Introduction
About this Manuscript
An Avadana text praises the giving of alms-bowls to Buddhist mendicants. The story tells of Sarvānanda, the king of the great city of Dīpavatī, who once visited the renowned Vihāra of Prasannaśīla. During this visit, he brought the Buddha Dīpaṅkara to his city and presented him with an alms-bowl filled with rice. In response, the Buddha expounded on the merits and spiritual significance of giving alms (Mitra, 1882, p. 195).
