Some time ago, the CEO of a major Korean company was involved in a legal fight against his siblings over the inheritance his father left behind. Since he had secretly taken possession of all the inheritance without the knowledge or consent of his siblings, he should have apologized to them when his wrongdoings were revealed. Instead, he caused a racket in court shouting, \u201cI won\u2019t give back a single penny. I will go to the constitutional court or even the supreme court to make sure of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From this incident, we can conclude, \u201cThere is no limit to greed. Money doesn\u2019t guarantee happiness.

We all depend on nature and benefit from the society that we live in.

If you keep this in mind and use your wealth for the common good, you will not only be able to put your assets in order before you pass away but also obtain good fortune.

You need to keep making donations for the poor, albeit a small amount. Instead of trying to donate a large amount of money out of greed for good fortune, you should donate steadily within your means. For example, if you have $10, you can spend $9 on your lunch and donate $1 for the poor. This is the way to accumulate good fortune. Instead of praying for the wellbeing of your children and grandchildren, you should keep doing good deeds. Then, you grandchildren will surely reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you leave an inheritance to your children, they are likely to fight over the money and end up becoming enemies. I\u2019ve been to many funerals, and I have witnessed that when the deceased has left a large inheritance, the remaining family members inevitably get into conflict. As soon as the parents pass away, disputes over the inheritance break out among the family members. However, if there is no inheritance, there is no conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you put your assets in order and give most of them away while you\u2019re alive, things will be tidy and simple after your death. Therefore, it\u2019s best for you to only keep the amount you need to live on in your old age and donate rest of the assets to good causes. Since you plan to donate your money anyway for the good of our society, you should not begrudge the taxes you pay when you have a high income. It won\u2019t make a difference whether you donate a lump sum at the end of your life or small amounts throughout your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all depend on nature and benefit from the society that we live in. Any wealth we have accumulated cannot be considered to be our own because it has been gained through the benefits we receive from members of society and nature. If you keep this in mind and use your wealth for the common good, you will not only be able to put your assets in order before you pass away but also obtain good fortune. Using his wealth, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, established a foundation with the goal of finding cures for fatal diseases such as AIDS. If you donate your assets to organizations that contribute positively to the advancement of society, the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate your entire life will be used for beneficial and worthy purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some time ago, the CEO of a major Korean company was involved in a legal fight against his siblings over the inheritance his father left behind. Since he had secretly taken possession of all the inheritance without the knowledge or consent of his siblings, he should have apologized to them when his wrongdoings were revealed. Instead, he caused a racket in court shouting, \u201cI won\u2019t give back a single penny. I will go to the constitutional court or even the supreme court to make sure of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From this incident, we can conclude, \u201cThere is no limit to greed. Money doesn\u2019t guarantee happiness. Money can\u2019t solve our problems.\u201d We can also see how inheritance can drive siblings apart.

P:<\/strong> Older people are expected to be more open hearted and generous. When young people are frugal and try to save money, they are looked upon with approval. However, when older people try to hold on to their possessions or money, they are frowned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf someone likes your clothes, you should give them away. You won\u2019t be able to take anything with you when you die. After you pass away, even your kids won\u2019t take your clothes. Unless you\u2019re someone famous and your clothes are worthy of exhibiting in a museum, they will be burned. Therefore, when you give your things away, they are only considered to be gifts when you are alive. People will refuse to take a dead person\u2019s clothes because many think that they are possessed. Thus, giving away your things long before you die will help you let go of your strong attachment to them and also will bring you good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you give your wealth to those in need, it becomes a charitable act. Giving food to the hungry and caring for the sick bring good fortune to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As people age, they often wish the best for their children and grandchildren rather than themselves. If you wish for the well-being of your descendants, you must do good deeds. You need to keep making donations for the poor, albeit a small amount. Instead of trying to donate a large amount of money out of greed for good fortune, you should donate steadily within your means. For example, if you have $10, you can spend $9 on your lunch and donate $1 for the poor. This is the way to accumulate good fortune. Instead of praying for the wellbeing of your children and grandchildren, you should keep doing good deeds. Then, you grandchildren will surely reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you leave an inheritance to your children, they are likely to fight over the money and end up becoming enemies.

If you put your assets in order and give most of them away while you\u2019re alive, things will be tidy and simple after your death. Therefore, it\u2019s best for you to only keep the amount you need to live on in your old age and donate rest of the assets to good causes. Since you plan to donate your money anyway for the good of our society, you should not begrudge the taxes you pay when you have a high income. It won\u2019t make a difference whether you donate a lump sum at the end of your life or small amounts throughout your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all depend on nature and benefit from the society that we live in. Any wealth we have accumulated cannot be considered to be our own because it has been gained through the benefits we receive from members of society and nature. If you keep this in mind and use your wealth for the common good, you will not only be able to put your assets in order before you pass away but also obtain good fortune. Using his wealth, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, established a foundation with the goal of finding cures for fatal diseases such as AIDS. If you donate your assets to organizations that contribute positively to the advancement of society, the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate your entire life will be used for beneficial and worthy purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some time ago, the CEO of a major Korean company was involved in a legal fight against his siblings over the inheritance his father left behind.

\nI was once tortured in the past. If I had taken it negatively, it would have become the worst trauma in my life, and I would have had deep animosity towards the people who tortured me. However, because I was able to take it as an experience, it became an opportunity for me to become enlightened. Most people are hurt by the bad experiences they have in their lives. Because they hold on to their hurt feelings, they cannot be free of suffering. It is important to accept any experiences we have had as life lessons that will enhance our lives. People who can do this will become stronger the more difficulties they experience and will become more capable of overcoming adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was once tortured in the past. If I had taken it negatively, it would have become the worst trauma in my life, and I would have had deep animosity towards the people who tortured me. However, because I was able to take it as an experience, it became an opportunity for me to become enlightened. Most people are hurt by the bad experiences they have in their lives.

P:<\/strong> Older people are expected to be more open hearted and generous. When young people are frugal and try to save money, they are looked upon with approval. However, when older people try to hold on to their possessions or money, they are frowned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf someone likes your clothes, you should give them away. You won\u2019t be able to take anything with you when you die. After you pass away, even your kids won\u2019t take your clothes. Unless you\u2019re someone famous and your clothes are worthy of exhibiting in a museum, they will be burned. Therefore, when you give your things away, they are only considered to be gifts when you are alive. People will refuse to take a dead person\u2019s clothes because many think that they are possessed. Thus, giving away your things long before you die will help you let go of your strong attachment to them and also will bring you good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you give your wealth to those in need, it becomes a charitable act. Giving food to the hungry and caring for the sick bring good fortune to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As people age, they often wish the best for their children and grandchildren rather than themselves. If you wish for the well-being of your descendants, you must do good deeds. You need to keep making donations for the poor, albeit a small amount. Instead of trying to donate a large amount of money out of greed for good fortune, you should donate steadily within your means. For example, if you have $10, you can spend $9 on your lunch and donate $1 for the poor. This is the way to accumulate good fortune. Instead of praying for the wellbeing of your children and grandchildren, you should keep doing good deeds. Then, you grandchildren will surely reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you leave an inheritance to your children, they are likely to fight over the money and end up becoming enemies. I\u2019ve been to many funerals, and I have witnessed that when the deceased has left a large inheritance, the remaining family members inevitably get into conflict. As soon as the parents pass away, disputes over the inheritance break out among the family members. However, if there is no inheritance, there is no conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you put your assets in order and give most of them away while you\u2019re alive, things will be tidy and simple after your death. Therefore, it\u2019s best for you to only keep the amount you need to live on in your old age and donate rest of the assets to good causes. Since you plan to donate your money anyway for the good of our society, you should not begrudge the taxes you pay when you have a high income.

We all depend on nature and benefit from the society that we live in.

P:<\/strong> Older people are expected to be more open hearted and generous. When young people are frugal and try to save money, they are looked upon with approval. However, when older people try to hold on to their possessions or money, they are frowned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf someone likes your clothes, you should give them away. You won\u2019t be able to take anything with you when you die. After you pass away, even your kids won\u2019t take your clothes. Unless you\u2019re someone famous and your clothes are worthy of exhibiting in a museum, they will be burned. Therefore, when you give your things away, they are only considered to be gifts when you are alive. People will refuse to take a dead person\u2019s clothes because many think that they are possessed. Thus, giving away your things long before you die will help you let go of your strong attachment to them and also will bring you good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you give your wealth to those in need, it becomes a charitable act. Giving food to the hungry and caring for the sick bring good fortune to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As people age, they often wish the best for their children and grandchildren rather than themselves. If you wish for the well-being of your descendants, you must do good deeds. You need to keep making donations for the poor, albeit a small amount. Instead of trying to donate a large amount of money out of greed for good fortune, you should donate steadily within your means. For example, if you have $10, you can spend $9 on your lunch and donate $1 for the poor. This is the way to accumulate good fortune. Instead of praying for the wellbeing of your children and grandchildren, you should keep doing good deeds. Then, you grandchildren will surely reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you leave an inheritance to your children, they are likely to fight over the money and end up becoming enemies. I\u2019ve been to many funerals, and I have witnessed that when the deceased has left a large inheritance, the remaining family members inevitably get into conflict. As soon as the parents pass away, disputes over the inheritance break out among the family members. However, if there is no inheritance, there is no conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you put your assets in order and give most of them away while you\u2019re alive, things will be tidy and simple after your death. Therefore, it\u2019s best for you to only keep the amount you need to live on in your old age and donate rest of the assets to good causes. Since you plan to donate your money anyway for the good of our society, you should not begrudge the taxes you pay when you have a high income. It won\u2019t make a difference whether you donate a lump sum at the end of your life or small amounts throughout your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all depend on nature and benefit from the society that we live in. Any wealth we have accumulated cannot be considered to be our own because it has been gained through the benefits we receive from members of society and nature. If you keep this in mind and use your wealth for the common good, you will not only be able to put your assets in order before you pass away but also obtain good fortune. Using his wealth, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, established a foundation with the goal of finding cures for fatal diseases such as AIDS. If you donate your assets to organizations that contribute positively to the advancement of society, the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate your entire life will be used for beneficial and worthy purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some time ago, the CEO of a major Korean company was involved in a legal fight against his siblings over the inheritance his father left behind. Since he had secretly taken possession of all the inheritance without the knowledge or consent of his siblings, he should have apologized to them when his wrongdoings were revealed. Instead, he caused a racket in court shouting, \u201cI won\u2019t give back a single penny. I will go to the constitutional court or even the supreme court to make sure of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From this incident, we can conclude, \u201cThere is no limit to greed. Money doesn\u2019t guarantee happiness. Money can\u2019t solve our problems.\u201d We can also see how inheritance can drive siblings apart. Therefore, it\u2019s best to think about and decide while you\u2019re still alive whether you will give your wealth away as a gift to others or leave it as a source of trouble for your children.<\/p>\n","post_title":"It Is A Gift Only When You Give It Away While You Are Still Alive","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"it-is-a-gift-only-when-you-give-it-away-while-you-are-still-alive","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-12-27 23:15:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-12-28 04:15:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=17868","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_37"};
\nIt is actually not such a big deal if she thinks, \u201cI could have died or fractured my leg in the car accident, but I was very lucky to only have my car rear-ended. All I had to deal with were a few dents on my car.\u201d If she can view the situation this way, the accident is not such a big deal. That is why I say it\u2019s not a problem. It is possible that the mother and her younger son could also have died like her oldest son, but they didn\u2019t. The younger son just broke his leg, and the mother was in a car accident but was not hurt. Since things could have been much worse, the mother should actually be thankful and live her life to the fullest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If someone walks by and trips her, she should be able to say calmly, \u201cI even made it through the loss of my son. There is nothing that I can\u2019t overcome.\u201d She has nothing to fear in life. Since she lived through the death of her son, she\u2019ll be able to live on even if she loses all her money and even if her house burns down. This is a big realization she could obtain through the death of her son, and it is actually a big gift her son left behind. If the mother continues to grieve deeply about the death of her son, it means that he has left suffering for his mother. However, if she gains wisdom from this experience, it means that her son has left behind a precious gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anytime she is confronted with difficulties in her life, she should try to think this way: \u201cI\u2019ve received a big gift from my son. In the past, I would have been miserable and frantic if something like this had happened to me. However, after losing my son, I have realized that a difficulty like this isn\u2019t such a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things that happen to us are neither good nor bad. They just happen. If we perceive them positively, they become good things, and if we perceive them negatively, they become bad things. We are the ones who decide whether what we experience is good or bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, when we fail in something, that is neither good nor bad. Whether we fail in a relationship or in business, if we are traumatized by it, we will be afraid to enter into a relationship or begin a business in the future. The fear of failing again will be a handicap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was once tortured in the past. If I had taken it negatively, it would have become the worst trauma in my life, and I would have had deep animosity towards the people who tortured me. However, because I was able to take it as an experience, it became an opportunity for me to become enlightened. Most people are hurt by the bad experiences they have in their lives. Because they hold on to their hurt feelings, they cannot be free of suffering. It is important to accept any experiences we have had as life lessons that will enhance our lives. People who can do this will become stronger the more difficulties they experience and will become more capable of overcoming adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The loss of a child can be indescribably painful to parents. However, if they are able to be enlightened about life through this tragic experience, they will be able to live their lives more boldly than any other person. They may realize, \u201cWhat could be more devastating than losing our child?

However, because I was able to take it as an experience, it became an opportunity for me to become enlightened. Most people are hurt by the bad experiences they have in their lives. Because they hold on to their hurt feelings, they cannot be free of suffering. It is important to accept any experiences we have had as life lessons that will enhance our lives. People who can do this will become stronger the more difficulties they experience and will become more capable of overcoming adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The loss of a child can be indescribably painful to parents. However, if they are able to be enlightened about life through this tragic experience, they will be able to live their lives more boldly than any other person. They may realize, \u201cWhat could be more devastating than losing our child? Since we have lived through it, there won\u2019t be an adversity that we can\u2019t overcome.\u201d Whatever disasters occur in the world, they will be able to deal with them calmly even if others are devastated by them.<\/p>\n","post_title":"A Big Gift Her Son Left Behind","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"giving-alms-without-expectation-of-reward-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-02 14:46:15","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-02 19:46:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=18122","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":17868,"post_author":"40","post_date":"2024-02-27 11:11:00","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-27 16:11:00","post_content":"\n

P:<\/strong> Older people are expected to be more open hearted and generous. When young people are frugal and try to save money, they are looked upon with approval. However, when older people try to hold on to their possessions or money, they are frowned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf someone likes your clothes, you should give them away. You won\u2019t be able to take anything with you when you die. After you pass away, even your kids won\u2019t take your clothes. Unless you\u2019re someone famous and your clothes are worthy of exhibiting in a museum, they will be burned. Therefore, when you give your things away, they are only considered to be gifts when you are alive. People will refuse to take a dead person\u2019s clothes because many think that they are possessed. Thus, giving away your things long before you die will help you let go of your strong attachment to them and also will bring you good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you give your wealth to those in need, it becomes a charitable act. Giving food to the hungry and caring for the sick bring good fortune to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As people age, they often wish the best for their children and grandchildren rather than themselves. If you wish for the well-being of your descendants, you must do good deeds. You need to keep making donations for the poor, albeit a small amount. Instead of trying to donate a large amount of money out of greed for good fortune, you should donate steadily within your means. For example, if you have $10, you can spend $9 on your lunch and donate $1 for the poor. This is the way to accumulate good fortune. Instead of praying for the wellbeing of your children and grandchildren, you should keep doing good deeds. Then, you grandchildren will surely reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you leave an inheritance to your children, they are likely to fight over the money and end up becoming enemies. I\u2019ve been to many funerals, and I have witnessed that when the deceased has left a large inheritance, the remaining family members inevitably get into conflict. As soon as the parents pass away, disputes over the inheritance break out among the family members. However, if there is no inheritance, there is no conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you put your assets in order and give most of them away while you\u2019re alive, things will be tidy and simple after your death. Therefore, it\u2019s best for you to only keep the amount you need to live on in your old age and donate rest of the assets to good causes. Since you plan to donate your money anyway for the good of our society, you should not begrudge the taxes you pay when you have a high income. It won\u2019t make a difference whether you donate a lump sum at the end of your life or small amounts throughout your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all depend on nature and benefit from the society that we live in. Any wealth we have accumulated cannot be considered to be our own because it has been gained through the benefits we receive from members of society and nature. If you keep this in mind and use your wealth for the common good, you will not only be able to put your assets in order before you pass away but also obtain good fortune. Using his wealth, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, established a foundation with the goal of finding cures for fatal diseases such as AIDS. If you donate your assets to organizations that contribute positively to the advancement of society, the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate your entire life will be used for beneficial and worthy purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some time ago, the CEO of a major Korean company was involved in a legal fight against his siblings over the inheritance his father left behind. Since he had secretly taken possession of all the inheritance without the knowledge or consent of his siblings, he should have apologized to them when his wrongdoings were revealed. Instead, he caused a racket in court shouting, \u201cI won\u2019t give back a single penny. I will go to the constitutional court or even the supreme court to make sure of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From this incident, we can conclude, \u201cThere is no limit to greed. Money doesn\u2019t guarantee happiness. Money can\u2019t solve our problems.\u201d We can also see how inheritance can drive siblings apart. Therefore, it\u2019s best to think about and decide while you\u2019re still alive whether you will give your wealth away as a gift to others or leave it as a source of trouble for your children.<\/p>\n","post_title":"It Is A Gift Only When You Give It Away While You Are Still Alive","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"it-is-a-gift-only-when-you-give-it-away-while-you-are-still-alive","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-12-27 23:15:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-12-28 04:15:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=17868","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_37"};
\nIf the mother grieves too much for her son and doesn\u2019t let go of her attachment to him, her son\u2019s spirit may not be able to move on to the other world. The mother should pray for her son to go to heaven quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, the mother should realize how fortunate it is that her younger son only fractured his leg. Her older son is dead, but thankfully, her younger son only fractured his leg and is still alive. She should view the situation in a positive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If she can be calm about her younger son\u2019s injury, she can be more composed about being held responsible for a car accident she did not cause. Compared to losing her son, having some dents on her car is definitely not a big deal. Having experienced an unthinkable tragedy, she can shrug off the car accident as a trivial incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is actually not such a big deal if she thinks, \u201cI could have died or fractured my leg in the car accident, but I was very lucky to only have my car rear-ended. All I had to deal with were a few dents on my car.\u201d If she can view the situation this way, the accident is not such a big deal. That is why I say it\u2019s not a problem. It is possible that the mother and her younger son could also have died like her oldest son, but they didn\u2019t. The younger son just broke his leg, and the mother was in a car accident but was not hurt. Since things could have been much worse, the mother should actually be thankful and live her life to the fullest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If someone walks by and trips her, she should be able to say calmly, \u201cI even made it through the loss of my son. There is nothing that I can\u2019t overcome.\u201d She has nothing to fear in life. Since she lived through the death of her son, she\u2019ll be able to live on even if she loses all her money and even if her house burns down. This is a big realization she could obtain through the death of her son, and it is actually a big gift her son left behind. If the mother continues to grieve deeply about the death of her son, it means that he has left suffering for his mother. However, if she gains wisdom from this experience, it means that her son has left behind a precious gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anytime she is confronted with difficulties in her life, she should try to think this way: \u201cI\u2019ve received a big gift from my son. In the past, I would have been miserable and frantic if something like this had happened to me. However, after losing my son, I have realized that a difficulty like this isn\u2019t such a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things that happen to us are neither good nor bad. They just happen. If we perceive them positively, they become good things, and if we perceive them negatively, they become bad things. We are the ones who decide whether what we experience is good or bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, when we fail in something, that is neither good nor bad. Whether we fail in a relationship or in business, if we are traumatized by it, we will be afraid to enter into a relationship or begin a business in the future. The fear of failing again will be a handicap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Older people are expected to be more open hearted and generous. When young people are frugal and try to save money, they are looked upon with approval. However, when older people try to hold on to their possessions or money, they are frowned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf someone likes your clothes, you should give them away. You won\u2019t be able to take anything with you when you die. After you pass away, even your kids won\u2019t take your clothes. Unless you\u2019re someone famous and your clothes are worthy of exhibiting in a museum, they will be burned. Therefore, when you give your things away, they are only considered to be gifts when you are alive. People will refuse to take a dead person\u2019s clothes because many think that they are possessed. Thus, giving away your things long before you die will help you let go of your strong attachment to them and also will bring you good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you give your wealth to those in need, it becomes a charitable act. Giving food to the hungry and caring for the sick bring good fortune to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As people age, they often wish the best for their children and grandchildren rather than themselves. If you wish for the well-being of your descendants, you must do good deeds. You need to keep making donations for the poor, albeit a small amount. Instead of trying to donate a large amount of money out of greed for good fortune, you should donate steadily within your means. For example, if you have $10, you can spend $9 on your lunch and donate $1 for the poor. This is the way to accumulate good fortune. Instead of praying for the wellbeing of your children and grandchildren, you should keep doing good deeds. Then, you grandchildren will surely reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you leave an inheritance to your children, they are likely to fight over the money and end up becoming enemies. I\u2019ve been to many funerals, and I have witnessed that when the deceased has left a large inheritance, the remaining family members inevitably get into conflict. As soon as the parents pass away, disputes over the inheritance break out among the family members. However, if there is no inheritance, there is no conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you put your assets in order and give most of them away while you\u2019re alive, things will be tidy and simple after your death. Therefore, it\u2019s best for you to only keep the amount you need to live on in your old age and donate rest of the assets to good causes. Since you plan to donate your money anyway for the good of our society, you should not begrudge the taxes you pay when you have a high income. It won\u2019t make a difference whether you donate a lump sum at the end of your life or small amounts throughout your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all depend on nature and benefit from the society that we live in. Any wealth we have accumulated cannot be considered to be our own because it has been gained through the benefits we receive from members of society and nature. If you keep this in mind and use your wealth for the common good, you will not only be able to put your assets in order before you pass away but also obtain good fortune. Using his wealth, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, established a foundation with the goal of finding cures for fatal diseases such as AIDS. If you donate your assets to organizations that contribute positively to the advancement of society, the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate your entire life will be used for beneficial and worthy purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some time ago, the CEO of a major Korean company was involved in a legal fight against his siblings over the inheritance his father left behind. Since he had secretly taken possession of all the inheritance without the knowledge or consent of his siblings, he should have apologized to them when his wrongdoings were revealed. Instead, he caused a racket in court shouting, \u201cI won\u2019t give back a single penny. I will go to the constitutional court or even the supreme court to make sure of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From this incident, we can conclude, \u201cThere is no limit to greed. Money doesn\u2019t guarantee happiness. Money can\u2019t solve our problems.\u201d We can also see how inheritance can drive siblings apart. Therefore, it\u2019s best to think about and decide while you\u2019re still alive whether you will give your wealth away as a gift to others or leave it as a source of trouble for your children.<\/p>\n","post_title":"It Is A Gift Only When You Give It Away While You Are Still Alive","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"it-is-a-gift-only-when-you-give-it-away-while-you-are-still-alive","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-12-27 23:15:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-12-28 04:15:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=17868","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_37"};

\nQ:<\/strong> \u201cStarting 15 days prior to Buddha's birthday I prayed early in the morning every day for 73 days for my son who had been preparing for the SAT. Despite my devoted prayers, unthinkable tragedies have happened to me. I have lost my smart and kind eldest son, and right after his death, my younger son broke his leg. Then, I was hit by a car while waiting at a traffic light but was declared to be the offender. It\u2019s devastating enough that I have lost my son.

P:<\/strong> Older people are expected to be more open hearted and generous. When young people are frugal and try to save money, they are looked upon with approval. However, when older people try to hold on to their possessions or money, they are frowned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf someone likes your clothes, you should give them away. You won\u2019t be able to take anything with you when you die. After you pass away, even your kids won\u2019t take your clothes. Unless you\u2019re someone famous and your clothes are worthy of exhibiting in a museum, they will be burned. Therefore, when you give your things away, they are only considered to be gifts when you are alive. People will refuse to take a dead person\u2019s clothes because many think that they are possessed. Thus, giving away your things long before you die will help you let go of your strong attachment to them and also will bring you good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you give your wealth to those in need, it becomes a charitable act. Giving food to the hungry and caring for the sick bring good fortune to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As people age, they often wish the best for their children and grandchildren rather than themselves. If you wish for the well-being of your descendants, you must do good deeds. You need to keep making donations for the poor, albeit a small amount. Instead of trying to donate a large amount of money out of greed for good fortune, you should donate steadily within your means. For example, if you have $10, you can spend $9 on your lunch and donate $1 for the poor. This is the way to accumulate good fortune. Instead of praying for the wellbeing of your children and grandchildren, you should keep doing good deeds. Then, you grandchildren will surely reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you leave an inheritance to your children, they are likely to fight over the money and end up becoming enemies. I\u2019ve been to many funerals, and I have witnessed that when the deceased has left a large inheritance, the remaining family members inevitably get into conflict. As soon as the parents pass away, disputes over the inheritance break out among the family members. However, if there is no inheritance, there is no conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you put your assets in order and give most of them away while you\u2019re alive, things will be tidy and simple after your death. Therefore, it\u2019s best for you to only keep the amount you need to live on in your old age and donate rest of the assets to good causes. Since you plan to donate your money anyway for the good of our society, you should not begrudge the taxes you pay when you have a high income. It won\u2019t make a difference whether you donate a lump sum at the end of your life or small amounts throughout your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all depend on nature and benefit from the society that we live in. Any wealth we have accumulated cannot be considered to be our own because it has been gained through the benefits we receive from members of society and nature. If you keep this in mind and use your wealth for the common good, you will not only be able to put your assets in order before you pass away but also obtain good fortune. Using his wealth, Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, established a foundation with the goal of finding cures for fatal diseases such as AIDS. If you donate your assets to organizations that contribute positively to the advancement of society, the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate your entire life will be used for beneficial and worthy purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some time ago, the CEO of a major Korean company was involved in a legal fight against his siblings over the inheritance his father left behind. Since he had secretly taken possession of all the inheritance without the knowledge or consent of his siblings, he should have apologized to them when his wrongdoings were revealed. Instead, he caused a racket in court shouting, \u201cI won\u2019t give back a single penny. I will go to the constitutional court or even the supreme court to make sure of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From this incident, we can conclude, \u201cThere is no limit to greed. Money doesn\u2019t guarantee happiness. Money can\u2019t solve our problems.\u201d We can also see how inheritance can drive siblings apart. Therefore, it\u2019s best to think about and decide while you\u2019re still alive whether you will give your wealth away as a gift to others or leave it as a source of trouble for your children.<\/p>\n","post_title":"It Is A Gift Only When You Give It Away While You Are Still Alive","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"it-is-a-gift-only-when-you-give-it-away-while-you-are-still-alive","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-12-27 23:15:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-12-28 04:15:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=17868","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_37"};
\nP:<\/strong> We all go through the four phases of life: birth, aging, sickness, and death in our lives, and we often do things we end up regretting because we fail to be thankful for our blessings. A mother related to me about how she has been continually confronted with unfortunate incidents since the loss of her son.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQ:<\/strong> \u201cStarting 15 days prior to Buddha's birthday I prayed early in the morning every day for 73 days for my son who had been preparing for the SAT. Despite my devoted prayers, unthinkable tragedies have happened to me. I have lost my smart and kind eldest son, and right after his death, my younger son broke his leg. Then, I was hit by a car while waiting at a traffic light but was declared to be the offender. It\u2019s devastating enough that I have lost my son. I don't understand why these unfortunate things are happening to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nP:<\/strong> This mother prayed for her son to study hard and get accepted into a good college. But, if she had known that he was going to die, she would have instead prayed for his safety and health. This is to say she didn\u2019t realize how grateful she should be by the fact that her son was alive because she was so concerned about her son getting accepted into a good college. However, when her son died, she realized that being a good student and going to a good college was not important at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow should a mother pray if she truly loves her child? She should pray, \u201cI am thankful that my child is alive, I don\u2019t want anything else as long as my child is safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, what has already happened is irreversible. The mother described her son as a good person, so she should believe that he went to heaven. The mother should think, \u201cMy son went to heaven at such a young age because he was such a good person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the mother grieves too much for her son and doesn\u2019t let go of her attachment to him, her son\u2019s spirit may not be able to move on to the other world. The mother should pray for her son to go to heaven quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, the mother should realize how fortunate it is that her younger son only fractured his leg. Her older son is dead, but thankfully, her younger son only fractured his leg and is still alive. She should view the situation in a positive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If she can be calm about her younger son\u2019s injury, she can be more composed about being held responsible for a car accident she did not cause. Compared to losing her son, having some dents on her car is definitely not a big deal. Having experienced an unthinkable tragedy, she can shrug off the car accident as a trivial incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is actually not such a big deal if she thinks, \u201cI could have died or fractured my leg in the car accident, but I was very lucky to only have my car rear-ended. All I had to deal with were a few dents on my car.\u201d If she can view the situation this way, the accident is not such a big deal. That is why I say it\u2019s not a problem. It is possible that the mother and her younger son could also have died like her oldest son, but they didn\u2019t. The younger son just broke his leg, and the mother was in a car accident but was not hurt. Since things could have been much worse, the mother should actually be thankful and live her life to the fullest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If someone walks by and trips her, she should be able to say calmly, \u201cI even made it through the loss of my son. There is nothing that I can\u2019t overcome.\u201d She has nothing to fear in life. Since she lived through the death of her son, she\u2019ll be able to live on even if she loses all her money and even if her house burns down. This is a big realization she could obtain through the death of her son, and it is actually a big gift her son left behind. If the mother continues to grieve deeply about the death of her son, it means that he has left suffering for his mother. However, if she gains wisdom from this experience, it means that her son has left behind a precious gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anytime she is confronted with difficulties in her life, she should try to think this way: \u201cI\u2019ve received a big gift from my son. In the past, I would have been miserable and frantic if something like this had happened to me. However, after losing my son, I have realized that a difficulty like this isn\u2019t such a big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things that happen to us are neither good nor bad. They just happen. If we perceive them positively, they become good things, and if we perceive them negatively, they become bad things. We are the ones who decide whether what we experience is good or bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, when we fail in something, that is neither good nor bad. Whether we fail in a relationship or in business, if we are traumatized by it, we will be afraid to enter into a relationship or begin a business in the future. The fear of failing again will be a handicap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was once tortured in the past. If I had taken it negatively, it would have become the worst trauma in my life, and I would have had deep animosity towards the people who tortured me. However, because I was able to take it as an experience, it became an opportunity for me to become enlightened. Most people are hurt by the bad experiences they have in their lives. Because they hold on to their hurt feelings, they cannot be free of suffering. It is important to accept any experiences we have had as life lessons that will enhance our lives. People who can do this will become stronger the more difficulties they experience and will become more capable of overcoming adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The loss of a child can be indescribably painful to parents. However, if they are able to be enlightened about life through this tragic experience, they will be able to live their lives more boldly than any other person. They may realize, \u201cWhat could be more devastating than losing our child? Since we have lived through it, there won\u2019t be an adversity that we can\u2019t overcome.\u201d Whatever disasters occur in the world, they will be able to deal with them calmly even if others are devastated by them.<\/p>\n","post_title":"A Big Gift Her Son Left Behind","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"giving-alms-without-expectation-of-reward-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-02 14:46:15","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-02 19:46:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=18122","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":17868,"post_author":"40","post_date":"2024-02-27 11:11:00","post_date_gmt":"2024-02-27 16:11:00","post_content":"\n

Therefore, it\u2019s best to think about and decide while you\u2019re still alive whether you will give your wealth away as a gift to others or leave it as a source of trouble for your children.<\/p>\n","post_title":"It Is A Gift Only When You Give It Away While You Are Still Alive","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"it-is-a-gift-only-when-you-give-it-away-while-you-are-still-alive","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-12-27 23:15:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-12-28 04:15:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=17868","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_37"};

A mother related to me about how she has been continually confronted with unfortunate incidents since the loss of her son.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQ:<\/strong> \u201cStarting 15 days prior to Buddha's birthday I prayed early in the morning every day for 73 days for my son who had been preparing for the SAT. Despite my devoted prayers, unthinkable tragedies have happened to me. I have lost my smart and kind eldest son, and right after his death, my younger son broke his leg. Then, I was hit by a car while waiting at a traffic light but was declared to be the offender. It\u2019s devastating enough that I have lost my son. I don't understand why these unfortunate things are happening to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
