A karmadāna has fifteen virtues: first, on account of the Buddha; second, on account of the Dharma; third, on account of the bhikṣusaṅgha; fourth, on account of upādhyāyas and ācāryas; fifth, on account of having abandoned home myself to become a śramaṇa; sixth, acting as a host, enduring [guests from] the four quarters; seventh, having to attend to [those from] the four quarters; eighth, if someone in the saṅgha has a fault, one must not speak of it in front [of others] or penalize him arbitrarily; ninth, if one person in the saṅgha has a fault and the saṅgha wishes to penalize him, one should kneel down and plead for him, and not conceal it alone; tenth, one must possess virtue; eleventh, one must be able to attract dānapatis; twelfth, when bhikṣus arrive from the four quarters with torn robes, one should solicit [alms] for them to patch and mend them; thirteenth, all food and drink must be shared in common; fourteenth, looking after the sick and emaciated must be impartial; fifteenth, hearing that there is a sick bhikṣu outside, one should go to visit him.
