สรุปเนื้อหา
In the Velama Sutta, the text highlights the profound impact of offering food to individuals with high spiritual attainment. It asserts that feeding a single non-returner yields greater merit than feeding a hundred oncereturners. This principle continues as it juxtaposes feeding arahants, Private Buddhas, and Tathagatas, showcasing the cascading importance of generosity towards enlightened beings. The ultimate merit is achieved when offering food to a community of monks led by the Buddha himself, underscoring the value of spiritual nourishment over mere physical sustenance. For true Buddhists, understanding this hierarchy of giving is vital for cultivating virtues in their spiritual journey and reinforcing community ties. Such teachings invite practitioners to act meaningfully in their expressions of generosity, fostering an environment conducive to spiritual growth and community welfare.
