Sometimes, especially around this time of year, 'giving’ can feel stressful and burdensome, a ‘should’ that we may even come to resent. Buddha taught that living beings are by nature generous, and that once we can clear away these confusing minds, giving can become a source of immense benefit and joy to ourselves and others. We will take the time to explore this teaching more deeply, and learn a beautiful Buddhist meditation on the practice of giving, one that is especially well suited to the holiday season.
