在佛法的修持中，

因为需要舍离身见的执取，

故舍财是必要的前提，

以此来拓宽生命的心量，

长养慈悲喜舍之心，

以便进而更好地舍断身见。

财为养命之源，

有情对于财利的执取

是惯性的行为，

若先于此处进行舍离，

便能修行六念法

而得证三果。

为了更好地舍离身见的执取

而取证三果，

这才是舍财的目的。

也就是说，

舍财是为了舍身见的执取。

若是修习舍财而不明白

舍离身见的内涵，

虽得有漏的人天福报，

但对个体生命的解脱

却是没有任何意义可言。

   Only when you regard sacrifice as the source of life,  you could be able to peep liberation.

In the practice of Buddhism, it is necessary to sacrifice the attachment of the incorrect views of having a self, because  sacrificing one's wealth is a prerequisite to broaden one's mind of life and cultivate one's heart of compassion, joy and almsgiving so as to better sacrifice one's incorrect views of having a self.

Wealth is the source of livelihood. It is an inherent habit of sentiment beings to grasp wealth with affection. If one could give up this inherent habits first, one could practice the Six Thoughts (Note 1）and achieve the Third Realisation.

The purpose of giving up wealth is to better sacrifice the incorrect view of having a self to achieve the Third Realisation.   That is to say, the purpose of sacrificing wealth is to facilitate giving up the incorrect view of having a self.

However, if one practises sacrificing money in order to better abandon the attachment of having a self but not understand the connotation of sacrificing the incorrect views of having a self,  there would not have any meaning for achieving the liberation of individual life though one might achieve contaminated reward from human and heaven.

Note 1: The six thoughts : Buddha 念佛, the Dharma 念法, the saṃgha 念僧, the precepts 念戒, almsgiving 念施, and heaven with its prospective joys 念天.
