I saw a spider crossing in front of my desk. First I calm down. Then, I approached the spider gently with a container. Then I took the spider out in the container and set it free.

Featured Good Karma Music Story from Miaoyin
This week’s story comes from Miaoyin in Melbourne, Australia. She and her kids go to the local Buddhist temple and volunteer when they have the time. “I have been taking my kids to a local Buddhist temple to do some volunteer work when time allows on the weekends. The kids are enjoying the friendly atmosphere and the people in the temple are very kind and helpful. I hope doing this can enlighten myself and the kids to learn more about the meaning of Buddhism and share love and kindness with others.” Share your own story with us at Good Karma Music and pick from one of our albums!

I listened more than I spoke in a meeting today because the person really needed to talk. I practiced kindness while listening and not evaluating them.

Featured Good Karma Music Story from Lily
This week’s featured story comes from Lily in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She shares how she helped her community change the school bus stop to a safer location: “This year, my sister was assigned a new bus stop, a patch of grass behind a curb. When it rained, her and other students sank into the grass and mud. To get there, one had to cross two streets, and parking was difficult.

This year, my sister was assigned a new bus stop, a patch of grass behind a curb. When it rained, her and other students sank into the grass and mud. To get there, the students and parents had to cross two streets and parking was difficult. My mom asked the bus driver if she could switch back to the former bus stop, a small park close by with sufficient parking. The bus driver refused, stating that the parents should “call the school” to have it formally assigned. After hearing my mom’s repeated frustration, I filled out the high school’s form for transportation issues multiple days in a row. I spent…

I once found a frog underneath my car near the wheel on a rainy day, so I let it be aside before driving the car, and it didn’t get hurt. After that, I would normally check the place near the wheels before driving, when I park for a long time, just to make sure there were no insects or animals under the car. By doing so, many insects have been saved since then. I feel this is a way to help me enhance my compassion, and it doesn’t bring much inconvenience to me.
