PROCEDURE:
- Remind the kids what an enriching action is. You can refer to the inference written below to explain what actions are most enriching. Tell each kid to trace 7 boxes on their paper
- Tell them to write one day of the week for each one
- Show the kids how to fold the colourful papers to create little enveloppes (create 7 in total/ 1 for each day of the week)
- Glue or stick the back of the envelopes on the poster (1 for each day) Tell the kids to cut little pieces of paper (7 total) and to write enriching actions that can be done in day-to-day life.
- Tell them to show you what is written one by one without showing other students.
PROCEDURE:
- Ask them to place their papers in each other's envelopes without showing what is written.
- Tell the kids that each day, they will take out the papers placed in their envelope and do their best to complete the enriching activity written on it.
- When they are successful, they can put a sticker next to that day.
INFERENCE:
- One more point is that the person who gives loses nothing with jñānadāna. With all other dāna, the person who gives has a little less. In annadāna, he who gives will lose and he who receives will gain. In vidyādāna, the giver does not lose. He retains the same level. In jñānadāna, I tell you a secret, the more you share, the more it grows in you! The more you enrich others with the science of completion, the more you grow in completion. It is a win-win situation. Here, you receive automatically. It grows in the person who shares and enriches.
