Principle ten Joy, giving, winner, felicity.
A-Buddha said, ‘ If a giver sees or hears of another person who makes giving with fulfilling buddhi-vow way(施、道), or who helps some other persons to do giving(助), then giver is joyful to make giving and to help them to do giving, in the buddhi-vow way(得) the giver can produce a great many felicity(福) and nirva-effect forever(甚大).’.
Sraman asked, ‘ Does the felicity come to an end ? ’.
A-Buddha said, ‘ As an example of the fire of one torch, several hundreds persons or several thousands persons hold torches to touch the fire of one torch, the fires of their torches can be utilized to cook food and to extinguish dark; the torch numbers can be produced by Nature(如) and recurrence(故), the numbers of felicity are the same numbers as above and to be treated at Nature and in recurrence.’.
