Tatiyapuññābhisandasutta

Overflowing Merit (3rd)

“Cattārome, bhikkhave, puññābhisandā kusalābhisandā sukhassāhārā.
“Mendicants, there are these four kinds of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurture happiness.

Katame cattāro?
What four?

Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti—
It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha …

itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti.

Ayaṁ paṭhamo puññābhisando kusalābhisando sukhassāhāro.

Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako dhamme …pe…
the teaching …

saṅghe …pe….
the Saṅgha …

Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako paññavā hoti udayatthagāminiyā paññāya samannāgato ariyāya nibbedhikāya sammā dukkhakkhayagāminiyā.
Furthermore, a noble disciple is wise. They have the wisdom of arising and passing away which is noble, penetrative, and leads to the complete ending of suffering.

Ayaṁ catuttho puññābhisando kusalābhisando sukhassāhāro.
This is the fourth kind of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurtures happiness.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puññābhisandā kusalābhisandā sukhassāhārā”ti.
These are the four kinds of overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurture happiness.”

Tatiyaṁ.
