Dhammapada · 14.16

Sukho buddhānamuppādo, sukhā saddhammadesanā;Sukhā saṅghassa sāmaggī, samaggānaṃ tapo sukho.

Sukho buddhanamuppado, sukha saddhammadesana; Sukha sanghassa samaggi, samagganam tapo sukho.

Blessed is the arising of Buddhas, blessed the teaching of the true Dhamma, blessed the harmony of the Sangha, blessed the spiritual effort of those in harmony.
