It’s a foolish kind of blessing if you have the blessings but lack wisdom. It’s a dry kind of wisdom if you have the wisdom but lack the blessings. So you must cultivate both your blessings and wisdom equally and sufficiently. Your virtuous roots will blossom and bear fruit, and your wisdom and blessings will be fulfilled as you wish.

If a family does good deeds, the rewards will be felt in the generations to come. If the parents truly love their children, they should spend their money on donations or other good charitable deeds. This will save the children from adversities and allow them to gain blessings. This is truly benefiting the children, leaving them with the fortune of merits, which other people can never take away.

Those with wholesome roots, blessings, and virtues work hard at doing good deeds. Likewise, those burdened by negative karma are very diligent in unwholesome karmic activities. Otherwise, how would there be 18 divisions of hells?
