1. Don't worry about what to give. Make sure it is appropriate.
2. The amount is not important: the quality of the giving is.
3. If the giving is out of personal desire it is not appropriate.
4. The giving "should" be from an intuitive sense of what you need to give at that time - plus what is "really" needed.
5. Because you give one thing at one time is no indication that you should give the same thing the next time. Needs change.
6. If you receive personal satisfaction from the gift you have gotten your "payment".
7. Do not give something because you think it would be "nice", or "spiritual", or is something that will be appreciated.
8. Do not give something you don't want to give.
9. Give when you don't want to give something if you know it is what should be given.
10. Do not give out of a sense of "obligation".
11. You are "obliged" to give something material if you attend this "class".
12, Material does not mean "good wishes" it is something "tangible".
12. What is given should not be for the personal benefit of the "teacher" or to bring fame or fortune to that person.
13. Look for a donation that will aid the "work". Thus begin to be aware of what the work "is".
14. Do not give something just for the sake of giving.
15. Give for giving's sake.
16. If you feel as though you haven't given enough you probably haven't.
17. If you feel imposed upon, give more than you want to.
18. If you feel satisfied through your donation, find out what is the satisfaction. It may be less than you think.
19. Do not give out of gratitude, a sense of thanks, for payment, in trade, or with any expectation - even expectation of thanks, and especially any sense of special treatment.
20. Consider carefully what to give. If you simply give, you may not be "giving" at all.
21.You receive according to the quality of your giving. This is a very important practice and should be approached thus.
