This is an inspiring piece that appeals to the root of our nature as humans. It is stories like these that call people to stop and reflect about their own priorities. The narrative was easy to understand amid the technical details of kidney disease and transplant. Also, as a follower of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, I feel the Buddhist ideas were expressed well. Many times western depictions of Buddhist beliefs conjure images of mystics or shamans, but I think this piece would be received well by a general audience.
