There was a man in Jambunada who was to be married the next day, and he thought,
"Would that the Buddha, the Blessed One, might be present at the wedding." [1]

And the Blessed One passed by his house and met him,
and when he read the silent wish in the heart of the bridegroom,
he consented to enter. [2]

When the Holy One appeared with the retinue of his many bhikkhus,
the host whose means were limited received them as best he could, saying:
"Eat, my Lord, and all thy congregation, according to your desire." [3]

While the holy men ate,
the meats and drinks remained undiminished,
and the host, thought to himself:
"How wondrous is this!
I should have had plenty for all my relatives and friends.
Would that I had invited them all." [4]

When this thought was in the host's mind,
all his relatives and friends entered the house;
and although the hall in the house was small
there was room in it for all of them.
They sat down at the table and ate,
and there was more than enough for all of them. [5]

The Blessed One was pleased to see so many guests full of good cheer
and he quickened them and gladdened them with words of truth,
proclaiming the bliss of righteousness: [6]

"The greatest happiness which a mortal man can imagine
is the bond of marriage that ties together two loving hearts.
But there is a greater happiness still: it is the embrace of truth.
Death will separate husband and wife,
but death will never affect him who has espoused the truth. [7]

"Therefore be married unto the truth
and live with the truth in holy wedlock.
The husband who loves his wife
and desires for a union that shall be everlasting
must be faithful to her so as to be like truth itself,
and she will rely upon him and revere him and minister unto him.
And the wife who loves her husband
and desires a union that shall be everlasting
must be faithful to him so as to be like truth itself;
and he will place his trust in her, he will provide for her.
Verily, I say unto you,
their children will become like unto their parents
and will bear witness to their happiness. [8]

"Let no man be single, let every one be wedded
in holy love to the truth.
And when Mara, the destroyer,
comes to separate the visible forms of your being,
you will continue to live in the truth,
and you will partake of the life everlasting,
for the truth is immortal." [9]

There was no one among the guests but was strengthened in his spiritual life,
and recognized the sweetness of a life of righteousness;
and they took refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. [10]
