"Giving is innate.We are infinitely void,innately pure,innately generous. Looking beyond the realm of individual psychology,we may release our innate generosity at a metaphysical level of being when we also realize our innate voidness. Sometimes people imagine that there is just one barrier between us and Reality,a barrier built out of language or signs. But even apart from language we have a perception of things as things. ...Sangharakshita.....Wisdom beyond words." James Haywood
