Generosity is complete in itself; there is no need for any other reward than having made others happy. Giving out of sheer devotion, love, or compassion will bring you a feeling of great joy, and your gift will create yet more happiness. The motivation behind the act of giving makes all the difference.

HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Contemplation of the Week - Living Generously

In the days ahead, wherever you find yourself, try to remember to be open and responsive to whatever situation you’re in. Ask yourself, “what is needed here, how could I contribute?" Perhaps a material offering, a donation, or a meal is what is needed. Or, perhaps some kind and encouraging words would help. Or, perhaps this is a time when someone could be encouraged to explore their mind and heart through meditation or learning. Wherever you are, infuse the moment with a heart of generosity to provide what is most called for and helpful.
