“Generosity balances getting by giving, it gives us balance and gives society balance. It focuses on others, not on things. It develops friendships, compassion and concern. We want to help free others from suffering and this helps free us from unhappiness. It becomes easier to be happy and the more inner happiness, the less we need from the world. So, we give more, use less, save the environment by living in harmony with Nature.”

Somdet Phra Buddhaghosacariya (P. A. Payutto)
