Never forget small favors, not to mention the large ones. Always be kind to those donors and teach them pure conduct in body, speech, and thought, which cannot be estimated or delimited. Kindness in physical action, kindness in verbal action, and kindness in mental action ensures that the gifts that donors give will never be fruitless. They will obtain great fruit, achieve great fortune, and possess great fame that’s heard throughout the world and that has the Dharma flavor of sweet dew. Thus, you monks should train yourselves.” - [Previous: 10.3.p6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-patton.10.3.p6) - [Next: 10.3.p8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-patton.10.3.p8) - [Up: 10.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-patton.10.3) ## Linked texts (1) - [增壹阿含經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.10.3.8) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-patton.10.3.p7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-patton.10.3.p7) · Pramāṇa
