Giving = Non-attachment = Giving

This connects with the "Rimpoche's Toenails" post from a few days ago:

"Sometimes we actually physically can give something yet be still be attached. To truly give we should let go of all attachment to that which is given. When we donate money, we cannot be attached to feeling too good about ourselves being so charitable. When we bestow a gift, are we doing it in the spirit of giving or are we doing it to get a good feeling that we attach to?"

If we seek nothing in return than we give without attachment.
