A Friend

Mittasutta

EN
“Mendicants, you should associate with a friend who has three factors. What three? They give what is hard to give, they do what is hard to do, and they endure what is hard to endure. You should associate with a friend who has these three factors.”
PL
“Tīhi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgato mitto sevitabbo. Katamehi tīhi? (…) Duddadaṁ dadāti, dukkaraṁ karoti, dukkhamaṁ khamati— imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi aṅgehi samannāgato mitto sevitabbo”ti.
PL
Tatiyaṁ.
