English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove (Jetavana), Anathapindika's Monastery (anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma) in Śrāvastī (舍衛祇樹之園須達精舍), with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty wise individuals. The Buddha said to the bhikkhus (比丘): 'There are four noble practices that the wise constantly follow, the great persons cultivate, and the accomplished scholars always uphold, but which untalented and foolish people do not enjoy. What are the four? To be filial to parents, pleasing them with a joyful countenance and providing for their needs; to uphold benevolence and practice compassion, never killing throughout one's life; to give generously and aid the needy, never being stingy or resistant; and when encountering a wise era, to renounce glory and follow the path. These are the four noble practices that the wise follow, the great persons cultivate, and the accomplished scholars uphold, but which untalented and foolish people do not enjoy.' The Buddha then spoke in verse: 'The wise praise filial piety, Compassionately living with care for life, Giving generously and universally, Transcending the mundane and revering tranquility. Such righteous conduct, Is what the wise cultivate, Having attained the vision of the sages, They will surely reach the state of non-action.' The Buddha said to the bhikkhus: 'Furthermore, there are two practices that, whether in solitude or among the multitude, one should not be lax in pursuing: first, maintaining stillness and silence, which is the state of quietude for the wise and noble; second, being learned and erudite, discussing profound meanings. There are also two kinds of giving: providing food and delicious flavors to sustain life; and widely disseminating the scriptures, opening up subtle wisdom and bringing joy to the listeners. The giving of food sustains the body, while the giving of Dharma elevates the spirit; although the giving of food is pleasant, the giving of Dharma is the most important. Therefore, bhikkhus should recite and expound the wonderful Dharma, proclaiming wisdom and not being foolish; they should purify themselves and cleanse away worldly attachments. By practicing the path in this way, one can eternally transcend endless cycles, and this is what it means to be a renunciate, fully awakened.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the bhikkhus rejoiced, bowed to the Buddha, and received his teachings.
