18.89

"Body, speech, and what instigates them": this clarifies the instruments of relinquishment; bodily and verbal action and that which instigates them are called the instruments of relinquishment. "That which instigates them" refers to the mind of non-greed and the one aggregation of mind and mental factors. A verse says: "If a person with a pure mind (a mind of non-greed) / Deprives themselves to practice giving, / The wholesome aggregates of this moment (these are the five aggregates: the instigator has four aggregates, and the instigated body and speech are the form aggregate) / Are collectively designated by the name 'giving.'" According to this verse, one knows that giving has the five aggregates as its essence. As for "merit of the category of giving," "category" means essence, intending to clarify that this merit has giving as its essence; just as with "a vessel of the leaf category," this vessel has leaves as its essence. The merits of the categories of discipline and cultivation should be explained accordingly.
