Don?t neglect merit-making |
It is difficult to be born as a human being. Now that you are born a human
being, do not waste your opportunity to make merit. If you have a little,
then donate a little. If you have a lot, then donate more. Make a donation
according to your ability, but don?t allow yourself to get into trouble for overdoing
Whatever your financial situation is, don?t neglect the act of charity.
For me, I perform merits regardless of what happens. I may be illiterate, yet
I managed to build this temple, and I was able to preside at a major Kathina
Ceremony. The merit I have accumulated has allowed me to do extraordinary
things that are beyond an ordinary person?s ability. But with as much merit
as I have already made, I still want to do more. I want to participate in the
Kathina Ceremonies and all other meritorious activities. I want to acquire all
forms of merit, mundane and transcendental. |
