Generosity Practice
Generosity is very important in buddhism. In
Sanskrit there is a word, dana, which at its Indo-European root
is related to donation. Dana is generosity, or giving in.
Dana is also connected with devotion and the appreciation of
sacredness. Sacredness is not purely a religious concept alone,
but it is an expression of general openness - how to be open,
how to kiss somebody, how to express the emotion of giving. You
are giving yourself, not just a gift alone. So real generosity
comes from developing a general sense of kindness..."
