“Monks, there are these four kinds of streams of merit, streams of wholesomeness that generate happiness. What are the four kinds of streams of merit? It’s when a noble disciple has unshakable confidence in the Buddha… the Dhamma… the Saṅgha….
“Furthermore, a noble disciple lives at home, rid of the stain of stinginess, ready to give, open-handed, with desire to give, committed to charity, loves to give and share. This is the fourth kind of stream of merit, stream of wholesomeness that generates happiness. These are the four kinds of streams of merit, streams of wholesomeness that generate happiness.”
