The Purification of Offerings in Dakhināvíbhanga Sutta : หน้า 54/120

54 The Virtue of Absolving 6. Dakhināvíbhanga Sutta 13. "And how is the offering purified both by the giver and by the receiver? Here the giver is virtuous, of good character, and the receiver is virtuous, of good character. Thus the offering is purified both by the giver and by the receiver. These are the four kinds of purification of offering." 14. That is what the Blessed One said. When the Sublime One had said that, the Teacher said further: "When a virtuous person to an immoral person gives With trusting heart a gift righteously obtained, Placing faith that the fruit of action is great, The giver’s virtue purifies the offering. When an immoral person to a virtuous person gives With untrusting heart a gift unrighteously obtained, Nor places faith that the fruit of action is great, The receiver's virtue purifies the offering. When an immoral person to an immoral person gives With untrusting heart a gift unrighteously obtained, Nor places faith that the fruit of action is great, Neither’s virtue purifies the offering. When a virtuous person to a virtuous person gives With trusting heart a gift righteously obtained, Placing faith that the fruit of action is great, That gift, I say, will come to full fruition.
