I offered a free car ride to a stranger. The stranger was stranded at the same car service center as me when he was informed that his car wouldn’t be ready the same day. The man was grateful and promised to pay it forward! His only option was to take the bus, which was challenging because of his age (he is 92) and the weather conditions were harsh (freezing rain).
I credit my action to the teachings of Black Lotus (here, ‘action’ is the operative word). Whether meditation or reading other people’s Raks to inspire my actions, Black Lotus has been reminding me to keep calm and be kind and compassionate.
Takeaway
The best reward for a Rak is when it is paid forward.
