Generosity
PRACTICES TO CULTIVATE ONE OF THE SIX PERFECTIONSGIVE YOUR SKILLS, LOVE AND TIME
One of the best ways to learn how to practice in your life is to offer your skills or time. You can volunteer by offering your service to benefit all sentient beings. This helps you develop skillful means to see that any activity can be a Dharma offering when done with the right intention. When we work on projects together with loving kindness and gratitude for each other we are able to do things so much bigger than our own ability.
Volunteer Your Time
GIVE YOUR MATERIAL ASSETS AND MONEY
Money is not holy or un holy, just neutral. How people use it or what the purpose makes money holy or un holy or very bad. It depends on the purpose; not the money itself. When you have money, you need to develop the discriminating wisdom of how to use it wisely. When you make an offering to Dharma activities your Merit and the Merit of those you make offerings to increases for the benefit of all beings.

Generosity is the foundation of the Bodhisattva path. When you give to Rime Institute you help give the gift of Dharma the one true medicine for the suffering of sentient beings. May the merits from your act of generosity become the cause for the golden age of peace and harmony to arise.
The foundation of the Buddhist path is generosity. It is the basis upon which we remove our attachment and focus on the needs of others. For this reason, we have developed a generosity-based model in which we offer the opportunity to give back and attend events at an affordable cost. However, for us to be able to make the Dharma accessible in this way, we need the financial support to sponsor these offerings. In this way we create a chain of giving in which each act of generosity gives rise to new opportunities and new ways of supporting each other as we work towards manifesting a Golden Age of peace and harmony. we remove our attachment and focus on the needs of others.
