175. Monks! Brahmans and householders are most helpful to you since they provide you with your robe and bowl, your lodging and seat, your medicines and the necessities for sickness. You also are most helpful to them, since you teach them the Dhamma that is lovely in the beginning, lovely in the middle and lovely at the end, in both the letter and the spirit. You proclaim to them the holy life in all its completeness and purity. Therefore, the holy life is lived for crossing the flood, for the overcoming of suffering, in mutual dependence.
It.111 (Iti 107)
