What one thing? Harmony in the Sa\u1e45gha. When the Sa\u1e45gha is in harmony, they don\u2019t argue, insult, block, or forsake each other. This inspires confidence in those without it, and increases confidence in those who have it.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cA Sa\u1e45gha in harmony is happy, as is support for those in harmony. Taking a stand on the teaching, favoring harmony, they ruin no sanctuary. After creating harmony in the Sa\u1e45gha, they rejoice in heaven for an eon.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Harmony in the Sa\u1e45gha","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":144}
