Malignant sores broke out on my body that could not be cured by treatment. A monk who was a relative and friend came and said to me: "You should bathe the saṃgha, take their bathwater, and wash the sores with it; you will then obtain recovery and will also gain merit." Rejoicing, I immediately went to the monastery. With heightened reverence and utmost sincerity, I made a new well, fragrant oils, and bathing implements, and bathed the saṃgha. Washing the sores with the water, I immediately received relief and healing. By virtue of these causes and conditions, wherever I was born, I was dignified, radiant with golden light, and untouched by dust and grime. For ninety-one kalpas, I constantly enjoyed pure merit, and its blessings and protection extended far and wide. Now I have again encountered the Buddha; the defilements of my mind have been extinguished, and I have attained the status of an arhat.'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.102](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.102) - [Next: 8.104](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.104) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.8.103) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.8.103) · Pramāṇa
