Good Karma Music Stories

Wild birds and cats in the monastery garden do not mix well – I found many fine feathers and a broken wing left behind too… Showed others – the cat will be restrained to make the monasery a friendlier place for all beings…I feel happier in my heart…

While I went to get my Starbucks one day, I noticed a little old lady. She appeared to be homeless, but she was not asking for money from anyone. I carried on and bought my drink and saw her again once I came back outside. At that point, I saw her digging in the garbage, still not asking anyone for any money. It hit me that she could very well be anyone’s sweet little grandma, but here she was just digging through the garbage for food of some sort. I went up to her and gave her the rest of my remaining cash.

I made cookies (they were vegan, so mostly healthy) for all my co-workers. I found that it allowed me to relate to them with somewhat more metta and openness.

Today I gave a hug to my mom for free.

Yesterday I realized that many times I am lost in self interest thinking while getting upset with my wife. I resolve to cut down on this habit

I wished happiness to all beings.

Dear Dharma Friends! I spent one day in Rehabilitation Center for the chronically ill (particular childern). One therapy method is horseriding. A designated person would place the patient securely on horseback and another lead the horse around. My job was to lead the horse ridden by a sick person. Most of the time I’v been reciting the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva.The kids were very happy, and some of them were ready to ride even in the rain:). The horses sometimes appeared bored, but they never rebelled and seemed happy to continue.It occured to me that horses are often mistreated, but when treated well, on the other hand, an opportunity might be created for them to achieve something positive in order to erase bad karma and facilitate good conditions in the future. I had a very nice day in the Center, and I hope that we’ve done some good. May all living beings be good and well. Chin Shan
