“Mendicants, these four who are competent, educated, assured, and learned, who have memorized the teachings and practice in line with the teachings, beautify the Saṅgha. What four? A monk, a nun, a layman, and a laywoman.

These four who are competent, educated, assured, and learned, who have memorized the teachings and practice in line with the teachings, beautify the Saṅgha.

Whoever is competent and assured,
learned, a memorizer of the teachings,
who lives in line with the teachings—
such a person is said to beautify the Saṅgha.
A monk accomplished in ethics,
and a learned nun,
a faithful layman,
and a faithful laywoman, too:
these beautify the Saṅgha,
they are the beautifiers of the Saṅgha.”
