Balavihar Notes for 03/06/2016 => By Smruthi Satya
1.Charity
Why to give? -- To gain happiness
Whom to give? -- To people in need
When to give? -- Anytime is a good time
What to give? -- Money/Skills/Love/Time
How to give? -- Random acts of Kindness
Stories-
Boy and his Ice Cream - Even though he had enough money to get a cone ice cream, he bought a plain one so he could give a tip
Buddha Devotee - When the flame went to the other Buddhas, this man put wood blocks around the lamp. Soon the Buddha turned black.
At many temples, they let visitors cook the food themselves. This is the Pay it Forward idea.
Moral - Don’t be selfish, we must all give, even to those who are not in need (siblings, friend, waiter)
The Cup Game-
After everyone gathered their points, we had the opportunity to give away our points to those who didn’t have any.
Rama lives in the heart of who offers oblations, feeds brahmins, does charity, and who looks looks at their Guru more than themselves.
