If one practices the Dharma gift, one is called a donor and also a field of merit. \[Seng\]zhao says: "Field of merit" means that people plant merit in me, and I am free of the tares and weeds of defiled conduct, so that people reap immeasurable fruit and retribution; thus it is a field of merit. \[Dao\]sheng says: Being a donor is easy, but receiving offerings is difficult. One must certainly have virtue that can produce merit, and only then is it this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.331](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.331) - [Next: 4.333](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.333) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.4.332) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.332](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.332) · Pramāṇa
