What if you don’t have the opportunity to do good deeds and accumulate merit?

2015-10-02 Tibetan Master

ask:Do you have to do a lot of good deeds to accumulate merit? What if you are too busy and have no chance?

Sodaji Khenpo:If we do not have many opportunities to accumulate merit, but as long as we can often have compassion for sentient beings, faith and respect for the guru and the Three Jewels, and have a sense of shame for a long time (especially, shame is very important for practitioners.The ancients said that moral people will not think that they are moral, and wise people will not think that they are wise. Instead, people without moral and wise like to brag about themselves.Therefore, we should regard ourselves as ordinary people like the great monks and masters in the past, so that our good roots can increase day and night.

Therefore, everyone should understand that it is not necessary to do a lot of good deeds every day to increase merit. Cultivating good intentions is the secret to increase merit.
