In a chat with Guru early this morning, Offering to Sanghas was one of the 3 topics.
Recently Guru said in his Dharma speech about Sincerity in Offering as well.
I have received lots of invitation for meals from students as well as non-students of TBS.
Choice of Acceptance actually depends on Guru!
Some lack Sincerity, as they have motive in mind.
Mostly Consultation of Personal Matters for Self Enhancement only.
Like wanting the Merits from Offering to Sanghas, a component of the Triple Gem.
See the can drink in the third picture?
It was sincerely offered to me to quench thirst and cool down during fire puja session.
Also it's Isotonic which I preferred!
The care of me feeling warm and thirsty and an offering that I like or preferred.
That simple!
I am not entertaining any phone calls or text messages to my mobile since I am in retreat.
Therefore, if you are sincere in offering to Sangha, you can seek out others or email me at purekarmaservices@gmail.com
If Guru gives approval, I will gladly accept offering from you.
However, please be reasonable. Do not Equate value of offering to the rewards you are expecting, please.
Giving me say $10K and expect $100K in return, is Greed. Mindset that I don't encourage.
If you can fork out large amount of fund like these, I would advise you to donate to charity to benefit the needies or the less fortunate from your society, where ever you are residing.
Cheers all.
