How can we make good use of our body to cultivate more blessings and wisdom?
Humans, the most superior of all creatures, are born with a pair of hands and a pair of feet. Make good use of your body to help others. For example, use your pair of agile hands to do more good deeds, use your pair of nimble feet to run more errands for others, and use your mouth to say kind words in praise of others. By such actions, you will make others feel at ease and happy. That’s real intelligence! Then you will have blessings and wisdom.

A single cause requires the help of many conditions in order for its effects to come to fruition. When the time comes and all the necessary conditions are present, there will certainly be an effect. What kind of effect? It depends entirely on the wholesome and unwholesome causes that we create, which yield the effects of suffering and happiness. If the time has yet to come, there might not be an effect.

Why do some people suffer from poverty?
Their poverty results from not practicing giving in previous lives. In order to turn poverty into happiness, peacefulness, and blessings, we must give despite being poor. Otherwise, we will be even more impoverished in our next life. The rich practiced the act of giving in their previous lives; however, if they do not continue, there will be no blessings for them in their next life. So, both the rich and the poor must practice giving.
