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
