The Maha Sangha

The Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples has entered on the good way;
the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples has entered on the straight way;
the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples has entered on the proper way,
that is to say; the Four Pairs of Men, the Eight Types of Persons;
the Sangha of the Blessed One's disciples is fit for gifts,
fit for hospitality, fit for offerings, and fit for reverential salutation,
as the incomparable field of merit for the world.
