Yesterday it was pouring with rain. When I cameback to the office after buying my lunch I met a lady who looked troubled. She didn’t have any umbrella and had to go out. I lend her my umbrella. After an hour she returned it and she was very grateful.

I don’t know if this counts, but here goes. My sister-in-law had to have her dog of 13 years put down yesterday. I have had dogs put down before and know how difficult it can be. I made myself available to her and went with her to the vet’s office in order to share with her the passing of her Samantha. I wished Samantha a wonderful rebirth and my sister-in-law and I laughed and cried together. I though it was important that someone be there for her.

a friend who i only know through the internet posted the other day that she was low on money and made a joke about people donating to the Name Needs Money fund. it had just been my birthday so i was rolling in a couple hundred bucks (since im still fairly young and get money for my birthday.) i was planning on getting a medicinal marijuana card, cause i would like to enjoy smoking weed legally. instead im mailing her 50 bucks and hoping its enough to make her life all the much better.

I am a big fan of music. After started reading I understood all my music is pretty much does not help me to grow Alobha, Adosha and Amoha. I put all my music collection a side. Experiecned it helped a lot to cut down rebirth.

I’m an American Caucasian woman who married into a Cantonese family. My husband’s relatives are from Hong Kong and some of them reside here in the states. The first time I went to the family home I was asked to go to the ancestral shrine and give incense. I was very confused and didn’t understand the customs, the symbol of my action, or if it was even proper to do so without an understanding of my gift. But, I did as was offered… and all of my husband’s family hugged and encouraged me after having done so.This has been the catalyst for my deep desire to embrace and integrate with…

I was connected to a group and some misunderstanding ame along and I stoped facing them any more. Always I try to hide and flight but not any more. I know only soultion is free from this samsara. love

As a stay-at-home father for many years, I learned selflessness by necessity…so many little people with endless needs for care, love, and compassion. If I hadn’t learned to care more about the needs of my children than my own, I would have probably remained confined within my own self, frustrated and unhappy. But they were truly my teachers, drawing me out of myself through their total dependence on me. Now as they reach young adulthood, I find to my utter joy that I was successful as their teacher too. They show through their words and their actions that they too have learned how to find happiness through kindness and by…

i live in new york city, many years ago when i was quite young i remember watching a blind person waiting patiently at a street corner for soemone to help him cross. i new he needed help because every few seconds he would tap his cane on the ground hoping to get someones attention. i was in a rush and going in the opposite direction i figured someone else would help..well i passed him by but kept looking over my shoulder to see if someone would stop to help…as i kept going further and further it became apparent that no one was stopping until i was so far i lost…

So I work for a non-profit agency in NYC and I’m on a city bus with some of my clients. We pull up at a bus stop where a woman with a stroller waits. When the bus doors open and it’s time for her to get on she isn’t able to properly fold up the stroller. She has in one hand her baby child, and with the free hand she struggles to fold the stroller.
