Holy Help
Offering a meal to a monk is a noble act of generosity. Support a monk’s daily sustenance with your kind donation. Remember, feeding a monk is like fuelling a life of wisdom and compassion. So contribute a one-time meal for a monk today; it’s a sacred offering.
Our holy books have taught us to give alms. We know that the greatest of all donations is food donation, which is why many people do it. But the greatest pious deed, even more than giving food, is to find selfless monks, or Bhikshamdehis, and serve and help them.
The sages say that the greatest act of charity is to help a true ascetic; those who perform such acts will undoubtedly get many auspicious experiences in life. In the past, there were pious souls, the sons of Dharma, to support and protect the monks. As time passed, changes also occurred in that old Sanatana system. But today, no one cares about our helpless monks. As a result of that, our monks are facing many difficulties, like hunger, disease, isolation, etc.
Experience has shown that if we are able to support a true monk who is on the spiritual path and provide them with the necessary assistance, the merit we receive will double. If we are willing to set aside a small portion of the money that is unnecessarily wasted on luxuries and intoxicants to support and help the monks, it will result in many blessings.
