In Buddhism there are six or sometimes ten paramitas (perfections). The first paramita is dana, or the traditional gesture of giving, particularly to the monastic community through alms and material goods. What makes it a little different from a more traditional generosity is there is nothing transactional about it. One gives freely without expecting anything in return.
