SPREADING POSITIVE WORDS OR ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO PERFORM GOOD DEEDS ARE ALL WAYS TO HELP OTHERS

Question: If we often quote Master’s positive words in our conversations with friends, without the specific mention of Buddhism or making others aware of, would this considered a way to help others to awaken spiritually?

Answer: Of course, even if you ask him to perform some kind deeds, it’s also called helping others.  Perform good deeds and do no evil.  

Question: Is this also an act of Dharma Dana (i.e. sharing of the Buddha’s teachings)?

Answer: Certainly, as you are being kind to others.  (Thank you Master for your advice.)
