Kimdada Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna


 * "Giving what is giving strength? Giving what is giving beauty?
 * Giving what is giving pleasantness? Giving what is giving sight?
 * Who gives everything? May I know about this?"


 * "Giving food is giving strength.
 * Giving clothing is giving beauty.
 * Giving conveyances is giving pleasantness
 * And giving light is giving sight
 * He that gives a dwelling gives everything.
 * And advising according to the Teaching,
 * One gives the deathless state."
