In this class we explore the practice of generosity, both in giving and receiving. We investigate how we can give and receive from our heart, with wisdom and discernment. We learn how to allow the three kinds of gifts–material resources, the gift of the Dharma, and the gift of non-fear–to flow abundantly through all aspects of our life.

Before the session Kaira Jewel wrote “After 15 years as a Buddhist nun, and most of my adult life without any personal income, I am finding it very fruitful to explore how I can relate with more freedom and less attachment to money, material possessions and my fears around financial security. During a silent retreat this fall, I decided to make the practice of generosity my focus for 2016, and to give away 10% of my income and time. I am looking forward to practicing and cultivating generosity with you!”

    A Practical Approach to Understanding Right Effort

    All schools of Buddhism acknowledge that if we are to “awaken” in this lifetime, our aim is to cultivate and develop the eight-fold path. This path consists of behavioral (sila), meditative (samadhi) and philosophical (panna) dimensions. When skillfully interwoven, this system of training directs us towards a liberation-based lifestyle by embracing the limitations and the…
