We pray you will explain it.' The jackal answered: 'The gift of food and drink saves a life for one day; the gift of precious jewels saves from poverty for a lifetime, yet it increases bondage. Explaining the Dharma to educate and transform is called the gift of Dharma; it is able to make sentient beings depart from the worldly path.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 80.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80.32) - [Next: 80.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80.34) - [Up: 80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.80.33) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [佛說未曾有因緣經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.adbhutadharmparyaya*zh-tanjing.1.37) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80.33) · Pramāṇa
