After opening prayers and spending some time on the Samskriti play planning, we went straight to learning 'where God is' so we can mail our post card to HIM.
God resides in the hearts of those
- who give
- who looks upon one's teacher more than you
We discussed what charity is, from each of our perspective, and went onto learn the story of a poor boy who opted for a cheaper ice cream so that he can share tips with the waitress. We also learnt the Mongoose story which is the kids' pick to present at Samskriti. We then learn the story of the Smoky Buddha. A devotee loved only one Buddha statue, which is shiny and golden, in a temple where there were several. He lighted incense sticks for his favorite Buddha everyday, but saw that the fragrance is spreading to other Buddha Statues also at the temple. He wanted only his favorite Buddha to get the incense fragrance. So he built an enclosure around his favorite Buddha.
