Do you struggle with being charitable? Is it also challenging to motivate yourself without self-criticism or negative encouragement? In this video, we discuss the Buddhist practice of charity, or generosity, in combination with wisdom. Without wisdom, in the process of being charitable, we create suffering for ourselves and others. With wisdom, by being generous, we set ourselves and others free. The second topic addresses motivation, and how we can practice self-compassion in the process of working towards our goals. Without self-compassion, the process of effort is often ridden with emotional distress. With self-compassion, we can find joy in every moment of engaging in our task. We can find contentment even if we don't reach our initial goal. Note: please pardon the appearance and poor sound quality of this video.
