How does upholding the precepts engender giving? Giving is of three kinds: first, giving of material wealth; second, giving of Dharma; third, giving of fearlessness. Upholding the precepts and restraining oneself, not encroaching upon the wealth and goods of any sentient beings, is called the giving of material wealth. Sentient beings who see him admire his conduct, and he also preaches the Dharma for them to open their understanding. He also contemplates to himself: 'I should uphold the precepts to serve as a field of merit for offerings by all beings, so that all sentient beings may obtain immeasurable merit.' Various \[acts\] such as these are called the giving of Dharma. All sentient beings fear death; upholding the precepts and not harming them is the giving of fearlessness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.2.22) - [Next: 2.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.2.24) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862~en-mt.2.23) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大智度論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.pancavimsatisahasrika!mahaprajnaparamitopadesa*zh-kumarajiva.14.19) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.2.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.2.23) · Pramāṇa
