Give someone a gift
Unlock your compassion through generosity
Buddhism & Zen
Find peace and happiness through mindfulness, meditation, kindness, and learning to let go of what you can't control.
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.
