Two People Hard to Find

Monks, these two people are hard to find in the world.

Which two? The one who is first to do a kindness, and the one who is grateful for a kindness done and feels obligated to repay it.

These two people are hard to find in the world.

This reflection in the Pāli Canon is from “Hard to Find,” Dullabha Sutta AN 2:118, translated into English by Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu.
