Whoever—monk, nun, lay male follower, or female lay follower—keeps practicing the Dhamma in accordance with the Dhamma, whokeeps practicing masterfully, who live in accordance with the Dhamma: That is the person who worships, honors, respects, venerates, and pays homage to the Tathāgata with the highest homage. So you should train yourselves: ‘We will keep practicing the Dhamma in accordance with the Dhamma, we will keep practicing masterfully, we will live in accordance with the Dhamma.’ That is how you should train yourselves.
