Doing good and practice giving is called “blessings’ field cultivation” in Buddhism, like sowing. To sow the seeds to the fertile fields, then we expect the blooming and fruiting. Master Xingyun told us:
什么是我们的福田?
请问孝顺父母,父母是我们的福田;尊敬师长,师长是我们的福田;救济孤苦,孤苦的人士也是我们的福田;恭敬三宝,行善布施,服务伤残老病,也是种福田。
What are the blessing fields for us?
Parents are our blessing field, we should practice filial piety; teachers are our blessing fields, we should respect teachers; solitary and helpless people are the blessing fields, we shall relieve their sufferings; so are honoring the Triple Jewel, practicing good deeds and giving, and serving the injured, disabled, old and sick.
《法句经》说明布施的四种功德:
“Dhammapada” states four kinds of merits and virtues by practice giving:
1. Give a lot but receive a little
Some people are ignorant and foolish, to sacrifice the gods by killing, drinking alcohol, singing and dancing, as well as property donation. It seems like it is the great merits, but actually there is no merit available.
2.Give a little but receive a lot
Some people express pure compassion by offering simple food to support the cultivators, although it is very meager but the merits can’t be measured.
3.Give a little and receive a little
Some people practice giving to secular priests in stingy, greedy and evil mind. Since the intention is not correct, they give a little and receive a little.
4. Give a lot and receive a lot
Wise people give money to build the temple, pagoda and viharas, and offer the Triple Jewel by clothing and bedding, shoes, bed and couch as well as meals, which will bring them the blessings and merits from generation to generation.
The beauty of giving is the sincere heart. For example, Ashoka did not forget to give even in his deathbed, asked people to take pens and paper to write "I universally offer the earth and seas to all Sangha today." And then stamped official seal and passed away with sincere heart of giving.
