Charitable Giving, Keeping Precepts, and Developing Meditation

After making charitable donations, keeping precepts, and practicing meditation, we should see the results of these actions. Only then can we truly say that we have engaged in giving, adhered to precepts, and cultivated meditation.

Use the merit from your charitable deeds, precepts, and meditation diligently and avoid laziness.

Continuously practice charitable giving, keep precepts, and develop meditation, so that we may achieve happiness in this life and in future lives.
