I don't know any Pali but would just like your learned views on this
quote of Lord Buddha re a sick bhikkhu. In the Pali Text Society, it
is translated 'He who attends on the sick attends on me'. (Vinaya
Pitaka i, 301ff) Thanissaro Bhikkhu's translation is "Whoever would
tend to me, should tend to the sick." Does anyone have a third
translation or does anyone have any comments re the different
connotations here or which of these two is more accurate?
