Good Karma Music Stories

A rat was found in the bin by some children at the school i work at. They crowded around and the poor little rat was cowering with it’s little heart racing. I took the bin (with the rat) to the school ‘bush’ area and recited some medicine buddha mantras and released it.Hopefully this beautiful little creature will make a connection with the Dharma in another life.

I gave my street parking ticket to someone who didn’t have one displayed on their deskboard.

I realize I’ll never get this CD the way things are going, how critical I am with myself, so I’ll extend some kindness to myself at this point. In my mind, there couldn’t possibly be a act of kindness if I’m doing with the intention to receive DM Sure’s music. The intention behind kind act is already tainted. Last Sunday as I was driving on the freeway, a car had smoke coming exhuming, so I wave the car down, and then stopped to help out, when the driver is waiting for the spouse to come, and I realize I don’t know enough about automobiles to do anything, I drove away, saying to myself: “shucks, can’t get DM Sure’s music yet, that wasn’t an act of kindness; need something greater act before the action deserve to be called act of kindness.” I don’t see myself doing anything that’s kind. It’s difficult to do a real act of kindness without the ego benefiting in someway. Somehow, every kind is interpreted as benefiting the self in someway. Perhaps, I’ll relax, and be kind to myself by asking for the CD without having done any act of kindness. Maybe it’ll be a retroactive type of deal, I’ll share this music with as many people as I can or something.

I recently placed my name as a volunteer at a local nursing home.I will be reading books to elderly people who no longer have the capacity to read to themselves.I have chosen this action because I want to be the best person that I can be and I think that it will bring happiness to the elderly people who sometimes feel that they don’t have a lot to look forward to in their lives.I love to read inspirational stories too!

Amitabha. Facing certain issues with my father regarding my future plans within the Buddhadarma, I began to bow to my father, although not on a regular basis. It has worked on mnay levels, such as him realising my sincerity as well as in removing certain obstacles that were present in his mind! Truly wonderful. This is my own experience with how virtous conduct (note: I am not meaning that I am virtous :)) may move people.Amitabha.

I am helping to organise a fundraising in Sydney on 28 July 2007 to raise money to provide fresh drinking water for Cambodian children. We hope to raise A$15000 to build 100 water tanks for Cambodian schools.

This morning as I lay in bed in the warmth, I thought about how cold it was outside and how nice it would be to stay there in the comfort, sleeping in. However the thought of my poor dog locked up outside in the frost , far colder than me, promted me to get out of bed, rug up and take her for a walk. I am not sure whether my act of kindness did me more good or her.
