As the Buddha was teaching, giving brings joy. “if you knew what i know about giving”, said the Buddha, “you would not let one single meal pass by without sharing it with others”. Giving is an expression of our energy in the world and an opportunity to support what is important, meaningful and dear to us. it has the power to take us out of painful sense of lack and separation, into the plenitude of the Buddhas and help us realize we belong to the vastness of life.
