Hi Anju,

The Value Of A Smile
by Author Unknown

A smile cost nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who receive,
without making poorer those who give.
It takes but a moment,
but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home,
fosters good will in business,
and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged,
sunshine to the sad,
and is nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone
until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile.
Give them one of yours,
as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

Dear sister Anju,

I'm so excited to hear that great news for you & your brother, it brings me great joy to chant for others...I'm pretty sure others chanted for your victory as well. Now I will continue to chant so that you can experience a great change in your life too...so that you can taste the fruit of your practice. Thank you for letting me know of your answered prayer. Keep the faith & be consistant so that you can see first hand all areas of your life changing for the better.

PEACE...})i({

By the way when I say release garbage/darkness, doesn't mean that we get rid of lower life conditions...those stay with us...even when they are not manifested.

Dear sister Anju,

All is well with me, thank you for asking. This saturday coming which was my brother's birthday ( December 19th ) he passed away in 2005, a few friends & myself will be doing a 10hr tozo ( chanting )...my prayer will be, to get any deep rooted garbage out of me... to face any darkness in me, deal with it, and release it to the universe...to be a bit more polished & prepared for the New Year. I did my first 8hr tozo ( chanting ) not so long ago, with amazing results...but before the great results, I got a big resistance/painful emotional events occured for about 3 days...but it was sooooo worth it. This would be my first 10 hr tozo ( chanting ) as well, got the idea from someone in this web site...my extra efforts used to be 4hrs/ Although quality is better than quantity sometimes depending on our life circumstances when push comes to shove, it is a good idea to make efforts/causes in extra quality chanting...but not to overdue everyday that could make anyone get burned out...thats my opinion though.

I'll be wishing you & your family the very best.
PEACE...})i({
