顿腻苍补 actually means good wish or pure volition in honoring or offering one鈥檚 materials to others for the welfare of recipients. In other words, it means abstinence from destroying, killing, stealing and looting another鈥檚 life as well as property.^[1]

The characteristic (濒补办办丑补峁嚹�) of 诲腻苍补 is the forsaking of materials; its function (rasa) is delight in the destruction of greed for one鈥檚 property. It is manifested (辫补肠肠耻辫补峁�峁�丑腻苍补) as detachment from the materials given or having its fruits as one鈥檚 wealth or property. Its proximate cause (辫补诲补峁�峁�丑腻苍补) is the forsaking of materials or offertory gifts.^[2]

With respect to such good people, sharing should take the form of respectful offering after careful preparation.鈥�^[4]
