Giving the example of a former King Mahavijita, who also made a great sacrificial offering, the Buddha declared the principle of consent by four parties from the provinces, namely, noblemen, ministers, rich brahmins and house holders; the eight qualities to be possessed by the king who would make the offerings; the four qualities of the brahmin royal adviser who would conduct the ceremonies and the three attitudes of mind towards the sacrifices. With all these conditions fulfilled, the feast offered by the king was a great success, with no loss of life of sacrificial animals, no hardship on the people, no one impressed into service, every one co-operating in the great feast willingly. The brahmin Kutadanta then asked the Buddha if there was any sacrifice which could be made with less trouble and exertion, yet producing more fruitful result. The Buddha told him of the traditional practice of offering the four requisites to bhikkhus of high morality. Less troublesome and more profitable again was donating a monastery to the Order of Bhikkhus. Better still were the following practices in ascending order of beneficial effects. (i) Going to the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Samgha for refuge; (ii) observance of the Five Precepts; (iii) going forth from the homelife and leading the holy life, becoming established in morality, accomplished in the four jhanas, and equipped with eight kinds of higher knowledge resulting in the realization of extinction of asavas, the sacrifice which entails less trouble and exertion but which excels all other sacrifices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bps.lk\/library-search-select.php?id=wh120\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView eBook versions for free on the BPS site.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are a total of 447 Wheels published by the Buddhist Publication Society (BPS), with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.pariyatti.org\/Wheel-Publications_c_386.html\"\u003e222 titles listed on our website\u003c\/a\u003e.
