Venerable Dhammasami, both founder and the head of the Oxford Buddha Vihara, is coming to speak on the Ten Perfections.
The first of the ten perfections, dana, or generosity:
'Just as a pot full of water when turned upside down lets all the liquid run out and takes none of it back, so the perfection of generosity consists of not having the slightest thought of remorse over what has been given away, even if one sacrifices absolutely everything'
