Thus, O Subhūti, should a gift be given by a noble-minded Bodhisattva, that he should not believe even in the idea of cause.

According to the Diamond Sutra (Vagrakkhedikâ), the Buddha teaches his disciple Subhūti that the bodhisattva, one who walks towards awakening for the good of all, gives without clinging to anything: neither to the object given, nor to a return, nor even to the idea of being the one who gives; such a gift is of measureless richness. Today, make a gift (time, help, an object) and, as soon as it is done, let it go: do not tell anyone about it, expect neither thanks nor return.
