法苑珠林 81.33

81.33

"If, having made clothing, personal ornaments, and various vessels for oneself, and upon finishing them being joyful, one gives them to others before using them oneself, this person in the future will obtain a wish-fulfilling tree. If someone is able to make a daily resolution to always first give food to others before eating oneself, and if violating this resolution vows to forfeit property to the Buddha, feeling ashamed upon failing, but if not violating it, this is a wondrous cause and condition for wisdom. Giving of this kind is supreme among all gifts, and this person is also called a supreme donor."
