法苑珠林 34.13

34.13

第五念施者。謂專精念施所施之上。永無悔心。無反報想。快得善利。若人罵毀相加刀仗。當起慈心不興瞋恚。我所施者施意不絕。除諸亂想自致涅槃。不離施念便獲功德。是名念施。

Fifth, 'mindfulness of giving' means with concentrated essence to be mindful of giving: regarding what is given, having no regret forever, having no thought of recompense, and quickly gaining wholesome benefit. If someone curses and reviles or attacks with blades and staves, one should give rise to a mind of loving-kindness and not arouse anger. As for what I give, the intention of giving never ceases. Eliminating all chaotic thoughts, one of oneself attains nirvāṇa. Never departing from mindfulness of giving, one then obtains merit. This is termed 'mindfulness of giving.'
