I emptied the bins.
- Saturday, 26th April 2025 - What kind deeds did I do today to make others happy
I cleaned the bathroom. I emptied the bins and changed the bin liners. I watered the plants. Comments When people are horrible towards you, don't cry. Don't get angry. Don't feel bad. Instead love the person being mean to you. Think words like 'they are amazing people. They are excellent people. I am an amazing excellent person' and think that a person's lies about you can ever stop you feeling good about yourself. Have a really high self-esteem forever. Love yourself and put yourself first so that no one can hurt you. By doing this, you are being kind to yourself.

I sent £10 in naira to an in-law relative to wish him happy birthday for tomorrow. 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. 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. I emptied the bins in the room into the kitchen bin. I emptied the recycling bin and kitchen bin into the big bins outside. I made my bed. I brushed my teeth. I washed my face. I had a shower. I oiled my body. I put on deodorant. I ate ruits. I took my multi-vitamins I transferred £20 to a friend's account for him to buy vegan food to cook tonight. Bon Appetit! Sweet friend ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ 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.
- Great Expectations definitely works every time and this is definitely the truth forever. I have experienced it working.
Always expect things to be positive and they always are. Never expect the worse and the worse never happens. Always expect the positive and the positive happens. When you make something to improve a person's body immediately, all you do is instruct the person on how to use the product and put it on the person's body and the person improves immediately.

- What is a friend?
Someone who cares about you and tries not to hurt your fragile feelings but tries to be kind to you even when believing that you have done something horrible to them in the past. A friend does not hang on to the past or future you but loves you now and accepts that you are real now and that you feel mental and physical pain and tries not to inflict mental or physical pain on you. In the present moment, a friend does not harm you and a friend is kind to you. Everyone you meet in the present moment can be a friend if you are kind to them and you don't harm them in the present moment. The past does not matter and the promises for the future does not matter. What matters is how you treat people and animals now. Treat everyone kindly and make everyone a friend.
- Karma - good karma and bad karma and how to improve your karma (Monday, 5th May 2025)
Karmically, life picks on you when you harm any living being namely, humans and animals. Life creates mean characters to bully you that no one can see and who no one except you can hear. Whatever you do, don't kill or harm in any way a human or animal otherwise you will hear the negative cruel torturous voices of people you know created by life bullying you. You will feel invisible people trying to harm you too. You will have nightmares when you go to sleep. You will see humans and animals fizzle in and out of existence. You will feel sick. You will look ugly and people will be cold to you because of how awful you look. People will treat you unfairly and bully you in real life too. This is one of the realms of hell in Buddhism. To move karmically away from hell, do kind deeds. The more kind deeds you do, the more you are rewarded karmically by nice things happening to you. You will see a more beautiful world, your face and body will look more beautiful; you will feel more motivated to get up in the morning and to do kind deeds during the day, and you will have more to be grateful for e.g. having good possessions and having more people being nice to you. Say, you find you are limited by the kind deeds that you can do. For example, you have been stopped from feeding the pigeons, or you are locked up against your will or you can't get a paid job or voluntary job and all you want to do are kind deeds. Then think of how to be kind to anyone you see in your room or anywhere you go. The kinder you are to these people, the greater the improvement in karma for you. If you have killed someone, you are in hell on earth and after death you are reincarnated to live in hell maybe forever if you don't do enough kind deeds to get out of hell by being kind, loving, generous and wise instead of ignorant, hateful and greedy. Since humans and animals are all people, you have to be kind by showing loving-kindness to all living beings. Every time you are a Buddhist, you don't harm anyone or kill anyone. You are always kind when you are a Buddhist. Always think of nice kind people such as saints and Buddhas and you will be kind. This helps a lot when you are feeling angry. Anger leads to killing or killer thoughts so whenever you are angry with someone or some people, change your feelings to loving-kindness and think, 'I am a Buddhist' and you will instantly become nicer and lose your anger. Also read some blog posts in My Kind Deeds Blog for inspiration on how to be kind instead of angry. Animals are like human beings. Be kind to them and they love it.

I made my bed. I brushed my teeth. I washed my face. I put on deodorant. I emptied the bins in the rooms into the kitchen bin. I had breakfast. I washed the dishes after breakfast. I bought some snacks and lunch. I had lunch. I emptied the recycling bin into the main recycling bin outside. I watered the flowers in the back garden and front garden. I cleaned the bathroom. I fed the pigeons today. I unblocked all my friends on WhatsApp. Friends are good. Anyone can be a friend. Reflecting on Buddha's Teachings Buddha taught us not to seek revenge on someone who has harmed us but to forgive the person regardless of how many times they have harmed us in the past. We must not deal out negative karma because karmic reactions are controlled by the universe rewarding or punishing us for the actions we did in the past not by us humans revenging past actions or rewarding past actions of others. So we just need to concentrate on being kind not on vengeance and punishment. For example, a positive karmic reaction to a good action in the past would be to be beautiful in the future, to attract a good job, to attract friendly friends, to attract a nice house to live in, to live in a nice attractive tidy comfortable house, to be healthy and to have fun enjoyable past times. The universe rewards us for good actions and the universe punishes us for bad actions.

Today, feed the birds in any park in the world. The birds love porridge oats, corn, vegan food such as vegan cooked jollof rice, vegan cakes and vegan pastries, bread and vegan crisps. Bring your vegan food for the birds. They will love it! This is a kind deed that is 100% kind and the volunteer doesn't expect anything back. The birds need food daily so try to feed the birds daily if you can or whenever you can feed them. Make today a vegan day When you feed the pigeons, you help the pigeons live for free which is very kind to the pigeons and you are very kind too. You make life worth living when you are kind. Bee kind and don't charge for any kind action you do.

Reflections on Buddha's teachings The three poisons of Buddhism are ignorance, greed and hate. Ignorance is being delusional which is having a lack of knowledge or information and not understanding reality. Nothing lasts forever so an example of ignorance is expecting possessions, people, self and jobs to last forever and being disappointed when they don't last when nothing lasts forever. Another example of ignorance is assuming the worse storyline of what you believe happened in the past without any evidence. The cure to ignorance is wisdom. Wisdom is an intense awareness of reality. Wisdom is knowing the truth definitely without any doubt. So making assumptions about anything is not wise. Wisdom is understanding the true nature of reality, which includes the impermanence of all things and the absence of a permanent self. Greed is desire and attachment. Greed is having a craving or holding on to things, people and experiences or wanting more than you have instead of being satisfied with what you already have. Greed is a selfish intense desire for a thing such as wealth, power and food. The cure to greed is generosity. This is the action of giving and letting go of desire for/attachment to things, people and experiences. Hate is anger, resentment and aversion (a strong dislike) towards others or situations. This cure to hate is loving-kindness. Loving-kindness is practising compassion, empathy, tenderness, consideration and goodwill towards all beings. Bee kind and loving to others and thus unselfishly wish them happiness and you won't feel angry with them. So in a nutshell, Buddhism teaches us to not hold unto desires, be kind and loving and give generously to others. Nothing lasts forever so be kind and loving, generous and wise every day.
