"Through obedience to preceptors and co-religionists, venerable sir, what does the soul produce?"
"Through obedience to preceptors and co-religionists, it produces practice of discipline. And the soul that practices discipline, having the nature of not showing disrespect, blocks bad rebirths as a hell-being, animal, human, or deity; by honoring, burning with devotion, and showing great respect, it binds good rebirths as a human or deity, and purifies the path to perfection and good rebirth. And it accomplishes all praised undertakings rooted in discipline. And it becomes a discipliner of many other souls."
