Abundance And The Art Of Giving<\/strong>
\nGiving moves us because it frees us ads well as bestows abundance.<\/strong>
\nWhen we give, for a minute we’re released from thoughts on how we are, how we<\/strong>
\nwere, how we will be, how individuals view us, how we could be, how we should<\/strong>
\nbe, and so forth. It\u2019s the tape that continues playing in our mind. When we give<\/strong>
\nwith an exposed heart, we remember that we’re not alone<\/strong>
\nYou might want to say to me, \u201cWhat? Naturally I know I\u2019m not alone!\u201d True. But<\/strong>
\nlet\u2019s attempt an experiment. In order for this experimentation to work, you need<\/strong>
\nto be strained. You\u2019re not? Kudos, you\u2019re apparently an angel and can stop<\/strong>
\nstudying now. The experimentation is for the rest of us who hurl towards<\/strong>
\neveryday life. We try to finish work, buy groceries, attend work affairs, organize<\/strong>
\nschedules, plan celebrations, contact family and friends, clean the home, and do a<\/strong>
\nlot of other things \u2013 even though time seems to be in short supply.<\/strong>
\nOk, so you and I are strained, right? My question to you is:<\/strong>
\nWhen strained, what percentage of waking time do you spend thinking of your<\/strong>
\nown life?<\/strong>
\nInclude thoughts about your work, preparation thoughts, thoughts about the<\/strong>
\npast, ideas about pressing tasks, and thoughts about your relationship with other<\/strong>
\npeople. The higher the stress, the more we become rolled up in our own life<\/strong>
\nAnd when we\u2019re rolled up in our own life, we get oblivious to the fact that there<\/strong>
\nare others \u2018out there\u2019, and that they have troubles and needs too. That\u2019s where the<\/strong>
\nmiracle of giving comes out. When we give with an exposed heart, we abruptly<\/strong>
\nwake up from the old tapes and feel linked to others.<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s why the Buddhist tradition sets Dana, the path of unselfishness, as the first<\/strong>
\nof the ten Perfections. Dana implies freely giving of one\u2019s material goods, time or<\/strong>
\nwiseness to others. Dana is the first of the ten Perfections as unselfishness is a<\/strong>
\nfundamental ambition from which all spirituality flows. For instance,<\/strong>
\nunselfishness is the basis of kindness and compassion. When we give with a<\/strong>
\nvirtuous heart, we feel elated.<\/strong>
\nWhat is a virtuous heart? It\u2019s giving without any thought of restitution. Actually,<\/strong>
\nour motives for giving are often tinted with \u2018unclean\u2019 motives: perhaps we’re<\/strong>
\nshamed or browbeaten into giving; or we give to receive a privilege; or we give in<\/strong>
\norder to feel good about ourselves.<\/strong>
\nEach act of giving comes forth from that core of goodness, even though layers of<\/strong>
\nmixed need might cloud our natural ambition of generosity. If we touch that core<\/strong>
\nof goodness, we feel moved. This is natural giving. Give freely, and relish how<\/strong>
\nyour core of goodness is touched.<\/strong><\/p>\n
