In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
M Person who proposes himself/herself to help bhikkhus by performing various duties, notably that which the vinaya does not authorise to do (to open a fruit containing grains or a seed, re offer some food that was abandoned the day before, purchases, etc.)
Told about something that is convenient (or that has made convenient) and which a bhikkhu is entitled to accept (or to consume). Given that a bhikkhu cannot receive money, if someone wishes to offer some to him, he does remit it to a kappiya (or to someone who accepts to be his kappiya temporarily, during a trip for instance, in order to purchase some travel tickets and other things needed).
