For material giving there are three: first, practicing giving with fine, pure, and lawful goods; second, practicing giving having subdued the stain of stinginess; third, practicing giving having subdued the stain of hoarding. For the giving of fearlessness there are three: first, rescuing from the fear of lions, tigers, wolves, and the like; second, rescuing from the fear of kings and thieves; third, rescuing from the fear of water, fire, and the like. For the giving of Dharma there are three: first, preaching the Dharma without error; second, preaching the Dharma in accordance with the principle; third, encouraging the cultivation of the precepts. These nine characteristics can bring happiness in this and future lives to sentient beings: material giving and fearlessness bring it in this life; the giving of Dharma brings it in future lives. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3.97) - [Next: 3.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3.99) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862~en-mt.3.98) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3.98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.3.98) · Pramāṇa
