佛言:「飯凡人百,不如飯一善人;飯善人千,不如飯持五戒者一人;飯持五戒者萬人,不如飯一須陀洹;飯須陀洹百萬,不如飯一斯陀含;飯斯陀含千萬,不如飯一阿那含;飯阿那含一億,不如飯一阿羅漢;飯阿羅漢十億,不如飯辟支佛一人;飯辟支佛百億,不如飯一佛。學願求佛,欲濟眾生也。」

The Buddha said: 'Feeding one hundred ordinary people is not as good as feeding one good person; feeding one thousand good people is not as good as feeding one who upholds the five precepts; feeding ten thousand who uphold the five precepts is not as good as feeding one srotaāpanna; feeding one million srotaāpannas is not as good as feeding one sakṛdāgāmin; feeding ten million sakṛdāgāmins is not as good as feeding one anāgāmin; feeding one hundred million anāgāmins is not as good as feeding one arhat; feeding one billion arhats is not as good as feeding one pratyekabuddha; feeding ten billion pratyekabuddhas is not as good as feeding one Buddha. Learning and aspiring to seek the Buddha is for the purpose of rescuing sentient beings.'
