"The Buddha’s solution is homeopathic rather than allopathic:
you don’t control your thoughts, you transform them, which you do by vowing to liberate others.
The vow creates a path that isn’t a path for beings who aren’t beings.
The practice of charity is the first of the paramitas.
The sutra begins with alms but focuses on the gift of liberation."

generosity of spirit is greater than an offering of as many worlds as there are grains of sand in the Ganges covered with the seven treasures, as is said🙏🏻🪷

Rightly said. Meditation is preparation for opening our hearts to the practice of compassion and generosity. This includes generosity of all sorts, not merely the monetary kind. 😊🙏🏻
