Is of much help

Bahūpakāra (AN 5.234)

Bhikkhus, the bhikkhu endowed with five things is of much help to the monastery. What five?

He is virtuous restrained in the higher code of rules, abides seeing fear in the slightest fault, thus he observes the rules. Learned, bears that Teaching good at the beginning, middle and end, full of meanings even in the letters completely declaring the pure holy life. He learns that Teaching, practises reciting it and experiencing it in the mind penetratingly sees it and rectifies his view. He repairs dilapidated parts. When a huge Community of bhikkhus approach he approaches the lay disciples and tells them: The time has come for you to do merit. He is a gainer for nothing, a quick and easy gainer of the four higher states of the mind, the pleasant abidings here and now. Bhikkhus, the monastery bhikkhu endowed with these five things is of much help to the monastery.
