【檀那】《法界次第》云：「秦言布施。若內有信心，外有福田、有財物，三事和合，心生捨法，能破慳貪，是為檀那。布施有二種：一者財施，二者法施。財施者，所謂飲食衣服、田宅六畜、奴婢珍寶、一切己之所有資身之具，及妻子，乃至身命屬他，為他財物，故云捨身猶屬財施。有所須者，悉能施與，皆名財施也。法施者，若從諸佛及善知識，聞說世間出世間善法，若從經論中聞，若自以觀行故知，以清淨心，為人演說，皆名法施。」

> \[Dāna\] The \*Fajie cidi\* states: 'In the language of Qin, it means giving. If internally there is faithful mind, and externally there are fields of merit and material wealth, with these three things harmonized, the mind generates the dharma of renunciation and is able to destroy stinginess and greed; this is dāna. There are two kinds of giving: first, the giving of wealth; second, the giving of Dharma. The giving of wealth refers to drink and food, clothing, fields and houses, the six domestic animals, slaves and maidservants, rare jewels, and all utensils that sustain life belonging to oneself, as well as wife and children, and even life and limb belonging to others, being made others' property; hence it is said that giving one's body still belongs to the giving of wealth. Whatever is needed, being able to give it all is called the giving of wealth. The giving of Dharma means hearing the expounding of worldly and world-transcending wholesome dharmas from the Buddhas and good spiritual friends, or hearing them from sūtras and treatises, or knowing them oneself through meditative practice, and expounding them for others with a pure mind; all of this is called the giving of Dharma.'
