法苑珠林 21.22

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [21.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.21.22)

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.
