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.
