“Go your ways, oh monks, for the benefit and happiness of many, out of compassion for the world, for the good, benefit, and happiness of gods and men.”
ภิกษุทั้งหลาย พวกเธอจงเที่ยวจาริกไป เพื่อประโยชน์แก่ชนเป็นอันมาก เพื่อความสุขแก่ชนเป็นอันมาก เพื่ออนุเคราะห์สัตว์โลก เพื่อประโยชน์ เพื่อเกื้อกูล เพื่อความสุข แก่เทวดาและมนุษย์ทั้งหลาย
Dutiyā Mārapāsa Sutta, Saṃyutta Nikāya, IV (I).5
