Five Rewards of Giving
“These are the five rewards of generosity:
- One is dear and appealing to people at large,
- one is admired by good people,
- one’s good name is spread about,
- one does not stray from the rightful duties of the householder, and
- with the break-up of the body at death, one reappears in a good destination, in the heavenly worlds.”
— AN 5.35
布施的五种效益
「比丘们！有这五种布施的效益，哪五种呢？
一、对众人来说，施者是可爱和富有吸引力；
二、他被善人们赞赏、仰慕；
三、他的好名声传播千里；
四、他有尽到在家人的责任；
五、身体崩解后，他会往生善趣、天界中。
比丘们！这是五种布施的效益。」
《增支部5集35经》
