50.7

As the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra says: 'There are four kinds of kindness that are extremely difficult to repay. 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.'
