32(2)Giving(2)

Author: Bhikkhu Bodhi @ IAPT

32(2)Giving(2) It is likely that this sutta was originally a verse attached to the preceding one,which at some point was broken off and treated as separate.In its present form,it contains no set of eight factors to account for its inclusion in the Eights.

Faith,moral shame,and wholesome giving
are qualities pursued by the good person;
for this,they say,is the divine path
by which one goes to the world of the devas.
