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.

They believe in and practice what the Buddha teaches. Even though they are still unclear about some principles, they practice them with confidence and conviction. Between these two types of people, we should learn from the ones with virtuous roots and follow their example.
