Restoring Faith

While riding back home, a little boy was seen cringing on the side of the bicycle lane for he fell down on the ground. The man immediately halted and came to the rescue. Asking the young lad whether he was fine, he picked the child up as well as the bike, to see whether it had some damages. The bike was fine. Fortunately, it was a slight fall but probably scared the boy of around nine years of age thus the crying. The man asked whether he could accompany the boy towards home but the young child declined, acknowledged the man with thanks and rode his bike home.

There was an overwhelming feeling in the heart of the man as he proceeded home. And as he rode his motorbike, tears swelled in his eyes as he remembered some months ago when he met an accident along the road.

It was the same scenario, falling down on hard ground and feeling helpless. His arms were bloody and both hands were hurt.  Since there was no one to help him, he stood with all his strength and picked the bike up.  Then, he started picking the rest of his groceries that were scattered all over the road.  There were people around but none of them helped.  They probably gave a glimpse and dismissed the scenario.

The tears from the man's eyes were that of pity towards those who were oblivious to help others.  The man lost not his faith to humanity and continued to implore kindness and goodness in his heart. For he knew that the riches of heaven is more glorious in return for his good deeds.

That man continues to help a number of people with their struggles and woes.  Though misunderstood in all levels and branded as boorish for his actions most of the time, he knows in his heart that his deeds are without malice.

In Buddhism, it is a belief that if a person can make a reverberating sound
 by rubbing a gong clockwise or counter clockwise is blessed with good karma.
