Summary

The Buddha taught that giving food to others brings five blessings. These blessings are the gift of life, beauty, strength, peace, and eloquence, all of which are diminished when one is without food. Those who offer food will be reborn with long life, beauty, great strength, tranquility, and wisdom, eventually achieving enlightenment equivalent to the Buddha, leading others to salvation.
