This last Sunday Feast, I was standing at the book table when a very interested Girl came, I asked her if she wanted any books - she said she already had a Beyond Birth and Death and Chant and be happy, I asked her where she got them from and she said at a RESTAURANT - I said do you know which one? - GINGER at BLOOR AND BATHURST...she said she picked up the books and the temple card fell off from them, so she picked it and came to the temple.
She was so excited, and so was I, I asked her for her email, which she very happily gave. She told me she is readng the book and she loves it - she picked up 2 more spanish books and gave a very kind donation It was so magical, Tania (that's her name) could definitely see how excited everyone was, when they found out that she received a book from a smart box! She is so ready for learning more and definitely will be coming around again.
Smart boxes are a very labor intensive sankirtan technique which require extreme background hardwork of going around the city, putting these smart boxes, monitoring them, re-filling them, reporting updates and more...Over the last few months we've been distributing many books from these magical boxes, and so many people have been affected.
So next time you see a store, think of a smart box there, think of all the people who would see the books, think of the time when you will meet them at the temple, think of the time when they will be happy and grateful to whoever placed the books there - those books that have changed our lives and those books that will change theirs!
