- For free distribution only, as a gift of Dhamma
"Monks, for one whose release of awareness through good will is cultivated,
developed, pursued, given a means of transport, given a grounding, steadied, consolidated,
and well-undertaken, eleven benefits can be expected. Which eleven?
"One sleeps easily, wakes easily, dreams no evil dreams. One is dear to human
beings, dear to non-human beings. The devas protect one. Neither fire, poison, nor weapons
can touch one. One's mind gains concentration quickly. One's complexion is bright. One
dies unconfused and -- if penetrating no higher -- is headed for the Brahma worlds.
"These are the eleven benefits that can be expected for one whose release of
awareness through good will is cultivated, developed, pursued, given a means of transport,
given a grounding, steadied, consolidated, and well-undertaken."
