Today, we delve into the fascinating story of Anāthapiṇḍika, chief patron of Buddha and the figure behind the creation of Jeta’s Grove Monastery. Known as the 'Great Benefactor', Anāthapiṇḍika's unrelenting support and generosity towards Buddha and his monks enabled them to spend twenty-five fruitful retreats in Sāvatthi. His significant contributions, however, extend beyond mere financial support.

His contributions led to the establishment of a treasured body of knowledge in early Buddhism.

Anāthapiṇḍika's story is also one of humility. Despite his prominent role, he often hesitated to seek personal advice out of fear of accusations of trading his donations for special attention.

In this episode, we'll unpack the rich legacy left behind by Anāthapiṇḍika, who was not just the benefactor to the Buddha and his monks, but a benefactor to the countless others who would follow the path of the Buddha. His story serves as a reminder that generosity extends beyond material wealth and is truly about the creation and sharing of wisdom. Join us on this philosophical journey as we explore the teachings, contributions and legacy of Anāthapiṇḍika.
