Regarding presenting the intention behind giving: it is to adorn the taintless mind, to serve as an accompaniment to the taintless mind, to supply the cultivation of the practice of yoga, and for the sake of the supreme meaning of nirvāṇa that one cultivates giving. Ji says: 'To adorn the mind' means to attain the taintless mind; 'to serve as an accompaniment to the mind' means to nourish taintless mental application, and so forth. Giving with these four meanings is identical to the eighth, giving of ultimate truth, among the eight kinds of giving in the Vibhāṣā. However, when the Dazhidu lun states that the eight kinds of giving all have faults, this is in order to eliminate attachments that cling to apprehending [an object], and so it generally describes them as faults.
