Human beings are like trees, always trying to grow delicious fruit. It looks very rich, but if you don’t share these riches, strong winds may blow the fruits off the tree, and even the tree itself can fall.

Thus, we should share out our merits, riches and happiness with others, truly practicing  offering and giving. In this way, the existence of the human tree becomes meaningful. This is the real value of life.
~Sangpo Rinpoche
