The Discourse about the Great Emancipation

The Third Chapter for Recitation
assembled, reverend Sir, now is the time, Gracious One, for whatever
you are thinking.”
Then the Gracious One approached the Attendance Hall, and after
approaching he sat down on the prepared seat. While sitting the
Gracious One addressed the monks, (saying):
“Therefore, 104 monks, whatever Teachings have, with deep knowledge,
been taught by me, after grasping them well, you should practise,
develop, and make a lot of them, so that the Spiritual Life may last
long, and may endure for a long time, and that will be for the benefit
of many people, for the happiness of many people, out of compassion
for the world, for the welfare, benefit, and happiness of Divinities and
men.
And what are those Teachings that have, with deep knowledge, been
taught by me, which after grasping them well, you should practise,
develop, and make a lot of them, so that the Spiritual Life may last
long, and may endure for a long time, that will be for the benefit of
many people, for the happiness of many people, out of compassion for
the world, for the welfare, benefit, and happiness of Divinities and
men?
104 This is a funny way to begin a Teaching, it looks like it has been extracted
from a longer section somewhere, where Therefore... might be more in
place.
