (wrong liberation)—labeling him even worse.
- The Sappurisa Sikkhāpada Sutta (AN 4.201) clarifies that a false person breaks the precepts, while a true person keeps them and encourages others to do likewise.
In the above chart by ChatGPT on “Sappurisa in Various Suttas – Traits & Moral vs Noble Emphasis”, I was suprised that ChatGPT was able to name SN 55.5 and SN 55.55 as “Noble Person” for sappurisa as for other suttas it was named as “Moral Person” and SN 45.26 & SN AN 4.201 as “Borderline Noble”.
This the reason why most people (puthujjana) will take sappurisa as “true person” and assume any “moral person” with the traits or quality of the above “Sappurisa in Various Suttas – Traits & Moral vs Noble Emphasis” chart and will lead one to stages of Enlightenment without the need for the “moral person” to be a “Noble Person.”
