Listen to Section 4 of The Diamond Sutra Sung in English, titled, "How a Bodhisattva Practices Charity," with advice from a Buddhist perspective about the right attitude for a spiritual adept to have while offering: "When a Bodhisattva practices charity, his or her mind should not abide anywhere. A Bodhisattva should practice virtue without abiding in appearances, unmoved by sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, or things. A Bodhisattva should offer help without abiding in false notions of form."
15b3 Cleaning up your karmas

Audio Adjunct:
Florence Scovel Shinn was a popular possibility thinker, lecturer, and author of the early 20th century. Her books include, The Game of Life and How to Play It, and Your Word is Your Wand, which I'v found to be far more relevant to today’s world than more recent “manifestation gospel” teachings. Florence’s friendly advice is anchored in her study of Biblical teachings, which she has contemplated and made personal for herself and in her writings. If there is one author I would recommend for learning about the power of words and positive thinking in an intelligent and practical way, it is Florence Scovel Shinn. Here is a Libravox audio recording of chapter three from The Game of Life, “The Power of the Word,” read with volunteer Amy Conger’s sweet voice.
Here's a portriat of Florence in 1903:
