Via GBF // "The Alchemy of Generosity" with Kevin Martin

Alchemy is all about transformation, and there is nothing in our practice more transformative than generosity - toward both ourselves and others.

In this talk, Kevin Martin shares that what we do on the cushion is the most generous thing we can give to ourselves. Our practice can help us disrupt personal karma by making us more curious about the deeply held beliefs and patterns that imprison us. 

Sharing the dharma is also a great act of generosity toward others. Putting our knowledge into action is even more powerful. It takes courage to apply the dharma in order to disrupt the conditions in the world that give rise to suffering.

Kevin goes on to explore cultivating a generous heart. This can include the courage to express our genuine self, which extends to others the freedom to be themselves.
