TABLE:

Almsgiving and offering are popular practices of Buddhist goods. However, to achieve alms and offerings as France is not easy for both the practitioner and the benefactor.

The benefactor practices almsgiving and offerings, first of all, from joy, complete self-awareness and voluntariness. Generating the mind of generosity and offering must stand on the basis of the pure faith. Because, if lack of faith, the noble work that will deviate, only nurturing self-conceited because that we are the giver. Because of "giving is not by giving", so not necessarily a lot of money that practice is pure experiments. On the other hand, practicing almsgiving and making offerings must attain happiness and joy when bringing joy to people. These are the three basic factors that a benefactor needs to practice in order to attain almsgiving and seem to give dharma.

For them Sangha, the benefactors, must even make more efforts to improve themselves more than ever because "of gifts are of concern, of giving is of debt". If not cultivate, repair body and mind, eliminate negativity, then "the credit for nan pepper". The greater the number of those who receive the debt, the bigger the benefactor, and does not create merit to dedicate to the benefactor. Therefore, in parallel with the pure alms of the benefactor, the person who receives alms giving and offerings must attain the purification, that is, to the pure mind, the mind of the recipient who has been and is endlessly greedy. , anger and delusion.

Therefore, in order for almsgiving and offerings to the dharma, to gain great benefits, immeasurable merit, the benefactor and the benefactor must attain the "six-part animal" as the Buddha taught. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.24/10/2019.
