Perfection of Generosity (Dana Paramita)
May I be generous
May I be kind and friendly
May I be compassionate
May I be empathetic
May I participate in others joy
May I accept things as they are

- unconditional love, a boundless openness of heart and mind,
- a selfless generosity and giving which is completely free from attachment

- unconditional and selfless; completely free of any selfish desire for gratitude, recognition, advantage, reputation, or any worldly reward.
- genuine concern for others—the truly generous motivation of the awakened heart of compassion, wisdom, and love.
- free of discrimination regarding who is worthy and who is unworthy to receive.
- cure for the afflictions of greed, miserliness, and possessiveness.
