	Encyclopedia: Dana (Buddhism)
		Dana invites each individual to develop his/her own capacity to be generous in a context that directly assists his/her own spiritual growth.
		Because dana is a 'practice', with awareness and honesty we allow ourselves to experience how liberating and happiness-producing it feels to let go, and where it is painful because it is challenging to let go.
		Dana is not a tip, nor is it in exchange for receiving the Teachings of the Buddha.

	Buddhism :: Bodhisattva :: Generosity:: Dana
		Dana consists not so much in the act of giving as in the feeling of wanting to give, of wanting to share what you have with other people.
		This second stage of Dana is conditional in the sense that our motives may not be pure and it is also conditional in the sense that it is in response to needs.
		At this stage we are beginning to practise the Perfection of Generosity, Dana Paramita, we are beginning to experience something of the desire, “to become that which maintains all beings situated throughout space, so long as all have not attained to peace”, as the words of the Puja say.

		The spiritual path of the bodhisattva is the central teaching of Mahayana Buddhism.
		The bodhisattva does not aspire to leave the round of birth-and-death (samsara) before all beings are saved; he is thus distinguished from the arahant of earlier Buddhism, who allegedly seeks nirvana only for himself and who, according to Mahayana teaching, has an inferior spiritual attainment.
		The practice of a bodhisattva consists of the six "perfections" or paramitas: charity (dana), morality (sila), forbearance (ksanti), diligence (virya), meditation (dhyana), and wisdom (prajna).
