10.34

Furthermore, the Adbhutadharmaparyāya-sūtra says: 'The heavenly lord asked the jackal, saying: "What merits are there in the giving of food and the giving of Dharma? I only wish that you would speak of them." The jackal replied, saying: "Giving food and drink sustains life for a single day. Giving precious jewels and wealth relieves the lack of a single lifetime, yet increases fetters. Preaching the Dharma to teach and transform is called the gift of Dharma; it can cause sentient beings to transcend the worldly path."'
