Once you make that connection through practicing Buddhism and chanting the name of the Buddha and Guan Yin Bodhisattva, you will experience Dharma Joy—something to which the secular sensual pleasures cannot compare. Even just one moment of this bliss will make you realize how tainted these "pleasures" from the mundane world are. But would you want to experience such pleasures? The choice is yours!

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.

Being wealthy is the fruition; giving is the cause. If you don’t practice giving, how can you become wealthy? To practice giving doesn’t mean you have to give away one million or ten million; you can start by giving, say, a dollar. The great blessing of wealth comes from the accumulation of giving tiny amounts bit by bit, just like the water in the ocean is sourced from numerous rivers and streams.

“The foundation of greatness is having gentleness on the surface and fortitude within.” When dealing with people or situations, your outward demeanor must be gentle, kind and friendly, but your inner spirit must be strong-willed and resilient.
“A tranquil mind and a hardworking body are essential for longevity.” Therefore, you must maintain a peaceful mind and an active body. An idle body leads to poor health.

When you build a Recitation Hall, other people can come to practice, accumulate virtues, and end the cycle of birth and death. By planting this virtuous cause, you will easily succeed in your practice in the future. Without this virtuous cause, your practice will be difficult.
