This is a very important post which will need careful attention. This is information that must be deeply appreciated and practiced continuously throughout life. So what is merit? Merit is karmic money you use to spend on CREATING YOUR DREAMS! It is like money in your Life account. Life means living. To have and make great MERIT means to be able to live the life you want. YOU NEED TONS of GREAT merit to succeed as a self cultivator and meditator. TONS! You MUST continue to make merit, because the fruits of your good deeds will finish just like money in your wallet will diminish SO YOU MUST KEEP making merit!!! ALWAYS!
How do you make merit? How can you fill your account so you CAN spend on CREATING your GREAT BENEVOLENT Dreams?
GIVING, OFFERING, Service! What kind of giving? Preparing Food for homeless people, donating money, coaching kids, being a mentor, OFERRING AWAY YOUR TROUBLES! Give away WITHIN YOUR means! That means give but REMEMBER you must have for YOURSELF in order to STAY ALIVE and KEEP on GIVING! This is wise giving! This is knowing when to start, and how much to give! This is using your wisdom, intuition, intelligence, or reason.
Saving a life is making merit. Giving wise advice is making MERIT. Sharing deep teachings like these is Making HUGE Merit.
Give give give. This is Charity. This is generosity. There can only be success on this PATH of Self-cultivation, Survival and Prosperity WHEN there is MERIT, GREAT TONS of it!
You must combine Meditation, along with Merit, and study! Study the 5 learnings I wrote about in my other posts! Make Merit, Meditate, and Study!!!!
Merit is like Meditation in action! It is your LIFE! It is offering WISELY within your means!
Life changes when you begin to add MERIT to your Life account!
Donate to charities which have a huge impact in the world.
One such Charity I have personally given to is HAITIWATER.ORG.
The greater the impact on the world the MORE your MERIT Increases. Give in small and LARGE WAYS!
The greatest giving supports teachings like these!! Supporting TEACHINGS that enrich and awaken is the TOP way to make MERIT. Supporting through Donations, giving testimonials, practicing, and appreciating these teachings BY GIVING Back and MAKING the TEACHINGS available to YOU!
You will always NEED to give!
And SMILE! Pictures and statues of Meditators ALWAYS have a slight smile on their FACES! You need to smile. Smile with everything! Smile with your organs, skin, nails, hair, teeth, ears, bones, and HEART! Inner AND Outer smile! Relax your face and let GO!
An important lesson to LEARN and investigate is KNOWING HOW MUCH and WHEN in life, practice, and ALL THINGS! How much and when means knowing when to start and stop an action!
Merit is the expression of your MEDITATION and Study! Otherwise one is just hoarding BLISSFUL states of Meditation and Lacking in Great Benevolent ACTIONS!
Letting go, OFFERING, Charity, Generosity, and Wise Giving! Make GREAT merit to succeed at Surviving and Prospering! Merit is a MUST!
