21.22

眾僧功德海 無能測量者
佛尚生欣敬 自以百偈讚
況餘一切人 而當不稱歎
廣大良福田 種少獲大利
是故於眾僧 耆老及少年
等心而供養 不應生分別

The ocean of virtues of the saṃgha / is such that none is capable of measuring it. / Even the Buddha felt rejoicing and reverence, / personally praising it with a hundred verses; / how much more so all other people: / should they not praise it? / The vast, fertile puṇyakṣetra: / planting little yields great benefit. / Therefore, toward the saṃgha, / both the aged and the youthful, / with an equal mind make offerings; / you should not generate discrimination.
