Giving


Truly, misers fare
not to heavenly realms;
nor, indeed, do fools praise generosity,
But the wise man rejoices in giving,
and by that alone does he become
happy hereafter.

Once I wanted to use this practicing tonglen. I wanted to inspire the mortal illness and return health to one I loved soo much... But I could not do it. I was afraid. I understood, it is not real, but I was afraid to inspire that mortal illness. I could not help, but I can't forget my cowardice for many years.
