Dana and benefits of Generosity
Dana is the first of practice under the 10 Perfections (Parami) and which assist in our practice as a Buddhist. It is not a virtue exclusive to Buddhism, as all other religions approve of generosity as something worthy of practice.
The practice of dana is directly related to the law of kamma. The Buddha had said:
Bhikkhus,
If beings knew as I know the fruit (vipaka) of giving gifts
(danasamvibhagassa), they would not eat without having given, nor would
the taint of stinginess obsess their mind and stay there.
Even if it were their last bite, their last morsel of food, they would not eat
of it without giving a gift, if there were anyone to receive it.
