Dalai Lama Foundation Study Circle Montreal

When I arrived at the airport, I went to get some breakfast. After getting breakfast, I slipped on some water on the floor and the food spilled all over. I was embarrassed, but also feeling down because of the situation with my mom. I felt all eyes in my direction. I just wanted to disappear.

I then went to sit in a different part of the airport. Sitting there, I began to cry silently. Shortly after, a man came toward me and said that he wanted to buy me breakfast. I said it was not necessary, but he insisted. He came back with a tray of warm food and a drink and a big smile.

I thanked him for his kindness. My thanks to him was in the form of a prayer for him and his famliy. That morning breakfast gave me not only physical strength, but moral strength as well. I just felt so loved by a God who sees all things.

I wanted to do the same for another human being. I will never forget that morning at the airport.
