puṇya-kṣetra
puṇya-kṣetra (Skt.; Pāli, puñña-khetta). A ‘field of merit’, being an individual or group that is a particularly worthy recipient of a gift. After a
Buddha, the greatest field of merit is said to be the monastic order (
Saṃgha), and gifts or donations made to monks, for example by providing food or offering cloth for
robes (see
kaṭhina), are believed to produce greater merit (
puṇya) than gifts to other recipients.
