The Buddha also teaches that once we become rich, we must actively give back to help the poor. Wherever there are people in need, we give our help. Giving seems to benefit others, but in fact, it is like farmers sowing seeds in a field, which will lead to harvests. Our contributions are seeds sown into the field of merits and virtues. If we want to have peacefulness, comfort and wealth, we must give.

They are that important! Since everyone here has vowed to receive the precepts, you have received limitless blessings and merits.
