SN11_15: Rāmaṇeyyaka Sutta

Rāmaṇeyyaka Sutta - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

The Buddha:

“Park shrines, forest shrines,

well-constructed lotus ponds

aren’t worth one-sixteenth

of a delightful human being.

In village or wilds,

valley, plateau:

that place is delightful

where arahants dwell.”1
