The Power and Joy of Volunteering


“If we were to give millions of dollars to others they would receive only temporary benefits, but by offering them the opportunity for spiritual development we are providing them with a real method for solving their daily problems and gaining true, everlasting happiness.” -Geshe Kelsang Gyatso-
