The Perfection of Giving






The perfection of dana is to give, completely free of the notion that there is any separation between giver, recipient, and gift. This is a very deep practice, and prajna is its foundation. Perfect giving, dana paramita, can only happen on the ground of perfect understanding, prajna paramita.

---Thich Nhat Hanh---


Note:
Paramita - perfection or completeness
Dana - generosity, giving
Prajna - wisdom, understanding
