Dear dhamma friends,

As we leave 2010 and proceed to 2011, in welcoming another chinese Lunar year, let us develope our sprituality; the cultivation of our spiritual health will strengthen our resolve and mindfulness and enable us to live our lives well.

On Giving

There are those who give little of much they have - and they give it for recognition and their hidden desire makes their gifts unwholesome.

And there are those who have little and give it all. These are the believers in life and the bonty of life, and their coffer is never empty.

There are those who give with joy, and the joy is their reward.

And there are those who give with pain, and that pain is their baptism.

And there are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue.

" it is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding."

- Khalil Gibran
