Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraMānastambha (मानस्तम्भ) refers to “one’s own pride” [?], according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 46.—Accordingly, “Generosity destroys the fetter of avarice, favors the beneficiary, drives away malice and suppresses jealousy. The person who honors his beneficiary drives out his own pride (mānastambha) and, by giving with a settled mind, breaks the thread of his own doubt. Knowing the fruits of retribution of generosity, he drives away wrong views and destroys ignorance. Suppressing all the passions in this way, he opens the doorway to nirvāṇa”.
