Wealth is a state of mind. A truly prosperous person not only knows how to accumulate wealth, but also how to share and give back to society. When a person shares his time and wealth to benefit others, he enjoys the satisfaction arising from having made a difference in others' life, more wealth will also come to him.

Wassakara ; Dear Lord Buddha, this is my view about speaking..
It is ok to say something one saw.
It is ok to say something one heard.
It is ok to say something one smelled.
It is ok to say something one touched.
It is ok to say something one tasted.
It is ok to say something one imagined.
Lord Buddha ; Dear Wassakara, I don’t say one should or should not, say all he saw, heard, smelled, touched, tasted or imagined.
What I say is when someone says something he sensed, it should be something that promotes skillful and good deeds.
If something promotes unskillful and bad deeds it should not be said. -

～ 廣欽�和尚（���極推動念佛法門的著�僧侶），《廣欽�和尚開示法語錄》。
（At dusk, we recite the following stanza:） "The day is drawing to an end and our lives are cutting short accordingly. Just like the fishes in a drying pond, how much joy can there be?" Indeed, we do not realize that our lives are drawing closer to an end each day, just like the fishes in a drying pond that are still swimming happily, not realizing their imminent extinction. We just live one day after another, do not know where we are going after we die. Therefore, we should constantly remind ourselves not to lessen our vigilance. Practice diligently so that we can be reborn in the Pure Land.

æ‰€ä»¥éƒ½æ˜¯æ— è‡ªæ€§çš„ã€�空的。
All phenomenon are dependent arising,
Therefore they are selflessness and empty. -

Just as the tree changes with seasons, we must embrace changes in life.
