Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

21: The Miscellaneous Chapter – 255
Renouncing a small good for the greater
The Bodhisatta’s son in a previous life met some
Paccekabuddhas, attained Awakening and later died; when his
father found out he honoured his grave; through the power of
that merit, when in this life he became the Buddha, he received
similar great honours; he taught the monastics with this verse.
290. Mattāsukhapariccāgā, passe ce vipulaṁ sukhaṁ,
caje mattāsukhaṁ dhīro, sampassaṁ vipulaṁ sukhaṁ.
If, by renouncing a small good,
he might see a good that is large,
the wise should renounce that small good,
seeing the good that is larger.
