# 法苑珠林 21.20

法苑珠林 21.20

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [21.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.21.20)

譬如蚊子嘴　欲盡大海底  
世間無能測　眾僧功德者  
一切皆無能　籌量僧功德  
況汝獨一已　而欲測量彼

> Just like a mosquito's snout / attempting to reach the bottom of the great ocean, / in this world none is capable of measuring / the virtues of the saṃgha. / None among all is capable / of calculating the merits of the saṃgha; / how much less could you, alone as a single person, / wish to measure them?
