In these tough economic times it's hard to save money and give to charity when there are so many worthy causes that need our attention right now. So my proposal
is this, save the money you would spend on your Coffee shop or Starbuck's coffee and donate it to the Earthquake victims in Japan. I'm putting it in a jar daily and donating it to charity for the the duration of relief efforts. it's only two to three dollars a day and can make a very big impact in a small way. So, please consider this small endeavor and how it can make a small impact. the Buddha said," A large jar fills drop by drop". Thank you you for considering this small act of Dharma.

Thank you for sharing your thought at Prayers for Japan blog. I am impressed with your dedication to the Dharma.
ReplyDeleteI truly appreciate all thoughts and prayers we have been receiving from our friends and even those who may not have any friends in Japan.
I am very much touched.
The earthquake and tsunami was devastating.
Radiation leak from damaged nuclear power plants are scary.
But this is what we built, and this is what we have to face.
In this catastrophe, however, I am very confident that we human beings have great potentials to overcome any challenges.
It is truly the time to tap into the potential to not only to rebuild the life and communities, but also to build the world of harmony where your genuine heart and that of all beings are manifested.
I am convinced that the Dharma is the key for our awakening.
