dn29:7.1 Take the case where a teacher is awakened, and the teaching is well explained and well propounded, emancipating, leading to peace, proclaimed by someone who is a fully awakened Buddha.
dn29:7.2 A disciple in that teaching practices in line with the teaching, practices following that procedure, lives in line with the teaching. They proceed having undertaken that teaching.
dn29:7.3 You should say this to them,
dn29:7.4 ‘You’re fortunate, reverend, you’re so very fortunate!
dn29:7.5 For your teacher is awakened, and their teaching is well explained and well propounded, emancipating, leading to peace, proclaimed by someone who is a fully awakened Buddha.
dn29:7.6 And you practice in line with that teaching, you practice following that procedure, you live in line with the teaching. You proceed having undertaken that teaching.’
dn29:7.7 In such a case the teacher, the teaching, and the disciple all deserve praise.
dn29:7.8 Suppose someone was to say to such a disciple,
dn29:7.9 ‘Clearly the venerable is practicing systematically and will succeed in that system.’
dn29:7.10 The one who praises, the one who they praise, and the one who, being praised, rouses up even more energy all brim with much merit.
dn29:7.11 Why is that?
dn29:7.12 It’s because that teaching and training is well explained and well propounded, emancipating, leading to peace, proclaimed by someone who is a fully awakened Buddha.
