"Monks, this assembly is free from idle chatter, devoid of idle chatter,
and is established on pure heartwood: such is this community of monks,
such is this assembly. The sort of assembly that is worthy of gifts,
worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of respect, an
incomparable field of merit for the world: such is this community of
monks, such is this assembly. The sort of assembly to which a small
gift, when given, becomes great, and a great gift greater: such is this
community of monks, such is this assembly. The sort of assembly that it
is rare to see in the world: such is this community of monks, such is
this assembly — the sort of assembly that it would be worth traveling
for leagues, taking along provisions, in order to see.

"Mindfulness of in-&-out breathing, when developed & pursued, is
of great fruit, of great benefit. Mindfulness of in-&-out
breathing, when developed & pursued, brings the four frames of
reference to their culmination. The four frames of reference, when
developed & pursued, bring the seven factors for awakening to their
culmination. The seven factors for awakening, when developed &
pursued, bring clear knowing & release to their culmination. (trans. Thanissaro from MN 118 )
