How do you give? Do you think giving a gift can happen beyond the holidays and birthdays? Giving from a Buddhist perspective means that we can give love, fearlessness, good advice to our friends as well as material things. If we give in this way, we can discover happy feelings in ourselves.
Join Jannette Kennedy to explore these wisdom perspectives and see how you can discover them in your daily life interactions with others at home, at school and pretty much wherever you go!
