What are the four? First is one's mother; second is one's father; third is the Tathāgata; and fourth is the Dharma master who preaches the Dharma. If anyone makes offerings to these four kinds of persons, they will obtain immeasurable merit; in the present they will be praised by people, and in future lives they will be able to attain bodhi.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 50.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.50.6) - [Next: 50.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.50.8) - [Up: 50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.50) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.50.7) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.7) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.50.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.50.7) · Pramāṇa
