Overflowing Merit (2nd)
“चत्तारोमे, भिक्खवे, पुञ्ञाभिसन्दा कुसलाभिसन्दा सुखस्साहारा। कतमे चत्तारो? इध, भिक्खवे, अरियसावको बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागतो होति—इतिपि सो भगवा …पे… सत्था देवमनुस्सानं बुद्धो भगवाति। अयं पठमो पुञ्ञाभिसन्दो कुसलाभिसन्दो सुखस्साहारो। पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, अरियसावको धम्मे …पे… सङ्घे …पे…।
“Cattārome, bhikkhave, puññābhisandā kusalābhisandā sukhassāhārā. Katame cattāro? Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti—itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti. Ayaṁ paṭhamo puññābhisando kusalābhisando sukhassāhāro. Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako dhamme …pe… saṅghe …pe….
“Bhikkhus, there are these four kinds of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurture happiness. What four? It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha … the teaching … the Saṅgha …
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, अरियसावको विगतमलमच्छेरेन चेतसा अगारं अज्झावसति मुत्तचागो पयतपाणि वोस्सग्गरतो याचयोगो दानसंविभागरतो। अयं चतुत्थो पुञ्ञाभिसन्दो कुसलाभिसन्दो सुखस्साहारो। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, चत्तारो पुञ्ञाभिसन्दा कुसलाभिसन्दा सुखस्साहारा”ति।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako vigatamalamaccherena cetasā agāraṁ ajjhāvasati muttacāgo payatapāṇi vossaggarato yācayogo dānasaṁvibhāgarato. Ayaṁ catuttho puññābhisando kusalābhisando sukhassāhāro. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puññābhisandā kusalābhisandā sukhassāhārā”ti.
Furthermore, a noble disciple lives at home rid of the stain of stinginess, freely generous, open-handed, loving to let go, committed to charity, loving to give and to share. This is the fourth kind of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurtures happiness. These are the four kinds of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurture happiness.”
