(5) Two Types of Gratitude (Two Kindnesses)
Thus I have heard: One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.
At that time, the Bhagavaan said to the bhikshus: “There are two types of kindness (gratitude). What are these two?
They are the kindness of the Dharma and the kindness of material support.
Among these, the highest and most supreme is none other than the kindness of the Dharma.
“Therefore, bhikshus, you should cultivate the kindness of the Dharma.
Thus, bhikshus, you should train yourselves in this way.”
When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
