The Benefits of Giving
Dānānisaṃsa (AN 5.35)
“Bhikkhus, there are these five benefits of giving. What five? (1) One is dear and agreeable to many people. (2) Good persons resort to one. (3) One acquires a good reputation. (4) One is not deficient in the layperson’s duties. (5) With the breakup of the body, after death, one is reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world. These are the five benefits in giving.”
By giving, one becomes dear,
one follows the duty of the good;
the good self-controlled monks
always resort to one.
They teach one the Dhamma
that dispels all suffering,
having understood which
the taintless one here attains nibbāna.
