Buddha taught us that giving is the first paramita to free yourself from distress and desires. All buddhists practice the Six Paramitas. Paramita is Sanskrit meaning "to reach the other shore," where there are no distress and desires. Today, paramita means returning to our original true Buddha nature that is common in all sentient beings. How do you see our original nature?
