Hi, it's Andy here and welcome to Radioheadspace and to Tuesdaymorning.
Or if you can remember the last time that either you did something for another person completelyunconditionally, no idea of receiving anything in return or perhaps the last time somebody did something for you acted with unconditionalkindness, unconditional generosity no matter what theircircumstances.
There's something really interesting in the formal practice of generosity and I know that can sound a little bit strange in some ways because we might think the generosity and kindness is all about spontaneity in themoment.
And in many ways it is certainly the naturalness ofit.
Over time I think we can actually sort of transform generosity so that it's no longer based on this idea that we're going to get something back in return and we may well think well I'm not expecting anything in return and maybe we'renot.
But I think more often than not there is like maybe this idea even down to the simple thing that maybe we hold a door open for somebody and the person just walks through without any kind of acknowledgement somewhere maybe not in everybody but somewhere maybe there's a feeling inside of us wow they didn't even say thank you so there was some generosity in opening the door but maybe there was also an expectation of thanks in return maybe it's just we're about to pull out onto the road or something like that and we allow another car to gopast.
There are lots of different situations in life where there is an idea that maybe we're just doing something because we're kind but actually there's some kind of expectation attached tothat.
Now thinking of this in relation to an exercise that we used to do at the monastery where I lived and once a day in some monasteries twice a day we would come together for food and although there wasn't a lot of chatter at the table we would set the table for however many people there were and we'd sit down toeat.
But we would always leave one seat free at the table and we would always have one plate free in the middle of the table and it was a really nice sort of exercise that we would do at the start of every meal you would look at your plate and you would take the nicest looking thing on the plate you know it's a plate of food but somehow when we look at plate of food we normally kind of identify the bit that we would most like to eat the bit that looks tastiest so we would take this little bit of food small amount and we'd put it on the plate in the middle of thetable.
