Lens of Association: Generosity

From Everyday Enlightenment
Revision as of 18:59, 15 September 2023 by Jacob Robertson (talk | contribs)

Lenses, in the context of the Beacons of Everyday Enlightenment represent more specific concepts and practices through which we can understand the rich meaning of each Beacon. There are Primary Lenses, which are the most commonly understood and most robust meditative concepts, and there are Other Lenses which are a collection of other closely related ideas for that Beacon.

Generosity is the practice of selfless giving often through acts of charity and kindness. Taken further, and put in the context of the Beacon of Association, practicing Generosity means developing wisdom, contentment and freedom from suffering. As such, Generosity is a perfect way to supplement your practice of Non-Seeking and Non-Attachment. Generosity also becomes easier and more natural as we practice Other-Centeredness and Interconnectedness.

Landmarks

The Realms of Everyday Enlightenment each have some noticeable Landmarks which show the likely alignment someone within that Realm has with each of the Beacons and their various Lenses. These Landmarks are things that need to be noticed and explored in the context of those Lenses and Beacons. And then through working on the Trails and Guides these Landmarks will serve as markers toward the next Realm where new Landmarks await.
