The Discourse on Things to Be Given
33.
"There are, monks, these eight grounds for giving.
What are the eight?
One gives a gift out of desire, one gives a gift out of hate, one gives a gift out of delusion, one gives a gift out of fear, one gives a gift thinking 'this was given before, done before by my father and grandfather, I should not let the ancient family lineage decline', one gives a gift thinking 'having given this gift, upon the body's collapse at death, I will be reborn in a fortunate realm, in a heavenly world', one gives a gift thinking 'when I give this gift, my mind becomes clear, pleasure and happiness arise', one gives a gift for the purpose of adorning and equipping the mind.
These, monks, are the eight grounds for giving."
The third.
