Dhamma, Practice and Sangha
We are already well into the holiday season and perhaps more than any other time of year, we think about the rites and rituals we associate with this time. We certainly have many practice opportunities as we examine our attachments and aversions.
The Buddha had something to say about both giving and receiving.

The Ten Paramis or Perfections are qualities that are said to lead to awakening if integrated into life and practice. They are closely entwined with the Brahmaviharas and the Noble Eightfold Path. While different sources list or translate the Pali words for these in different ways, virtually all sources list the first or greatest of the Perfections as generosity (dana). . . . .
