How dāna (donation) becomes fulfilled with these 3 things

Gautam Buddha says that whenever we donate /or do dāna these 3 things are important

  1. We should have faith in our heart.
  2. We should have something to offer.
  3. The receiver should be worthy of the donation.


If 3 karma's align we receive the fruits of our dāna. We should not donate expecting something else in return. It is not a transaction but a sacrifice of the object that we have. 

Our dāna brings us the fruits depending upon who we donate to. Different fruits will come out of dāna to someone who has anger, someone who is Shrotapanna, Anagami, etc.

We should have faith in our heart, positivity and cheerfulness while doing dāna. In Buddhist scriptures it is written that if when we have cheerfulness during dāna, we tend to receive the fruits of it within that day itself. The fruits can be anything positive that can help us live a good life.
