Ten Discourses On How Giving Helps to Become Egg-Born

At Sāvatthī.
एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो सो भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Buddha:
“को नु खो, भन्ते, हेतु, को पच्चयो, येन मिधेकच्चो कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा अण्डजानं सुपण्णानं सहब्यतं उपपज्जती”ति?
“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo, yena midhekacco kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā aṇḍajānaṁ supaṇṇānaṁ sahabyataṁ upapajjatī”ti?
“Sir, what is the cause, what is the reason why someone, when their body breaks up, after death, is reborn in the company of the egg-born phoenixes?”
“इध, भिक्खु, एकच्चो कायेन द्वयकारी होति, वाचाय द्वयकारी, मनसा द्वयकारी। तस्स सुतं होति: ‘अण्डजा सुपण्णा दीघायुका वण्णवन्तो सुखबहुलाऽति। तस्स एवं होति: ‘अहो वताहं कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा अण्डजानं सुपण्णानं सहब्यतं उपपज्जेय्यन्ऽति। सो अन्नं देति …पे… पानं देति … वत्थं देति … यानं देति … मालं देति … गन्धं देति … विलेपनं देति … सेय्यं देति … आवसथं देति … पदीपेय्यं देति। सो कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा अण्डजानं सुपण्णानं सहब्यतं उपपज्जति। अयं खो, भिक्खु, हेतु, अयं पच्चयो, येन मिधेकच्चो कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा अण्डजानं सुपण्णानं सहब्यतं उपपज्जती”ति।
“Idha, bhikkhu, ekacco kāyena dvayakārī hoti, vācāya dvayakārī, manasā dvayakārī. Tassa sutaṁ hoti: ‘aṇḍajā supaṇṇā dīghāyukā vaṇṇavanto sukhabahulā’ti. Tassa evaṁ hoti: ‘aho vatāhaṁ kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā aṇḍajānaṁ supaṇṇānaṁ sahabyataṁ upapajjeyyan’ti. So annaṁ deti …pe… pānaṁ deti … vatthaṁ deti … yānaṁ deti … mālaṁ deti … gandhaṁ deti … vilepanaṁ deti … seyyaṁ deti … āvasathaṁ deti … padīpeyyaṁ deti. So kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā aṇḍajānaṁ supaṇṇānaṁ sahabyataṁ upapajjati. Ayaṁ kho, bhikkhu, hetu, ayaṁ paccayo, yena midhekacco kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā aṇḍajānaṁ supaṇṇānaṁ sahabyataṁ upapajjatī”ti.
“Bhikkhu, it’s when someone does both kinds of deeds by body, speech, and mind. And they’ve heard: ‘The egg-born phoenixes are long-lived, beautiful, and very happy.’ They think: ‘If only, when my body breaks up, after death, I would be reborn in the company of the egg-born phoenixes!’ They give food …” “… drink …” “… clothing …” “… a vehicle …” “… a garland …” “… fragrance …” “… makeup …” “… a bed …” “… a house …” “… a lamp. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in the company of the egg-born phoenixes. This is the cause, this is the reason why someone, when their body breaks up, after death, is reborn in the company of the egg-born phoenixes.”
