Being thus at peace I shall experience a blissful feeling of content; and in that bliss my heart will be at rest.

According to the Gospel of Buddha, the disciple Visākhā explains to the Buddha why she loves to provide for the monks’ needs: knowing that her gift has supported someone gives rise in her to joy, then peace, then rest of heart. Today, think back to some help you gave that bore fruit, savour the quiet joy it awakens, then offer a new, very simple help.
