"We should give as we would receive, cheerfully, quickly, and without hesitation; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks to the fingers." --Seneca
Returning a Favor
A Buddhist monk in Canada stunned his congregation by putting his temple up for sale, in a bid to raise half a million dollars for victims of the Asian tsunami tragedy. For the abbot, Thich Nguyen Thao, the pledge is an expression of gratitude to the people of Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia who provided them refuge when they fled Vietnam. "They housed and fed us. This is a small gesture to thank them," he said.

Think of a favor you received in your life; return the favor in double.
