One man came to Buddha and he said, “I accept your teaching, but only one thing is very difficult to accept. You say that whenever we do prayer we are not to think about ourselves. We have to say, ‘Whatsoever may be the result of my prayer, let that result be distributed to all. If blessing happens, let it distributed to all.’”
The man said, “This is okay, but can I make only one exception? Not to my immediate neighbour – he is my enemy. Let this blessing be distributed to all except to my immediate neighbour.”
The mind is self-centered, so Buddha said, “Your prayer is useless. Nothing will come out of it unless you are ready to give all, to distribute all, and then all will be yours.”
