About this event
Dana Paramita, the perfection of generosity or giving is an essential practice in Buddhism. The great Chan master, Huihai once said, "Deluded people fail to understand that the other five Paramitas all proceed from the Dana Paramita and that by it's practice all the others are fulfilled"
Our limited understanding of giving, often leads us to think it only concerns our material or monetary belongings....but in further understanding we can realize that giving has to do with all of our actions and non-actions. Also the cultivation of generosity has a strange by-product...gratitude. Spiritual practice is deeply rooted in paradox; in giving, we receive...by surrendering, we find strength and by dying, we fully live.
