The Buddha (Buddha Vagga)
Verse 194
Pāli Source
Sukho Buddhānaṃ uppādo, sukhā saddhammadesanā; sukhā saṃghassa sāmaggī, samaggānaṃ tapo sukho.
English Translation
Happy is the arising of Buddhas; happy is the teaching of the true Dhamma; happy is harmony within the community; happy is the discipline of those who live in harmony.

Editorial Note
From the Buddha Vagga, alongside verse 183 already in this sample — where 183 summarizes the teaching itself, this verse names four things the tradition holds to be fortunate: a Buddha appearing, the teaching being given, and a harmonious community practicing it together.
