He was a truly a bodhisattva, working for the well-being of others. I feel more humble now concerning the ways of practicing generosity. The war created many thousands of orphans. Instead of raising money to build orphanages, we sought people in the West to sponsor a child. Whenever possible, we tried to place the child in the family of an aunt, an uncle, or a grandparent.
Children benefit from growing up in a family.
If we look for and learn ways to practice generosity, we will improve all the time. I am determined not to steal and not to possess anything that should belong to others. I will respect the property of others, but I will prevent others from profiting from human suffering or the suffering of other species on Earth. When you practice one precept deeply, you will discover that you are practicing all five. Therefore, the Second Precept has much to do with the precept of not killing.
