Vanaropa sutta: Planters

“Whose merit always grows
by day and by night?
What people—firm in principle, <j>accomplished in conduct—
are going to heaven?”

“Planters of parks or groves,
those who build a bridge,
a drinking place and well,
and those who give monastic quarters.

Their merit always grows
by day and by night.
Those people—firm in principle, <j>accomplished in conduct—
are going to heaven.”
