OT: OK, I can't resist. Lord Buddha said that if we really knew how beneficial generosity was for our karma we would never stop giving.
One of the best anecdotes I ever heard about him was that one of his disciples, a very rich woman, was so stingy that he had her pass a carrot from one hand to another, back and forth, so that she would begin to get the feeling of giving.
May all beings be happy
May all beings be free of suffering
May they know the joy that know no sorrows
May they be content
Om mani padme hum
