Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go, non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulness practice. You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity as a vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise in giving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can give yourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, or some time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough to accept these gifts without obligation -- to simply receive from yourself, and from the universe.

I would have a man generous to his country, his neighbors, his friends, and most of all his poor friends. Not like some who are most lavish with those who are able to give most to them.

Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the lore of nicely -- calculated less or more.

Benevolence doesn't consist in those who are prosperous pitying and helping those who are not. Benevolence consists in fellow-feeling that puts you upon actually the same level with the fellow who suffers.

The test of generosity is not how much you give, but how much you have left.

Benevolence is the characteristic of the righteous descendants of the seed of Abraham, our father.

Generosity is a principle -- not an amount.

You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them.

Let them do good, and be rich in well-doing. Be ready to give generously and share with others.
