When you think of death, ae worldly fame and wealth still worth coveting? Because anything in the secular world can change at any time, the Dharma teaches us to be mindful of impermanence. Give away the impermanent fame and wealth, and exchange them for transcendental merits and virtues. This is what it means to truly have blessings and wisdom.

Why do you fail to get what you pray for?

When conflicts with others arise, how do we solve them?
You should take a step back and avoid arguing. Even if you are right, try to be forgiving. React by exercising the magnanimity of Bodhisattvas and noble-minded people to end any fight or argument. This way, even if you are facing a most difficult situation, you can still resolve it.
