The Voice of Abstaining 7. Velama Sutta “If one were to develop even just one whiff of a heart of good will, that would be more fruitful than... if one with a confident mind were to undertake the training rules... “If one were to develop even for just a finger - snap the perception of inconstancy, that would be more fruitful than the gift, the great gift, that Velama the brahman gave, and [in addition to that] if one were to feed one person... 100 people consummate in view, and were to feed one once-returner... 100 once - returners, and were to feed one non-returner... 100 non - returners, and were to feed one arahat... 100 arahants, and were to feed one Private Buddha... 100 Private Buddhas, and were to feed a Tathagata - a worthy one, rightly self - awakened - and were to feed a community of monks headed by the Buddha, and were to have a dwelling built and dedicated to the community of the four directions, and with a confident mind were to go to the Buddha, Dhamma, & Sangha for refuge, and with a confident mind were to undertake the training rules - refraining from taking life, refraining from taking what is not given, refraining from illicit sex, refraining from lying, refraining from distilled & fermented drinks that cause heedlessness - and were to develop even just one whiff of a heart of good will.”
