“The essence of generosity is letting go. Pain is always a sign that we are holding on to something – usually ourselves. When we feel unhappy, when we feel inadequate, we get stingy; we hold on tight. Generosity is an activity that loosens us up. By offering whatever we can – a dollar, a flower, a word of encouragement – we are training in letting go.” ~ Pema Chodron, Comfortable with Uncertainty

“Real generosity comes from developing a general sense of kindness…” ~ Trungpa
