Stories of Kindness from Around the World

From the Hand of a Child


--by JyotiB, posted Dec 13, 2014
A child walked around the temple with a gardenia flower, bringing it to the nose of each devotee so each could  enjoy the fragrance of it. It was a simple and beautiful experience.

I brought a flower home and have it on my kitchen counter. All day, as I walk past it, I reconnected with that lovely feeling of sitting in the temple and having the surprise gift brought to me so beautifully.
Thank the earth and the flower and the child for making this possible.
