Chapter 27

The Benefits of Generosity

Then the Bhagavān said to the youth Candraprabha, “Young man, as it has been said, ‘Be careful,’ you, young man, should consequently train in that way. Why is that? Because, young man, for bodhisattva mahāsattvas who are careful, the highest, complete enlightenment is not difficult to attain, let alone this samādhi.

“Young man, in what way should bodhisattva mahāsattvas be careful? For that, young man, bodhisattva mahāsattvas should have perfectly pure conduct. Young man, in what way should bodhisattva mahāsattvas have perfectly pure conduct? For that, young man, bodhisattva mahāsattvas who have perfectly pure conduct, never separating from an all-knowing mind, should practice the six perfections. Listen, for I shall teach you their benefits.

“Young man, there are ten benefits for bodhisattva mahāsattvas who aspire to generosity. What are the ten benefits? They are: [1] the kleśa of avarice is overcome; [2] their minds are constantly devoted to generosity; [3] from the ordinary wealth of the populace they obtain what is essential; [4] they are reborn into a wealthy family, and as soon as they are born they have a mind that aspires to generosity;⁸⁸¹ [5] they are beloved by the fourfold assembly; [6] they enter the assembly without fear or lack of confidence; [7] verses that praise their greatness spread to the cardinal and intermediate directions; [8] they have soft and youthful arms and legs; [9] they stand on feet with level soles;⁸⁸² and [10] they are never apart from kalyāṇamitras ⁸⁸³ until they are seated at the Bodhimaṇḍa.
