Then, released from being sacrificed, I fled the sacrificial enclosure. Giving rise to a sense of urgency, I performed a great offering. I did not drink, I did not eat, I did not enjoy any food for five or six days without offering to a worthy recipient. Suppose there was a merchant who had made a store of goods. They would take those goods to where they could make a large profit. So too, even giving what one has used oneself to others is very fruitful. That is why what is to be given to others multiplies a hundredfold. Knowing the reason for this, I gave gifts in life after life. Aiming for awakening, I never backtracked from giving.\u201d","title":"Prince Candana\u2019s Conduct","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":144}
