สรุปเนื้อหา
In the Velāma Sutta, the householder is reminded that true merit comes not from the quantity or grandeur of gifts, but from the character and realization of those who receive them. The teaching emphasizes that even the act of feeding a spiritually advanced individual can surpass the deeds of notable historical figures if done with the right understanding and intention. The Sutta calls for a deeper perception of giving, valuing the spiritual quality and purity of both the action and its recipient over mere material generosity. For more insights, visit dmc.tv.

The Virtue of Approving
7. Velāma Sutta
"Now, householder, if the thought should occur to you,
'Perhaps it was someone else who at that time was
Velāma the brahman, who gave that gift, that great gift,'
that's not how it should be seen. I was Velāma the
brahman at that time. I gave that gift, that great gift.
But in that gift there was no one worthy of offerings;
no one purified that gift.
"If one were to feed one person consummate in view,
that would be more fruitful than the gift, the great gift,
that Velāma the brahman gave.
"If one were to feed one once - returner, that would be
more fruitful than the gift, the great gift, that Velāma
the brahman gave, and if [in addition to that] one were
to feed one person consummate in view, and to feed
100 people consummate in view.
