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.

Every family has its own difficulties. Don’t try to tend to them, or solve them, for you can’t resolve the issues even if you do. You might even make it worse! Just keep your thoughts and ideas to yourself. Chant Amitabha Buddha and chant Guan Yin Bodhisattva to untie all these knots. How great!
