Buddhist Story: The Candlelight Game. The teacher gave each a candle. He lit his own first and let a student near him get a flame. Then they lit others'. It spread: one to two, two to four... Soon, over 200 children's candles were lit. The teacher said, "A single candle's light is weak but can light many. We learn from Buddhist scriptures, like getting a lit candle from Buddha. We should share with others to light their candles. Then no one will be in the dark or lost." Words of Wisdom: Don't underestimate one's power. After lighting our own candles, we should light others' and pass on love like candlelight to make the world better.
