dana
The practice of Dana was one of the first teachings of the Buddha.
Dana (pronounced "dah-na") is a Pali word meaning generosity. Dating back more than 2,500 years to the time of the Buddha, there has existed an interdependence between those who offer the teachings and those who receive them. The teachings are given freely, since they are considered priceless.
