English version Shi Heng (Shi Heng) is pleased. Giving away houses results in magnificent residences, palaces of extreme solemnity and beauty, treasures overflowing, and all kinds of implements according to one's desires. If one gives wells and bathing ponds, as well as pure drinking water, one will never be thirsty in life after life, and one's wishes will often be fulfilled. Building bridges and boats to help people cross rivers, giving shoes to the barefoot, one will often obtain elephants, horses, carriages, and other means of transportation; such a person is a deva among humans. If one gives gardens and parks, one will often obtain excellent and wonderful rewards, everything can rely on the shade of trees, the heart is peaceful and without vexation, loved by all, and the family is complete. If someone gives medicine, they will be free from illness in future lives, long-lived and often happy, possessing beautiful appearance, strength, and wealth; for countless hundreds of thousands of lifetimes, they will not experience plagues and calamities, and will eventually meet the Dharma King of Medicine (referring to the Buddha), forever uprooting the root of birth and death. Building toilets to remove filth, one will not have the troubles of urination and defecation in future lives, the body and mind will often be pure, and those who see it will be delighted, thus being free from all defilements, and ultimately attaining great bliss. If one gives in order to be born in heaven, or to seek fame, to repay kindness or to hope for rewards, or out of fear, the resulting fruit is not pure, and what is felt is often rough and astringent. The tradition of giving established by ancestors, continued by descendants, the place of birth enjoys the blessings left by ancestors, possessing immeasurable surplus wealth. Often praising the merits of giving, but being unwilling to give away wealth, the place of birth is often poor and lacking, wanting to give but having no wealth. Often praising the merits of giving, being compassionate and often providing relief, the place of birth obtains great wealth. Disliking cultivating meritorious deeds, often liking to cultivate wisdom, but not practicing giving, the place of birth is often intelligent and wise, but poor and without property. Only liking to give, but not cultivating wisdom, the place of birth obtains great wealth, but is ignorant and without knowledge. Cultivating both giving and wisdom, the place of birth possesses both wealth and wisdom; those who do not cultivate either, will long be in poverty and darkness.

English version If one gives alms without true faith, although one may obtain abundant wealth in the future, what one receives will be coarse and unpleasant, and one's mind will always be attached to it. If one gives alms with deep faith, one will be born in a place with superior treasures, and what one receives will be adorned and beautiful, and one's mind will always love it. If one can recognize the fields of merit and give alms with reverence and joy, one's family will be harmonious, and they will all receive the reward of peace and happiness. If one's mind despises giving alms and one offers to the fields of merit with arrogance, although one may obtain abundant wealth in the future, one will not be able to enjoy it. Like ordinary people, there will be nothing special, and one will not be respected or admired by the masses. If one's mind does not despise giving alms and one cultivates merit and wisdom with reverence, one will be born in a place with extraordinary wealth, and one's relatives will all respect one. If one can give alms according to what is appropriate, and one's mind is always full of joy, one will be born in a place with wish-fulfilling wealth, and one will enjoy it in a way that is in accordance with the right path. If one obtains wealth by following the right principles and cultivates giving alms with wisdom, treasures will naturally come, and what one obtains will not be lost. If one gives alms in a timely manner, without delay or obstruction, and understands the principles and cultivates merit and wisdom, even if one gives little, one can obtain much, and one will always obtain timely items. If someone cultivates pure conduct and stays away from things that others covet, they will be born into a family with a virtuous wife, who will be beautiful in appearance and virtuous in character.

If one does not give rise to anger, and has no mind to strike, bind, annoy, or oppress others, And constantly cultivates loving-kindness and forbearance, then in future lives they will ascend to the Brahma heaven. If a person in this life, deeply believes and possesses right view (Samyag-dṛṣṭi), And speaks truthfully about the reality of existence and non-existence, and draws near to good spiritual friends (Kalyāṇa-mitra), Then in future lives they will become a 'heaven among heavens', and the light of their wisdom will surpass the sun and moon.

Creating pure or impure karma, will adorn various different retributions, If born in the human realm, one will experience a mixture of black and white retributions. Childhood, youth, middle age, old age, These stages each follow their original causes and conditions, alternately experiencing the rewards of suffering and happiness. Once karma is created, it increases, and then one experiences the retribution in sequence, Even if created, if it does not increase, one will obtain the retribution after a long time.
