On Charity

Charity does not need money nor prosperity nor wealth. 

Buddhism prescribes five types of daanaas (दन) each one 10 times more valuable and meritorious than the previous one.

1. धन दान / अर्थ दान money - of money / wealth
2. अन्न दान of food
3. रक्त दान of blood
4. ज्ञान दान of knowledge
5. धर्म दान by inculcating righteousness

Besides, I realised that we all have six stomachs.

1. For food
2. For Praise
3. For expectations fulfilled
4. For Hurt, Pain, Guilt Insult, Injury, Slighted, Wronged
5. For Ruminating Contents of the previous one No. 4
6. For mulling and ruminating by thinking about wrong to do to others / giving back, wrong done to us, reflecting on how wronged etc.

So we can feed others' stomachs No 1, 2 and 3 and help them to be free of 4, 5 and 6.
