✦ A story about Generosity

Poverty of Spirit!

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.
