A giver of food is a giver of strength,
A giver of clothes, a giver of beauty,
A giver of a vehicle, a giver of ease,
A giver of a lamp, a giver of vision,
And he who gives a residence
Is a giver of everything.
But the one who teaches the Dhamma,
Is a giver of the Deathless
The Buddha
Kindada Sutta
Samyutta Nikaya 1.42
