Virtue of resolutions

As we make merit, we must also make resolutions. Make a resolution for us to be in the company of Buddhist monks in every lifetime and to not commit any bad actions. Making resolutions is part of the Ten Perfections. The Ten Perfections consist of Generosity, Morality, Renunciation, Wisdom, Patience, Perseverance, Truthfulness, Resolution, Loving-kindness, and Equanimity. Each time we make a resolution we gain merit. I already made a "profit" spiritually for being born in this life.
