Grounds for Making Merit · Puññakiriyavatthusutta

PāliPali

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Mendicants, there are these three grounds for making merit. What three? Giving, ethical conduct, and meditation are all grounds for making merit. These are the three grounds for making merit.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, puññakiriyavatthūni. Katamāni tīṇi? Dānamayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu, sīlamayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu, bhāvanāmayaṁ puññakiriyavatthu— imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi puññakiriyavatthūnī”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“One should practice only good deeds, whose happy outcome stretches ahead. Giving and moral conduct, developing a mind of love:

“Puññameva so sikkheyya, āyataggaṁ sukhudrayaṁ; Dānañca samacariyañca, mettacittañca bhāvaye.

having developed these three things yielding happiness, that astute one is reborn in a happy, pleasing world.”

Ete dhamme bhāvayitvā, tayo sukhasamuddaye; Abyābajjhaṁ sukhaṁ lokaṁ, paṇḍito upapajjatī”ti.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Paṭhamaṁ.
