Sharing - Day 24
I can hardly believe I am at day 24 already! I am rereading a book by Sylvia Boorstein called Pay Attention, For Goodness Sake: practicing the perfections of the heart, the buddhist path of kindness. The first of 10 paramitas (ways of behaving) begins with GENEROSITY! Here is what the Buddha said: "Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given".
I am certainly experiencing the joy in giving on each of these levels. This has been and continues to be a very meaningful practice.
