As do i. A gift is always worth more than something that has to be =
bought.
The problem is that many people these days see only money as the true =
value of everything. This is sad, very sad.
We can change the world to make a better place through our music, but =
only if we are going to get away from the capitalist consumerist culture =
that pervades everything.
The Komuso played their flutes freely. People accepted that gift and =
gave alms freely according to their own abilities. The Komuso accepted =
the gift and continued to give more.
Maybe we can learn something here.
