  • Is the sutta about “giving dhamma” to another? In other words, is it about teaching Dhamma to others?
  • My point was that the merits of giving depend on the giver’s mindset. I think the sutta also tried to convey that idea in the context of that sutta.
  • Of course, giving Dhamma is the best giving!
