The Buddha says that the highest reason to give is to adorn the heart, to make the heart and mind beautiful. Can you feel how this relates directly to non-clinging, that the heart free of clinging is a beautiful heart? Letting go—the opening of the hand. What’s most important there is that the contraction of self, the selfing story of “I, me and mine,” in that moment of opening our hand, gets relaxed or at least temporarily challenged.
