Community participation

Our neighborhood is part of a larger district which was having its annual free market day. 80 locations put free items out for others to browse through, and take what they want. Hatha Yoga Center joined by contributing unwanted cat food which was all removed by the end of the day.

When I was at the Kripalu Ashram’s spiritual lifestyle training years ago I learned of the yogic practice of varagya, which means detachment. Discarded clothing and personal items were available in a special spot in the basement for others to make use of freely. The community participated and bonded through sharing instead of attaching to stuff.

How do you participate in your communities? What might you have that is no longer is useful for you that others might appreciate? Ki to Happiness detaches from stuff and bonds with others through community participation.
