สรุปเนื้อหา
This text discusses the concept of merit in Buddhism, illustrating its importance for spiritual success and future lives. It encourages individuals to invite friends to perform merit-making activities at the temple to attain happiness and avoid negative realms. The key takeaway is that accumulating merit is essential for advancing to a better state in life and achieving Nibbana. The narrative emphasizes the longer-term benefits of making merit, suggesting that those who embrace it now will position themselves favorably in future lives. A metaphor of 'front row' versus 'back row' serves to motivate individuals to take action towards accumulating merit, regardless of their current standing. By recognizing and acting on the merit within oneself, one can foster a brighter spiritual path.

79. COME REAP YOUR MERIT
Invite your friends to come and reap merit at the temple. I feel pity for them, fearing that they may find themselves erroneously trading into an unhappy realm. Persuade them to perform merit so that they will have the opportunity to rise to Heaven or Nibbana.

80. SUCCEED THROUGH MERIT
Whatever you set out to accomplish, keep your merits in mind. If you possess merit, merit will help you succeed in the things that you do. Merit is your refuge. Center your mind in it and everything will fall in place.

81. MERIT SPHERE
Reap as much merit as you can. If you fail to do so, in the next life when we meet again, I will recall who did not want to make merit when given the opportunity and now he ends up up having very little of it to help him keep up with others.

82. IN THE FRONT ROW
Make merit now, even if you are "in the back row" when doing so. In the next life, your merit will bring you to the front row. It’s up to you where you want to be. Do you want to be in the front or in the back?
