Question

Many people asked me how I started Pajama (睡衣) Program, but in fact, it seemed that Pajama Program came to me. I never planned to start it. In the beginning, I just wanted to find my purpose (意義) in life.

I visited a children’s home. I read to them in the evening once a week. One night I watched them go to sleep. There was no changing clothes, no bedtime stories, no hugs from parents. Bedtime should not be like that. I decided to send some pajamas to the children’s home. I couldn’t change the children’s life, but I could give them warm, clean pajamas to sleep in.

The next week I took some pajamas to the children’s home. One little girl didn’t take the pajamas from me. She asked me quietly, “What are these?”

“They’re pajamas,” I said.

“When do I wear them?”

“When you go to bed at night.”

She still didn’t understand.

“What do you usually wear to bed?” I asked her.

“My pants,” she said.

I felt sad. A few weeks later, it seemed that a “raindrop” fell onto my head and the words PAJAMA PROGRAM spoke to me loud. Then I started to tell everyone to give me new pajamas for my birthday, Christmas ..., and I gave them to children in need. And then I found my purpose in life.
