《有知者經》
Jñānakasūtra

在三十三天，有位天人即將命終。他預見自己將會轉生為豬，於是呼求佛陀施以救護。佛陀敦促他皈依三寶，天人因此得以投生至毗舍離城中一個富裕的家庭，取名「有知者」。有知者身為童子時，再次遇見佛陀，並奉請佛陀及隨行僧眾享用午餐。佛對阿難授記言，以此供養之功德，童子有知者終將於未來成佛，佛號「最勝知王」。

The cultivation of generosity, or dāna—giving voluntarily with a view that something wholesome will come of it—is considered to be a fundamental Buddhist practice by all schools. The nature and quantity of the gift itself is often considered less important.
