The Gift of the Teaching
The supreme generosity is the gift of the sacred teaching for saving sentient beings from the great ocean of suffering. Of course the highest generosity is the “gift of the teaching”, when teachers who are able to directly teach the path of liberation perfectly transmit the sacred Dharma to other beings voluntarily taking care to benefit them. Nevertheless, if one does not have this capacity, even bringing about with pure intention the favorable conditions for teachers to transmit the Dharma, or helping in various ways, directly or indirectly, so that unfortunate beings who lack the favorable conditions for receiving the Dharma may obtain the possibility of receiving it, are extraordinary “gifts of the teaching”.
