This is the first. Giving to the Buddha has supernatural power; giving to the poor has no initial auspicious event like this. Since the giver was not yet able to forget discrimination, Jingming therefore showed him equality. Shi says: Giving to the Buddha, because the ground is superior, the mind is intense; giving to the poor, because the ground is lowly, the compassion is deep. Therefore, the fields of merit have identical marks, and the resulting reward is one. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.675](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.675) - [Next: 1.677](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.677) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.1.676) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.351) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.676](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.676) · Pramāṇa
