sn.1.47 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Planters

“Whose merit always grows
by day and by night?
Firm in principle, accomplished in conduct,
who is going to heaven?”
“Planters of parks or groves,
those who build a bridge,
a drinking place and well,
and those who give a residence.
Their merit always grows
by day and by night.
Firm in principle, accomplished in conduct,
they are going to heaven.”
