Generosity is one the six perfections or Paramitas. It has a preeminent place in the Buddhist teachings since it helps train the mind in the art and virtue of letting go.

In order to further one’s spiritual practice it helpful and necessary to train the mind to abandon numerous obstructions. In Buddhism, the practice of generosity is believed to help train the mind in a way conducive to attaining enlightenment. Giving serves as a way to eliminate one’s greed and ill-will.
