In the School of Ministry, of 33, in the Buddhist scriptures such Notes, Chapter Three French, and in T antenna Chi Ministry, Chapter Eight French, the Buddha taught legal h 3 Photopanel to create basic tr blessed Israel the practice. It l à: Giving (Dana), Morality (sila), and charity (Bhavana): "This, monks, is now the third blessing this. It l à: Blessed by giving the business a success, now the world blessed by the city, and blessed by now the effects of meditation. "

Giving is one of three behaviors is the sage, who praised the improved level. It l à: Giving, Publication Date, and Taking care of parents. "Renunciation" (pabbajja) in this sense l à the least education, escapism busy to bother n virtual, life over no brain damage law, live tame, subdue v à harmony. In T antenna Chi Ministry, Chapter Three French, the Buddha taught: "Hey, monks, there are three methods are who reigns but Israel announced, but the legs are steps Israel announced. It l à: Giving, Publication Date, Most parents and lower. "

Giving is one of four methods to win people's hearts, we live h Aihua domestic e HIB, as well as in T antenna we v à society. T antenna Chi Ministry, Chapter 4 France, with buttons to record words of Daniel Buddha as follows:


- This, monks, this method has four photographers. What are the four?

Giving and loving,
and operating profit at the
O monk, photographer Here are four methods. generosity and loving, operating profit and colleagues, respect for the law, In another lifetime treat, Property n then and there, thus it corresponds. And four photographers This, as top axle, the absence of legal photography n ay, The mother and father not be the person I respect the v à reverence .. So location wise, Council nh college photography printing methods result they achieve, the tall, praise.

In the Theravada tradition, one of the texts that we often heard reciting l à economic Dai Hanh Phuc (Mah à-Mangala Sutta), the Business Group, State Department. In this Sutta, the Buddha preached that generosity l à one of 38 that brings the highest happiness for us laymen. Buddha c Thanks for that generosity is one of three elements to a person l know he believes in Dharma clean place, such as e ã recorded in T antenna Chi Ministry, Chapter Three French:


"Because of these three events, this the monks, who are known l à have faith. What three? (1) Popular people see morality, (2) preferred to hear the true Dhamma, (3) with center ly defilements of avarice, live in the house, giving generous with clean hands, preferred to abandon, ready to be y êu bridge, things like distributing alms. "

Some people like pure generosity , according to the Buddha, will get a t Ai great production, the fire never burned, flood l am gone lost, stolen, authorities have confiscated, or who th ù enemy get away. T Ai real merit generated by Giving is one of the 7 most precious asset - property called holy - that we can accumulate it. The Buddha in the Anguttara, ChuongBay France:


This, monks, is seven assets. What is seven? Credit financing, the financing, centered at, your talents, v t eat any, finance, intellectual property. (...) And this the monks, how then why? In this, n ay the monks, saints disciples to give up defilements center of avarice, of release live at home with b herds open arms, renounce favorite, ready to be y êu demand share your favorite animal charity. This, monks, here called l à experimental resources.

Giving also viewed l à a noble aroma, radiating the same throughout, in all directions, creating fresh voice, fame or village community for the where we are living. In Anguttara, Chapter Three French, Ng Ai Ananda asked the Buddha:

- " revered sir, what kind of a cedar scented air and wind, smell flying against the wind, smell and wind and flying against the wind?

The Buddha replied:
- " In this, n he Ananda, in any village or town which, with women's or men's refuge in the Buddha, refuge in France, our refuge T antenna, keeping 5 world, nature center Virtue, live in nh à infected with avarice mind, giving no regrets with open arms, renounce excited, ready to get y êu bridge, fancy sharing alms. Such a person, is the recluses, B à-la-technical, and non-Gods are praised. V game like that, people that l à precious incense trees. native trees that, n he Ananda, scented air and wind, flying against the wind smell, smell and wind and flying against the wind ".

But Giving is not an easy thing to make as many people often misunderstand. Here l à cultivate a practice e demanded our diligence, mindfulness and wisdom.
Firstly, the Buddha taught that when giving, we must know r aware of material to teeth, how to , and for the mind. In T antenna Chi Ministry, Chapter Eight French, Ng someone: "Hey, monks, there are eight levels of charity's legs. What is eight? For pure materials, to try things, for the right time; for animals, respectively for the careful, for always, as for the mind pure faith: as for the mind always happy. "


Thus, when giving, kind to animals must be clean, try things, animal adaptation, how to be the right time, for the careful, for always, v à mind is the pure heart credit when, after heart always happy to.
During T antenna Chi Ministries Program In French, the Buddha taught: "There is n am worthy of giving the foot steps of: l alms have you believe; alms glasses important, giving time, giving the mind is not strained; alms l do not hurt themselves and who am. " He also taught n l am types à: "There is n warm generosity worthy of the level of vacuum : l generosity has he reverently; thoughtful generosity, giving his hand; generosity map not thrown away; alms to think about the future. "

About alms for the right time, the Buddha n êu clearly have 5 categories:

- Giving people new to our abode.
- Alms for outgoing, leave our abode.
- Giving people sick.
- Giving during starvation.
- Ph flowers AM reap what new results are, d snapshot nipple Israel to the level offerings morality.

If so, Giving will bring the benefits: "Depending on the character of generosity, according to the manner of giving, the result will be given to the charity with t Ai prolific output, with sharp text wins such as lotus, with his wife and children, the employee devotion to comply with the widgets to the right time, the right time, with the merit of education is enjoying life fully, v à the accident did not happen to. "

In another passage, the Buddha th quieter about other benefits: "Hey, monks, is n warm n interests him alms. n What am?

- Considered by many admirers, preferred;
- To improve the level, close to the foot;
- Rumors good transmissions,
- No bias sermon;
- When the dissolution of the body corporate networks, was born l Israel good heavens willed. "

On the benefits of giving food: "The alms meal eaten, n ay the monks, will be entitled to five results: life expectancy, countenance beautiful, peaceful life, health, take t Ai ".

Add to that, the Notes, to have great results, the charity must meet three conditions th Photopanel achievements:
1. Achievements in the field blessing (khettasampatti) , refers to a subject, the church is l à rank Chief Justice, the ranks all the special kindness.

2. Achievement specimen (deyyadhammasampatti) , ie specimen fully legitimate, pure v à appropriate benefits for the recipient.
3. Achievement mind (cittasampatti) , ie volition is giving full credit with pure heart, with joy three times: before l am, is when l am and after work.

There are 2 kinds of giving: giving material resources (money, food to eat, things) v à charity law (dharma, the good thing, maybe not). In 2 of these, giving way l à noble and have many benefits, such as e ã taught in the Dhammapada (354): "Giving French noble than all the other legal alms" .
During Economic Buddha Speaks As Well (Business 98), He says: "There are two kinds of giving: Giving French possessions and give alms. During that French alms l à supreme generosity. Having two distribution: Distribution development and distribution of French possessions. During that distributed the French l à ultimate distribution. helps There are two types of support: help with t Ai animals and help with French assistance. Among them, helped by French l à help support paramount. "

In T antenna Chi Ministry, French Chapter One: "There are two kinds of giving: Giving French possessions and give alms. During it, giving the French l A to win. "

In Samyutta, Volume I, Chapter I, is recorded in a story e his brother, a natural death to ask the Blessed One:

So what is the capacity?
For what is the identity?
For what is the optimism?
For what is the eye?
for what for all?
Please respond to the questions?

Buddha replied:

For eating l à for power,
for even as the color,
for vehicles for communication,
for e is latent eye.
anybody to place abode,
He does for all.
Who taught the Dharma,
He for immortality.

It should be noted at this l à many people often complain that because living conditions l am eating difficulties, or v ì circumstances in e Dinh, so they do not have enough money to make generosity. Although pediatric Israel, which only l à possessions of alms. Buddha taught that if the n noisy signal kept pure heart, refuge and keep the c round 5 of the text, th ì that l à great generosity, v A is the source of faith for countless beings, v ì he brings peace, joy, love harmony to everyone, all the concern person who lives around. In T antenna Chi Ministry, Chapter Eight French, the Buddha taught:


"There are eight water sources faith n him, is good water, food to eat for peace, l am born of God, passed away peacefully maturity, leading to c Oh God, lead to the love, the joy, the mind, happiness, peace. It l à:

- Refuge in Buddha, Dharma, T antenna l à 3 water first;
- 5 water is designed to keep the c round 5 of the text. It also l à 5 great generosity, by v ì do so, do not be afraid to take to the h AI (fearless) for countless beings, not hate th brought to the buzzing for countless beings, give is not bad for innumerable beings, after the countless sentient beings, without fear of h love, not hatred, not hurt, he will not be afraid to share h boundless love, not hatred, not bad. "

Also please note that in some material further economic development of the later books, in addition to Giving Alms Finance and French, also mentions a third type l à Giving fearless, which is brought to, share h is not afraid of anyone, not hatred, not harmful. According to the opinion, can look Fearless Giving is the result of French Finance and pilot experiments, no need to split into a separate classification.

If only Giving practice alone is not well rounded enough. In Anguttara, Program In French, Ng Ai Shariputra Level She taught him that Doc offerings, giving four widgets, but created many blessings, but not enough. C layman trying to meditate On the, to be blissful equanimity born from the mind. Word buttons Israel this is Buddha agreed v à praise.
Due to that, the classic risk aquatic Israel also recorded the practice of mindfulness of Giving heart, or "Mindfulness For", as one of six customizable legal concept need to practice.

It l à six options mindfulness: Buddhist concept custom, custom French concept, T t antenna concept Commission, About custom concept, depending anniversary, God customizable concept. Such measures should be six practice. " And th Buddha explained the concept smoothly for him Mahanama For the following (T antenna Chi Ministry, Chapter Eleven French):
