3.409

"How is the gate of giving practiced? If one sees any who come seeking and begging, one gives whatever wealth one has according to one's ability, in order to abandon stinginess and greed oneself and cause them to rejoice. If one sees distress, terror, or impending danger, one gives fearlessness according to one's capacity. If there are sentient beings who come seeking the Dharma, one expediently explains it for them according to what one can understand. One should not greedily seek fame, gain, or reverence, but solely be mindful of benefiting oneself and others, dedicating [all] toward bodhi."
