Circle of Kindness: Pay it Forward

Photo: Glenn Fleishman

Kindness is medicine for the world.

I want to follow a suggestion by a fellow-blogger, Leo Babauta, and publicly offer a kindness.

 

I will offer one free place on my next retreat for someone who can’t afford to attend.

(If you are interested in attending a retreat please click here)

Maybe you would like to join in this circle of kindness? What act of kindness are you willing to commit to?

 

Please leave a comment with your personal commitment. You could also ask your nearest and dearest to join in: ask them what act of kindness they are willing to commit to. In this way we can all be part of a growing ‘circle of kindness’.

Being kind, giving, sharing, and helping are good things that bind people in unity. Thx for leading by example, Mary.

My colleagues, my parents, and I will together donate money and accessories to a temple this upcoming Sunday.

Paying it forward is a great technique. When you are kind and help someone with something that they’re having trouble with themselves, you instill with them a great and pure emotion. I know that when I am helped and experience this emotion, I feel like going and helping someone who needs MY help.
A short, but fantastic article! :3
