Repayment of Grace

The Buddha said, there is 4 types of Grace that we have to repay.

The Grace shown to us by:
1) Our Parents
2) Our Family & Friends
3) Our Teachers
4) Our Kings and Leaders[In modern Terms, our Government.]

...........

Master Ching Hai also reminds us to remember :

The Policeman,
who is petroling the streets while we sleep peacefully at night

The Soldiers,
Standing Guard in the borders to ensure National Security.

The Road builders,
whom pave our roads with sweat and hard labour.

The Street sweepers,
whose efforts keep our streets clean and Green. etc .... etc .... etc ...
[ One's heart would just melt when one recount the services of many ]

'You are born to this world because of the Grace of many beings.
Be grateful always .... And serve them with all your heart.'

.......

One way of service lays in useful work,
in harmonious relationship,
in goodwill, in prayers and meditation,
in poems & arts

And in leading
a Beautiful Life ..... :) :)
