In Buddhism, giving, or "dana," is one of the essential preliminary steps of the tradition. It's considered a way to purify and enrich the mind and to decrease selfish desires.

Giving gifts can become a regular spiritual practice. And the gift doesn't have to be something grand - it can be something small, like a cup of coffee.
