The Benefits of Giving
“पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, दाने आनिसंसा। कतमे पञ्च? बहुनो जनस्स पियो होति मनापो; सन्तो सप्पुरिसा भजन्ति; कल्याणो कित्तिसद्दो अब्भुग्गच्छति; गिहिधम्मा अनपगतो होति; कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जति। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च दाने आनिसंसाति।
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, dāne ānisaṁsā. Katame pañca? Bahuno janassa piyo hoti manāpo; santo sappurisā bhajanti; kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggacchati; gihidhammā anapagato1 hoti; kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca dāne ānisaṁsāti.
“Bhikkhus, there are five benefits of giving. What five? A giver, a donor is dear and beloved by many people. Good people associate with them. They get a good reputation. They don’t neglect a layperson’s duties. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm. These are the five benefits of giving.
ददमानो पियो होति, सतं धम्मं अनुक्कमं; सन्तो नं सदा भजन्ति, सञ्ञता ब्रह्मचारयो।
Dadamāno piyo hoti, sataṁ dhammaṁ anukkamaṁ; Santo naṁ sadā bhajanti, saññatā brahmacārayo.
Giving, one is loved, and follows the way of the good. The good, disciplined spiritual practitioners associate with you.
ते तस्स धम्मं देसेन्ति, सब्बदुक्खापनूदनं; यं सो धम्मं इधञ्ञाय, परिनिब्बाति अनासवो”ति।
Te tassa dhammaṁ desenti, Sabbadukkhāpanūdanaṁ; Yaṁ so dhammaṁ idhaññāya, Parinibbāti anāsavo”ti.
They teach you the Dhamma that dispels all suffering. Having understood this teaching, the undefiled become fully extinguished.”
पञ्चमं।
Pañcamaṁ.
