There are these three individuals, O monks, who are born into the world for the advantage and for the felicity of many persons.

According to the Itivuttaka, three kinds of beings are born into the world out of kindness, for the happiness of all: the Buddha, the accomplished disciple who passes on his teaching, and the disciple still on the way who shares it in turn. Today, remember that your life too can be a blessing for many: pass on to someone a good thing you have received.
