Dana : The practice of Generosity or Giving
".... the visible results of joyous, good-hearted giving are seven-fold:
1— the Sangha feels good toward such people;
2—when thinking to visit they choose such people first;
3—when thinking to collect alms food such people come to the Sangha's
mind easily;
4—when it is time to teach Dhamma a seat is always held for such people;
5—in the village one hears only praise and good report of such people;
6—gatherings of nobles, Sangha and householders are approached confidently
by such people;
7—on the breaking up of their body such people will arise in a happy
realm.'
(Anguttara, VII,
54)
