My house, my car, my job - what we have often determines how we feel. In our society, it is common to accumulate as many stuff as possible and to be completely focused on our own benefit in order to be truly successful.

In a world so focused on possessions, status and self-benefit, it is perhaps the greatest act of rebellion to give wholeheartedly - without the hope of getting anything in return.

In this teaching, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche will explain the meaning and practice of the paramita of generosity in Buddhism, drawing on his many decades of experience as a Tibetan Buddhist master.
