Little BuddhaThank you both Jasmine and Will.
“Daily selfless service and sharing of knowledge” I agree are key. I always feel so much better when I’ve been able to help someone by doing something for them or helping them learn something new. My negative mind criticizes me for “desperately feeling like being needed”, but it feels so good to have been able to help someone. I do sometimes need to temper that “selfless service” by taking time for myself and temper the “sharing of knowledge” so as not overwhelm or become arrogant. The middle path is hard to find.
@@Jasmine-3 Would you be able to share your story on how you found your teacher?
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
