Listen deeply to the resonance within where virtue sows fields of goodness, wisdom and compassion, and Death teaches us to let go. At first, we tremble with fear. But out of that fear, we draw strength. Out of anger – a stillness and forgiveness. Out of greed, we draw generosity and gratitude. And from true vulnerability, we awaken to the Deathless.
Dana (generosity) and Sila (ethical conduct) are seen as the essential foundation for Bhavana (meditation).
This talk explores this relationship, with an emphasis on the practice of generosity as a practice of freedom.
