Several Years Ago I Invited A Buddhist Monk To Speak

 / 

Several years ago, I invited a Buddhist monk to speak to my Senior elective class, and quite interestingly, as he entered the room, he didnโ€™t say a word (that caught everyoneโ€™s attention).

He just walked to the board and wrote this: โ€œEVERYONE WANTS TO SAVE THE WORLD, BUT NO ONE WANTS TO HELP MOM DO THE DISHES.โ€ We all laughed.

But then he went on to say this to my students: โ€œStatistically, itโ€™s highly unlikely that any of you will ever have the opportunity to run into a burning orphanage and rescue an infant. But, in the smallest gesture of kindness โ€” a warm smile, holding the door for the person behind you, shoveling the driveway of the elderly person next door โ€” you have committed an act of immeasurable profundity, because to each of us, our life is our universe.โ€

This is my hope for you for the New Year, that by your smallest acts of kindness, you will save an otherโ€™s world.
