Make friends by doing Dana

I am a Chinese Malaysian studying in China for the past one and a half years. This is my first time to study abroad and I got many opportunities to meet friends from different background. Sometimes, chatting is not the only way to build a friendship as we may concern about different topics. I found out that doing Dana is a useful way. Dana included helping people financially or physically, sharing knowledge/skills and showing our sympathy. Doing dana not only can make merits, but also make ourselves to be more thoughtful, helpful and caring, and the more important thing is, we manage to help people! Both of us will be happy. Sometimes we may earn new skills by helping people.I win some friendships by doing Dana and it also helps me to get use to new environment more quickly. 🙂
