THE VIRTUE OF GENEROSITY

"Giving brings happiness at every stage of its expression."
—Bhikkhu Bodhi, The Noble Eightfold Path: Way to the End of Suffering

Generosity, or dāna, is a foundation of the spiritual path. Bhikkhu Bodhi reminds us that the joy of giving is not found in recognition or material exchange but in the act itself. From the moment generosity is conceived to the moment it is shared, kindness uplifts both the giver and the receiver.

Acts of giving transcend wealth. Sharing time, offering a kind word, or simply extending patience to another—these are all forms of generosity that nourish human connection. The Buddha taught that giving without attachment purifies the mind, freeing us from self-centered concerns and deepening our compassion.

Consider the ways you can practice generosity today. Whether through small gestures or significant offerings, notice how each act of kindness reinforces the cycle of goodwill, nurturing both your heart and the hearts of others.
