We need to associate those who can point out our delusions on a regular basis. Such friends could help us to assess what we do and show our weaknesses
People like to have power because those who have power can control others. When those who would like to have power do not get power, they get discontent

There was news critical of the temple. There were claims that the temple had shot a laser beam towards the sun. Hearing this claim made me laugh. It was impossible. If the temple had been able to do this, why did they not enable me to view it? I was at the event but I did not see anything.
My brother in law had kidney failure, but he did not want to have treatment because he wanted to save money to make donations for the kathin ceremony at the hometown temple. He said that my sister wanted to make a donation for this kathin ceremony but she died before she could do it. He was afraid that when he wanted to make a donation, he would also die before having the opportunity. Why is it so difficult to make this merit? "You can see that we have to make merit quickly. We should not wait."
