Good Karma Music Stories

My on call residents at the university hospital were on call overnight on Christams day. They couldn’t spend the day with their family but were spending the day taking care of sick patients, serving in the path they have chosen. But still, I think staying in the hospital on a holiday overnight can be a little challenging. I was supervising them but am able to go home and have a Christmas dinner. My girlfriend and I bought them each a gift- a scarf and a book, to keep them warm and open their mind. We went to an office that is open, gifts wrapped and labeled for each of them. We told the clerk not to say that we dropped it off so it would be anonymous. Then I texted them on their pager with no name.The next day they were so excited. They were shocked about how kind an act they were recepients of. I think medicine can forget the root of compassion at its core since among residents they often feel brutalized.They were curious as to who did it for them. They still don’t know.

In Islam,it is said that smiling in the face of your brother is charity. I smile to as many people as I can everyday. Please do the same..it can make other people’s days 🙂

i invited a few student friends away on a trip to noosa (a beautiful part of australia) and we shared some personal stories together. Maybe that weekend bonded us all for life. One of my new friends told us of a personal story of how he had helped a prosititute get out of her lifestyle of entrapment, to become something. I shared that I wanted to find a good husband and have a child. He said he would pray for me. 2 weeks later, he texted me and said “there is a guy I want you to meet. He has just moved into my apartment. He has a good soul, and would be good for you”. He arranged the meeting, and we fell instantly in love. I thank my friend for his act of kindness towards me.

Everyone in my college residential house celebrated the day that Obama won the elections. There was so much happiness and excitement, yet there was also one female in our house (I didn’t know her that well) who was Republican and she was harassed by some other students. She was hiding in her room and when I found her she was crying for not only her lost candidate, but because of the insensitivity of the other students. I couldn’t think of anything to say and so I gave her a hug. I hope she remembers that there are people out there who cherish all beings regardless of political affiliation.(I posted before, but I think I answered the math problem incorrectly so everything was deleted.)2+2/4 = 2.5(2+2)/4 = 1

As where i feel farther from awakening and liberating the self…i enjoy the act of liberation in the means of several different types…we here in town have a very loving, non judging, community based collective, that has inspired me greatly, there is a free lending library, they hold free music performances, etc…well i come from a place where i had chosen to live a life of humility…i was digging through dumpsters for wasted food, that was still good mind you, being freshly thrown away in knowing that spending money for more food while so much is being wasted was ignorance…well one time i found an entire bag of fresh bread…so i took it to the collective for them to give to people who stopped by who might be hungry…i love buying books that are vital, in my opinion, to raising awareness, and giving them away…knowledge liberation from the clutches of capital…and sometimes a simple smile to a stranger can do more than any amount of materials ever could…i would like to become involved with a Johnny Apple seed Mind frame, growing food everywhere, for the earth is the great garden itself, as well as, The Really Really Free Market….where we give stuff away all the time, no trade, no money just sharing…www.reallyreallyfree.org/

As a volunteer English teacher in the Taipei branch of DRBA for over five years. I love to read the book of Standards for Students with the teenager students every Saturday morning. “The amount you give and you get should always be clearly distinguished. Make sure that your giving surpasses the amount that you receive.”The meaning of the words above is as our teacher’s teaching:學吃虧. So, it’s important to teach our children the Ancient Sages’ wisdom. And follow these rules for being a student. Also they can improve their English ability.

My mother passed away in January of 1998, and I being an only child needed to help my father as his lifelong partner was not with him. For two years I labored with him doing cooking, laundry and other household chores as well as keeping in touch with him twice a day per phone calls from work. I also assisted him with his medical appointments and treatments and made sure that all his bills et al were paid in timely fashion. He eventually passed away two years later in January of 2000, but I am glad that I could be his live-in helper as his mental capacity was a bit disoriented and he could not even make a phone call as before. For me, those two years were the best of my life, and I am glad I could be with him
