ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า
No matter how many material possessions we may have accumulated, none of them can be taken with us upon our departure from this world. All of them will be left behind. The only possession we can take with us is our spiritual wealth, in the form of merits. Merits stay with us for many lifetimes. Our life in this world is very short indeed, but our life in the samara is very long. It is wise for us to accumulate as much spiritual wealth as we can, in every opportunity available. One of the easiest ways to create spiritual wealth is through charitable giving as described above.

- Giving in hope of getting something in return
- Giving out of fear

- Giving to procure future favors

- Giving to improve the quality of one’s mind
