My mother and I were coming out of the Walmart to my vehicle. I was placing groceries in the back while my mother got in the passenger seat. An elderly lady was standing behind my vehicle with a puzzled look of her face. She lifted her keyring and held it in the air then looked around. She did this several times and I came to realize she was looking for her vehicle. Two men walked beside her and told her they heard the horn from the other side of the parking lot at the other Walmart entrance and proceed to walk inside the store. The lady still looked confused so…

On Christmas eve there are four students surounded a dog just hit by a car. Bleeding from the dog’s mouth and curling on the middle of the street. When people tried to hold her to the road side, she barked and bit, still laying on the middle of the crowded street. When I saw this, I went to buy a glove then walked to the dog, deal a while with the dog’s defending then decided to took off my coad to cover the dog and hold her to the roadside.Took another one hour under frozen wind to settled the dog to a carton box and get into the subway station…

I help the homeless in the park across the street by bringing food out to the park and by giving small gifts of cash when I can. I bring my dog out to meet them regularly. He loves people and when they see my big, gentle dog, all barriers go down…they want to touch him and pet him and he loves this as much as they do. It seems to make everyone very happy.

I live a few miles down the road from the Pacific Hermitage. A few days ago I invited the monks to my home for their daily meal. It was beautiful to see the three venerable monks walking down my driveway in the snow with the neighborhood dogs “welcoming” them. When Venerable Thitabho saw my fiddle he suggested that I might like your music and later provided the link to your blog and music. Wow! What a treat! So wonderful! And what a wonderful and kind way to share your music… by passing on the kindness.I offered the monks the meal and shared it quiet awareness. Before leaving they chanted a…

I like buddhist music & song.Today while I searching web by google, I found paramita, American buddhist folk music. I really happy to listen these songs. Expressly ‘Samadhi Shoes’ is very good to me.

I was in the queue at the cashier 2 days ago when I saw a 5 cent coin right on top of my dollar notes in my wallet. Just as i took it in my hand, i heard the cashier telling a customer in front of me that he had given her short of 5 cents. I couldn’t believe my ears of the coincidence and immediately handed the customer the 5 cent coin. He was most appreciative and thanked me profusely. The simple act touched my heart, too. I felt simply good that i did the right thing. As a healthcare provider, I have many opportunities to do good but…

I was waiting for the lift with my wife to descend to the ground floor after a meal on the 2nd floor of a food centre. We were slightly late for an event, and therefore was in a slight rush. When the lift came, we immediately entered, and I pressed the button for the ground floor. The lift door started to close, but I noticed there was an elderly man, with some difficulty walking, trying to rush for the same lift. I was sure the man has had a stroke, judging from the way he walked, and the difficulty he had in coordinating his limbs. I immediately reached for the…

It was raining in the morning on one of the working day when I alight at the bus-stop. There were a few people at the bus stop who are waiting for rain to stop. As the rain is not heavy & I know people need to rush for work, I offer to share my umbrella with a lady. I reached my office first but offered to shelter her to her office building which is some distance away. The next morning when I was waiting for the bus at the bus interchange, I saw a lady smiling at me. I smiled back at her although I cannot remember who is she.…

I volunteered to help out as assistant teacher in charge of 10 children on a day excursion. I noticed that there was a girl call her Kelly, who was very lively and full of good humor, curiosity and questions . She was not popular with the teachers as she was hyperactive and not very compliant to rules and discipline about falling in line when walking from place A to B. She was reprimanded on at least 3 occasions for not listening to instructions and for talking unnecessarily. I saw a broken spirit in a young body. Because she was always getting into trouble with the teachers , the other children…

It was during the peak hours then, when i got up the SBS bus with my sister and her friend. We were making our way home after school. The seats were all occupied and it took a while for us to find a seat and settle down. After a few stops, an elderly woman hobbled up the bus with great difficulty, holding a walking stick. I stood up and offered my seat to her. She thanked me and i was very happy. Seeing the smile on her face, i felt veery delighted. I hope i can help more people again.
