The Virtue of Abounding
3. Sappurisadana Sutta
"Having given a gift in season, he - wherever the result
of that gift ripens - is rich, with much wealth, with many
possessions. And his goals are fulfilled in season.
"Having given a gift with an empathetic heart, he -
wherever the result of that gift ripens - is rich, with much
wealth, with many possessions. And his mind inclines
to the enjoyment of the five strings of lavish sensuality.
"Having given a gift without adversely affecting himself
or others, he - wherever the result of that gift ripens -
is rich, with much wealth, with many possessions. And
not from anywhere does destruction come to his property-
whether from fire, from water, from kings, from thieves,
or from hateful heirs.
"These five are a person of integrity's gifts."
