During the Covid-19 pandemic we saw panic buying and stockpiling, but also beautiful acts of sharing and kindness. The Buddha frequently praised generosity, saying it was a beautiful ornament for our mind. Through the act of giving, we abandon selfish, miserly states of mind, allowing joy and happiness to arise instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Join Venerable Ak\u0101liko for reflections and a guided meditation on generosity and discover how giving deepens your spiritual practice, bringing benefits to others and yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n
