- fdg sc © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, a noble disciple who possesses four things is said to be rich, with much wealth and property.[n.362] I follow Be and Se in not inserting mahāyaso here. If this is inserted, as in Ee, there is no difference between this sutta and the next one. |
2What four? "Here, bhikkhus, a noble disciple possesses confirmed confidence in the Buddha … in the Dhamma … in the Saṅgha. … He possesses the virtues dear to the noble ones, unbroken … leading to concentration. |
