How are generosity, virtue, renunciation, wisdom, might, patience, honesty, firmness, loving-kindness, and equanimity?
How, Wise One, World Leader, are Your Ten perfections fulfilled?
Asked thus, One who has a sweet voice like a celestial bird, answered, soothing the heart, making the world and the gods rejoice:
"What was taught, what was remembered from the Buddhas of old, the Conquerors, who became legends of Their actions and teachings, He expounded for the good of the world and the gods, based on His knowledge of
his entire past life.
Remembering all the achievements that promote happiness and dispel the arrows of suffering, listen to Me.
With all due respect, live this way of life, which sheds pride, dispels gloom, liberates from samsāra, and puts an end to suffering."
~Buddhavamsa 1.76-81~
