"Zen in its essence is the art of seeing into the nature of one“s own being, and it points the way from bondage to freedom. By making us drink right from the fountain of life it liberates us from all the yokes under which we finite beings are usually suffering in this world." D.T. Suzuki

The Value of Generosity

In tough times it’s easy to contract in your thinking and your activities. The tradition we come from doesn’t advise this. Shakyamuni Buddha teaches:

“If people knew as I know the results of giving and sharing, they would not eat without having given…

Even if they were down to their last bit of food, they would not eat without having shared it, if those to receive it were present.”

Itivuttaka 26

Try it, in a manageable, sane, gradual way. Notice how your world completely transforms.
