Wednesday, 7th May 2025 - What kind deeds did I do today?

1. I sent £10 in naira to an in-law relative to wish him happy birthday for tomorrow.

2. I bought a gift and card online for my relative who recently gave birth to a baby boy. I am visiting her with the gift and card this weekend to congratulate her on her new arrival. I look forward to meeting the new arrival.

3. I bought some fruits to share with my housemates and I left them on the dining table in the living room for my housemates to help themselves and I offered the fruit to all my housemates too. Yum yum.

4. I emptied the bins in the room into the kitchen bin.

5. I emptied the recycling bin and kitchen bin into the big bins outside.

6. I made my bed.

7. I brushed my teeth.

8. I washed my face.

9. I had a shower.

10. I oiled my body.

11. I put on deodorant.

12. I ate ruits.

13. I took my multi-vitamins

14. I transferred £20 to a friend's account for him to buy vegan food to cook tonight. Bon Appetit! Sweet friend ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

15. I moved a moth who was not moving on the bath to the kitchen downstairs to munch on food as much as he likes. He flew off my hand once I entered the kitchen. I bet he is a hungry guy!

My reflections on Buddha's teachings

Buddha taught us not to harm any living beings. He included tiny animals like ladybirds, ants, cockroaches etc., big animals like elephants and kangaroos and human beings. So without harming anyone, we can help end killing by each day concentrating on not killing anyone. So we need to take it one day at a time. Focus on today and meditate on 'I am not going to kill anyone today'. Focus on this throughout the day. Focus also on not harming anyone. Lying to someone harms them so tell people the truth. Shouting at people harm them so don't shout at people. Don't do anything to people that will harm them by making them sad. Meditate on not harming anyone today. The moment a kind thought comes to you to do something kind to someone else, do the kind action to the other person. Don't hesitate to do it or let negative thoughts stop you from doing it. Always say yes to kind impulsive actions.
