It is important for us to give back to the community and help those who are in need. By assisting to provide food, clothing, shelter and preserving the environment, we are providing the basic necessities of life.

3. Why do people need to meditate?
Physical exercise is essential to keep ourselves physically fit. So also we have to meditate to refresh and recharge ourselves. We can live without meditation but our ability to empathize becomes weaker and, as a result, we become more mechanical, self-centred and selfish. Without meditation you will never know how deep and special you truly are.
