A poor man asked the Buddha,
“Why am I so poor?”
The Buddha said, “you do not learn to
give.”
So the poor man said, “If I’m not having
anything?”
Buddha said: “You have a few things,
The Face, which can give a smile;
Mouth: you can praise or comfort others;
The Heart: it can open up to others;
Eyes: who can look the other with the eyes of goodness;
Body: which can be used to help
others.”
So, actually we are not poor at all,
poverty of spirit is the real poverty.
So very true. We always have something we can share with others - ourselves.
