Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

4: The Book of the Fours

256. Sustaining

1"Bhikkhus, there are these four means of sustaining a favorable relationship. What four? Giving, endearing speech, beneficent conduct, and impartiality. These are the four means of sustaining a favorable relationship." [n.966] See above, AN4.32. It seems to me that these two suttas should have been contiguous.

1"Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, saṅgahavatthūni. Katamāni cattāri? Dānaṁ, peyyavajjaṁ, atthacariyā, samānattatā – imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri saṅgahavatthūnī"ti.


Tatiyaṁ.
