On one occasion, the Buddha was residing at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi. At the time, a king named Mahanama approached the presence of the Buddha and asked whoever haave faith and build many kinds of offerings, what benefits will those ones receive? The Buddha gave a sermon relating the rewards derived from giving the various kinds of gifts to the king. The Buddha started with offering a Buddha statue will gain the rewards for nine kappa (eon) until ended the listening to the preaching of Vessantara Jataka finished within one day will gain much merit and will reborn in the time of Metteyya Buddha. The rewards that are currently achieved are to be respected and loved by others. After death, the person will reborn in Tavatimsa heaven. After the heaven, the person will reborn in rich families like royal family.
