[1] Thus have I heard:
Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove,
in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.
There the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
"Yes, lord," they replied, and the Exalted One said:
"Monks, there are these six states of ever minding.
What-six?
The ever minding of the Buddha;
the ever minding of Dhamma;
the ever minding of the Order;
the ever minding of virtue;
the ever minding of liberality;
the ever minding of the devas.
Monks, these are the six states of ever minding.'
