Generosity


Generosity is foundational to the the remaining Five Paramitas; Morality, Patience, Energy, Mindfulness, and Wisdom. 

Generosity is foundational to the entire Practice.

In our Western culture, our materialist culture, we equate the word 'generosity' with the sharing of money or things, perhaps time.

But true Generosity has a much deeper meaning.

Patience, Mindfulness, Patience, and Wisdom are all born from Generosity. 

To Mindfully Listen to another is born form Generosity. 

Kindness, Compassion, all begin in Generosity.

To let go of opinion and to not choose sides have Generosity as a strong component in the willingness to allow personal desire to drift off.
