The parents’ actions will determine the fate of their future generations. Do you want your wealth and virtues to be passed down? Then pass down your family heritage via virtue and compassion instead of through wealth. With only wealth, your family won’t last beyond 3 generations. Even if it makes it to the third generation, there won’t be a future for them.
To ensure your family heritage lasts, pass it down via virtue. Because your future generations will learn to live with gratitude. Although they are wealthy, they will still live simple lives. That way they will have more room for growth. If they already have the best things for living, eating and daily use, there won’t be any room for growth. They’ll say, “Why do I need to work hard for more achievements? If I work for others, the bosses will criticize me if I make the slightest mistakes or even deduct my salary.”
I have met many rich kids who quit their jobs after 2 years or less. They are very smart, but they quit. They had entered a morbid state where they wouldn’t come out of their room. The son of a Hong Kong practitioner was doing well in a world-famous firm as a researcher. His family is super-rich; they own half a street. That is a lot from just collecting rent. That young man just stayed at home and wouldn’t come out.
His mother went through so much struggle. She sought help from psychologists, sorcerers and feng shui masters. But all in vain. Nothing she tried moved the young man one bit. Her son wasn’t possessed either; he just didn’t want to come out. Why? Because of the karmic fire. They are so rich. Why should the kid work hard? The young man was a team leader at his firm. After receiving minor criticism from the boss, he got angry and quit. Ever since that incident, he had stayed at home doing nothing.
His mom tried to find him a girlfriend a couple years later. The son said, “OK, sounds good.” Since they were so rich, she brought 38 girls home for him to choose from. She said, “Son, pick the one you like.” Wow, my goodness! His mom couldn’t find a solution despite being so rich. So she came to me. “Master, what’s wrong with my son?” I said, “He’s cursed by the wealth.” His mom didn’t understand: “You mean the god of wealth is evil?”
I said, “The god of wealth can be wicked too, especially when it’s a wicked family. Being rich will ruin the whole family.” But if you are virtuous and decent, you will be able to bear the wealth. Otherwise, wealth can ruin your life anytime. Therefore, as parents, you must practice righteousness and compassion. Remember: right mind, right thoughts, right actions.
Especially for the ladies, please mind your words even when you are talking to your family. Don’t curse, defame, attack, mock or belittle others. Do more chanting and praising, and show more encouragement, care and
dedication. Don’t just do this to strangers; treat your family the same way. Only then will your family be in harmony. Harmony is a manifestation of compassion.
Harmonious behaviors create a harmonious environment. The compassionate deities will bless you. Your family will have good feng shui and great prosperity. You need to respect and protect this wealth. With this blessing, you will gain wisdom, and you will be able to pass on the prosperity, compassion and virtue to your future generations. You need to put great effort into it.
So your actions, environment, wealth, and even your family members should all be matching. The wealthier you are, the more you should mind your ethics and behaviors. Virtues need to be put into action. A person who possesses true virtues will have a very good display of actions. So please pay attention. More compliments and harmony will bring your family the sunshine of compassion every day.
