The True Meaning of Generosity

Sangha Talk | April 2013

Fred discusses the paramita of generosity. To practice true generosity is to move beyond our comfort zone. Rather than giving items that we no longer need or time that is not otherwise committed, our practice should be to offer to others what is of high value to ourselves. We should experiment with generosity, saying yes to being of service in any way that benefits others, without attachment to our personal preferences. Fred also discusses the opposite of generosity - greed - and how this is a manifestation of the "self."
