The Discourse on the Pot
226.
He was dwelling at Sāvatthī, etc.
"Whoever, monks, in the earlier period of the day would give a gift of a hundred pots, whoever at the noon period of the day would give a gift of a hundred pots, whoever in the evening period of the day would give a gift of a hundred pots, or whoever in the earlier period of the day would develop a mind of friendliness even for as long as the milking of a cow, or whoever at the noon period of the day would develop a mind of friendliness even for as long as the milking of a cow, or whoever in the evening period of the day would develop a mind of friendliness even for as long as the milking of a cow, this has more great results than that.
Therefore, monks, you should train thus -
'The liberation of mind through friendliness will be developed by us, cultivated, mastered, made a basis of, practised, accumulated, and thoroughly undertaken.'
Thus indeed, monks, should you train."
