I came across this explanation by Buddha, from the [Dana Mahapphala Sutta](https://www.themindingcentre.org/dharmafarer/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/2.3-Dana-Mahapphala-S-a7.49-piya.pdf) . > THE BEST WAY TO GIVE. Or, instead of thinking, ‘When this gift of mine is given, it calms my mind. Satisfaction and joy arise,’ he makes a gift, thinking, ‘**This is an adornment for the mind, a support for the mind**.’ I couldn't understand the statement. How does one do this? What should be the state of mind when gifting? When does one start to give gift? Does one have to wait till one's moral conduct is good and has insight?
