Inspired by the Foundation message a couple weeks ago, we posted an invitation on Thay&#8217;s Facebook page inviting the world to make a present of the heart &#8211; a promise that can be done in each of our lives everyday.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 30-hours, the &#8220;birthday&#8221; post has been seen by over 1.5 million people and has had over 69k shares, likes, or comments. In fact, the comment category is what I want to bring your attention to in particular. Even if you read only a handful of 4,312 comments, your heart will open wide with joy and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>The sincerity of each comment is definitely a present of the heart. And thought the gift is for Thay, it is truly a gift for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>No need to have Facebook to read these comments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/on.fb.me\/ZAjmzv\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/on.fb.me\/ZAjmzv<\/a><\/p>\n<div>May your day be well.<\/div>\n<div>Kenley<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear friends &#8211; The message below is from a Sangha brother in California &#8211; may the many messages he talks about strengthen our sense of community and our Sanghas.
