The Art of Giving | A Monk's Guide to Generosity (5 Tips) We all understand the power of giving and generosity, intellectually. However; how's your practice of it? Do you give as often as you would like? As a Buddhist monk, we learned that giving or generosity, is the foundation of our practice. This is one of the ten perfections that we try to cultivate.
