The Discourse on Food
37.
"Monks, a donor giving food gives five things to the recipients.
Which five?
He gives life, he gives beauty, he gives happiness, he gives strength, he gives discernment.
Having given life, he becomes a partaker of life, whether divine or human;
having given beauty, he becomes a partaker of beauty, whether divine or human;
having given happiness, he becomes a partaker of happiness, whether divine or human;
having given strength, he becomes a partaker of strength, whether divine or human;
having given discernment, he becomes a partaker of discernment, whether divine or human.
Monks, a donor giving food gives these five things to the recipients."
The intelligent one, a giver of happiness, attains happiness.
He becomes long-lived and glorious, wherever he is reborn." The seventh.
