Impact through Generosity
The AnnapolisShambhala Meditation Centre welcomes people from all walks of life interested in meditation, and everyone is invited to attend the variety of enriching programs, classes, community events and of course weekly practice.
Giving (dana) is one of the essential preliminary steps of Buddhist practice. When practiced in itself, it is a basis of merit or wholesome kamma. When coupled with morality, concentration and insight, it leads ultimately to liberation from samsara, the cycle of repeated existence.
Dana (“giving”) is the most fundamental of all Buddhist practices. It is the first topic in the Buddha’s graduated talks, the first step on the bodhisattva’s path to perfection, and the first of the ten paramitas (perfections) in the Mahayana tradition. It therefore sets the tone for all that follows in the spiritual journey. In a profoundly interdependent world, generosity is fundamental to the entire economy of life. “Andrew Olendzki”
