[16] Bhikkhus, these seven persons are worthy of gifts (āhuneyya), worthy of hospitality (pāhuneyya), worthy of offerings (dakkhiṇeyya), worthy of reverential salutation (añjalikaraṇīya), an incomparable field of merit for the world. Which seven? Here, bhikkhus, a certain person dwells contemplating impermanence in all conditioned things (saṅkhārā), percipient of impermanence, experiencing impermanence — constantly, continuously, without interruption — resolving upon it with the mind (citta), fathoming it with wisdom. He, with the destruction of the taints (āsava), … having realized it, dwells having attained it. This, bhikkhus, is the first person worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of reverential salutation, an incomparable field of merit for the world.
Again, bhikkhus, here a certain person dwells contemplating impermanence in all conditioned things, percipient of impermanence, experiencing impermanence — constantly, continuously, without interruption — resolving upon it with the mind, fathoming it with wisdom. For him the exhaustion of the taints and the exhaustion of life occur neither before nor after. This, bhikkhus, is the second person worthy of gifts … an incomparable field of merit for the world.
Again, bhikkhus, here a certain person dwells contemplating impermanence in all conditioned things, percipient of impermanence, experiencing impermanence — constantly, continuously, without interruption — resolving upon it with the mind, fathoming it with wisdom. He, with the utter destruction of the five lower fetters (orambhāgiyāni saṃyojanāni), becomes one who attains final Nibbāna in the interval (antarāparinibbāyī) … becomes one who attains final Nibbāna upon landing (upahaccaparinibbāyī), becomes one who attains final Nibbāna without exertion (asaṅkhāraparinibbāyī), becomes one who attains final Nibbāna with exertion (sasaṅkhāraparinibbāyī), becomes one bound upstream, going to the Akaniṭṭha realm (uddhaṃsoto akaniṭṭhagāmī). This, bhikkhus, is the seventh person worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of reverential salutation, an incomparable field of merit for the world. These, bhikkhus, are the seven persons worthy of gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of offerings, worthy of reverential salutation, an incomparable field of merit for the world.
