Proper season of gifts

[Dhammañāṇa Bhikkhu]

Thought to start a topic on the proper seasons of giving, taking short lasting new peace as a starter for awareness.

Crazy politic war... how ever, there are proper times of giving in need

“There are these five seasonable gifts. Which five? One gives to a newcomer. One gives to one going away. One gives to one who is ill. One gives in time of famine. One sets the first fruits of field & orchard in front of those who are virtuous. These are the five seasonable gifts.” ... Kaladana Sutta: Seasonable Gifts

Respectfully:

"Proper" sounds horribly prescriptive to my ears and smacks of a human desire for conformity.
Your quote sounds like something written many years ago which has lost its cultural relevance and become dogma.

 

[Dhammañāṇa Bhikkhu]

Stupid and foolish is never respectfully.

How could my person be so foolish to talk on generosity. 20 years not a single time in this realm, that coming about a generous and faithful person. Not a single!

Pardon for the disturbance, and it's really time to total abound this realm with it's consumer, thieves, plunder and traders.

@Bloodshot -

Respectfully?

 

[Bloodshot]

Yes, respectfully. I simply reflected on how this appears to me. I haven't called anyone stupid or foolish for their opinion. Where is the disrespect?
