Generosity: Transforming the Heart

As we embark into a new year, we will explore the importance of cultivating generosity (d?na) and gratitude (kataññuta) and turning our intentions toward the interrelationship of the two. The practice of generosity is at the foundation of Buddhist teachings. At its essence, dana is radical because it is the practice of giving freely without an expectation of receiving something in return and of realizing our interconnection to all that is. Dana is a trusting step, confidence that allows us to let go and open to life. Kara will discuss the nature of dana, how it can be practiced, and its connection to the path of liberation.
