佛、世尊一時在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園，與苾芻眾俱。
Once, the Buddha, the World-Honored One, was staying in the Jeta Grove, in the garden of Anathapindika, near the city of Shravasti, together with a community of monks.
佛告諸苾芻言：「有五種大施，今為汝說。何等為五？所謂：一、不殺生，是為大施；二、不偷盜；三、不邪染；四、不妄語；五、不飲酒。是為大施。
The Buddha addressed the monks, saying: "I will now teach you about five kinds of great giving. What are these five? They are: first, refraining from taking life—this is a great giving; second, refraining from stealing; third, refraining from sexual misconduct; fourth, refraining from false speech; fifth, refraining from intoxicating drinks. These are the five kinds of great giving."
「以何義故，持不殺行而名大施？謂不殺故，能與無量有情施其無畏。以無畏故，無怨、無憎、無害。由彼無量有情得無畏已，無怨憎害已，乃於天上、人間得安隱樂。是故不殺名為大施。不偷盜、不邪染、不妄語、不飲酒，亦復如是。」
"Then why is the practice of refraining from killing called a Great Gift? Because through non-killing, one is able to give fearlessness to countless beings. Through this fearlessness, they are free from hostility, hatred, and harm. Since countless beings have received this fearlessness and are free from hostility, hatred, and harm, they experience peace and happiness both in heaven and among humans. Therefore, non-killing is called a Great Gift. The same holds true for refraining from stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, and intoxicating drinks."
