What are the visible benefits of doing dana? In this sutta, the Buddha spells out four ways in which the results are clear for all to see in this very lifetime – you become dear and beloved, gain reputation, good people associate with you, and you can enter any assembly with confidence. You benefit too in your future lives as your generosity contributes to your positive kamma. Dana, however, is not just any kind of giving; for it matters how we give. So, just how should one give? This sutta discussion delves into the true meaning of dana.
