- As dana means giving, every time some gives merit should be attained however merit is only apparent if giving is out of choice rather than the idea that we give because its what we have to do to gain something, like merit to avoid Karma.
- Another relationship link is that Dana effects the monastic sangha as the leity are providing offerings to help Buddhists and monks to carry on the deeds they are doing, this builds up merit as merit is the outcome of right giving.
Dana is significant: links to Karma and Re-birth, wholesome action, relationship building, Bodhisattva development, generousity, interdependence.
