113. Dullabha Sutta (Rare) Bhikkhus, the arising of three individuals is rare in the world. What three?

The arising of The Tathāgata, who is an Arahant and Perfectly Awakened, is truly rare in the entire existence.

A person who teaches The True Dhamma and Discipline declared by The Tathāgata, is really, quite rare in existence.

A grateful person, who also freely expresses one’s thankfulness and appreciation, is indeed, so rare in existence.

Bhikkhus, the arising of these three individuals is quite rare in the world.
