Homeless
One day, when I was with one of my friends in Warsaw, I have become very, very hungry. We ate outside, when near of us, in great basket on garbage, some oldest person begin searching. He was homeless who searched for thrown out leavings of feeds. Then, I wanted to return part of my feed, but I looked only. Never I have faced each other with homeless almost earlier, who searchs for not alcohol but feeds. I was in easy shock. Homeless has been removed with food from basket, sat on nearby, and begin eating. I have taken one of my warm saigons and I have take away it for…

One day at work
Working as a pharmacist, has so much opportunities to give back to the community. Every day, get to meet so many people who need help in different ways. One day, an elderly lady who was not in good mood came into the pharmacy. She was just discharged from the hospital and was very confused with all her medications.

Wild friends from the bush
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…

Starbucks Rendezvous
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.

Cookies
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.

One day
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…
