You are so rich. Give give give....!
Once, a very poor man came to Buddha. He asked: " Bhagwan, Why am I so poor?"
Buddha answered: "You are poor because you don’t practice generosity. You don’t practice charity."
The poor man was taken aback! "How can I practice charity. I am poor. I have nothing to give".
Buddha smiled. "You have five treasures that you can share with others.
First, you have your face. Smile. Make others smile and make them feel good. Share your smiles. It's free!
Next, use your eyes. You can look at others with eyes full of love and care. You can heal others with just a loving look.
Then, use your mouth. Whenever you speak - be compassionate, loving, encouraging! Appreciate any good you see. Make others feel valued. Spread joy!
After that use your heart. With your loving heart you can wish happiness to others.. Make others feel loved.
Finally use this body to do good things for others. Help the needy. A small caring gesture changes lives.
You have so much to give. You are rich!"
All of us are millionaires. Let us give generously to the needy! Let our lives be enriched more and let us enrich the lives of those around us!
