Dharma Sutra that start with "Thus I have heard..." (FD19072020-2)

*from Author own experience and observation. it is better if one can print a paper based copy and keep it in one place (as the digital file can corrupted). It is also better if one can print and distribute the sutra as a free gift to others. This will benefit both the receiver and the giver. A devata: “Giving what does one give strength? Giving what does one give beauty? Giving what does one give ease? Giving what does one give sight? Who is the giver of all? Being asked, please explain to me.” The Blessed One: "Giving food, one gives strength; Giving clothes, one gives beauty; Giving a vehicle, one gives ease; Giving a lamp, one gives sight. “The one who gives a residence Is the giver of all. But the one who teaches the Dhamma Is the giver of the Deathless.” source: https://suttacentral.net/en/sn1.42#su 1.

This is a portion of teachings i quoted directly from Sigavolada Sutta : Buddha advice on Sigaloka (author note: wish i knew of this sutta at least 2 decades ago, will definitely save myself from a lot of pitfalls) Advise on enemies disguise as friend: 1. The taker - one who only take and ask a lot while give little , performing duty out of fear, offer service in order to gain something. 2.
