Week 7 Day 2; Buddhism; Sonadanda 6

"Truly, Sirs, the Samana Gotama bids all men welcome, is congenial, conciliatory, not supercilious, accessible to all, not backward in conversation--" (Sonadanda 6, from the Digha Nikaya of Buddhism).
The Brahmin Priest, Sonadanda, describes how the Buddha is kind in greeting all people, and argues that this is a reason why the Buddha should be approached for conversation. How do you greet the people that you encounter throughout your day (even the strangers)?
Love And Peace.
