Today Maryann led our reflections on Generosity, the first of the ten perfections, and the initial teaching in many paths to establish a Buddhist practice. The first thirty minutes of an exchange with James Baraz, discussing a project which cultivated a generous outpouring can be found here:

As sangha members listened to and discussed that project, we began exploring the possibility of doing something ourselves which gave back to the community, and cultivated this quality in our own lives. If you haven’t already heard the talk, you might want to have a listen to the first 30 minutes, in order more fully to participate in our sangha’s discussions.
