  • Dog saved by Christian and Buddhist on Christmas Eve (1/7/2011)

    On Christmas eve there are four students surounded a dog just hit by a car. Bleeding from the dog’s mouth and curling on the middle of the street. When people tried to hold her to the road side, she barked and bit, still laying on the middle of the crowded street. When I saw this, I went to buy a glove then walked to the dog, deal a while with the dog’s defending then decided to took off my coad to cover the dog and hold her to the roadside.Took another one hour under frozen wind to settled the dog to a carton box and get into the subway station for no taxi and traffic jam on that eve. No doubt that my cold getting much worse since that night. A Buddhist working with four Christian girls to save a dog on Christmas eve.

  • Helping the homeless (12/13/2010)

    I help the homeless in the park across the street by bringing food out to the park and by giving small gifts of cash when I can. I bring my dog out to meet them regularly. He loves people and when they see my big, gentle dog, all barriers go down…they want to touch him and pet him and he loves this as much as they do. It seems to make everyone very happy.

  • The monks of the Pacific Hermitage (12/9/2010)

    I live a few miles down the road from the Pacific Hermitage. A few days ago I invited the monks to my home for their daily meal. It was beautiful to see the three venerable monks walking down my driveway in the snow with the neighborhood dogs “welcoming” them. When Venerable Thitabho saw my fiddle he suggested that I might like your music and later provided the link to your blog and music. Wow! What a treat! So wonderful! And what a wonderful and kind way to share your music… by passing on the kindness.I offered the monks the meal and shared it quiet awareness. Before leaving they chanted a blessing, filling my home with their voices and kind energy.I feel so fortunate and blessed by their presence and their offerings to this community.Thank you for sharing your lovely music.With metta,Erica

  • immeasurable joy from 5 cents dana (12/5/2010)

    I was in the queue at the cashier 2 days ago when I saw a 5 cent coin right on top of my dollar notes in my wallet. Just as i took it in my hand, i heard the cashier telling a customer in front of me that he had given her short of 5 cents. I couldn’t believe my ears of the coincidence and immediately handed the customer the 5 cent coin. He was most appreciative and thanked me profusely. The simple act touched my heart, too. I felt simply good that i did the right thing. As a healthcare provider, I have many opportunities to do good but somehow, this act had an impact in me. I wish I have more such opportunities 🙂 Thank you for reading …

  • Simple Act of Kindness (12/3/2010)

    I was waiting for the lift with my wife to descend to the ground floor after a meal on the 2nd floor of a food centre. We were slightly late for an event, and therefore was in a slight rush. When the lift came, we immediately entered, and I pressed the button for the ground floor. The lift door started to close, but I noticed there was an elderly man, with some difficulty walking, trying to rush for the same lift. I was sure the man has had a stroke, judging from the way he walked, and the difficulty he had in coordinating his limbs. I immediately reached for the ‘door open’ button, pressed and held the door open, and smiled to him as he entered the lift slowly. He reciprocated my smile. It warms my heart.

  • Sharing of umbrella (12/3/2010)

    It was raining in the morning on one of the working day when I alight at the bus-stop. There were a few people at the bus stop who are waiting for rain to stop. As the rain is not heavy & I know people need to rush for work, I offer to share my umbrella with a lady. I reached my office first but offered to shelter her to her office building which is some distance away. The next morning when I was waiting for the bus at the bus interchange, I saw a lady smiling at me. I smiled back at her although I cannot remember who is she. I tried to recall & realised she is the lady whom I have shared the umbrella with. It is a good feeling. I learnt that if everyone help each other, then the universal will be filled with pure love & a better place to live in.
