BENEFITS OF NYEN NE (24hour) VOW OBSERVANCE
"Take the 5 Great Rivers like the Ganges and so on, meeting in a
great, vast ocean. It is impossible to quantify that amount into
vases. But it is more possible to put all those water into 100, 1000,
10,000 and so on vases, than to quantify the merit resulting from
observing one day of the Nyen Ne vow. ||
Imagine this universe is filled with Arhats and you offer to each of
them the best jewels, excellent medicine, food, clothing and
bedding, everyday of one’s human life from birth to death. The
great merit from that generosity is smaller than 1/10,000 (one
ten-thousandth) of the merit obtained from observing just one day
of the Nyen Ne vow."
- Ne Jog Sutra, spoken by Buddha to the yogi Ne Jog
