are the four pairs of the Holy One’s disciples; they are worthy of religious donations, what’s given to them is very fruitful. This sublime gem is in the Saṅgha: by this truth, may you be well! Dedicated to Gotama’s dispensation,

is not shaken by the four winds, I say a true person is like this, who sees the noble truths in experience. This sublime gem is in the Saṅgha: by this truth, may you be well! Those who fathom the noble truths

taught by the one of deep wisdom, do not take an eighth life, even if they are hugely negligent. This sublime gem is in the Saṅgha: by this truth, may you be well!

This offering that has been given, well placed in the Saṅgha, is for their lasting welfare, and aids them right away. The relative’s duty has now been shown: how high honor to departed is performed,

Those ghosts who have gathered there, the departed relatives who have come for the lavish food and drink gratefully express appreciation: “May our relatives live long! For those to whom we owe this gain,

who have given honor to us, it will not be fruitless for the donor.” There is no farming there, no cow pasture can be found; likewise there’s no trading, and no commerce in gold coin.

The departed, the dead in that place live on what is given here. Just as water that rains on high flows down to the plains, so too what is given here aids the departed ghosts.

Just as the rivers full swell the ocean seas so too what is given here aids the departed ghosts.

What the world calls savings get stored away for such reasons. But no matter how well stored away they are in a deep pit by the water’s edge, all their savings will fail to aid them all the time.

For perhaps those savings shift from there, or they forget what marks the site, or dragons make off with them, or spirits carry them away, or unloved heirs secretly unearth them.

only this you take when you go. You don’t have to share it with others, no thief makes off with your savings. An attentive one would make merit, the savings that stay with you.

Those who are skilled in the meaning of scripture should practice like this so as to realize the state of peace. Let them be capable and upright, very upright, easy to speak to, gentle and humble; Avoiding harmful views, virtuous, accomplished in insight,

frail or firm, long or large, medium, small, tiny or round, seen or unseen, living far or near, those who have been born <j>and those about to be born— may all beings be happy!

attaining extinguishment: through this they have it all. Relying on having good friends, rational application of effort, mastery of knowledge and freedom: through this they have it all.
