Question: Dear Sayadaw! How could I cultivate the ability of being generous?

“To be generous, you should learn from the others, from Thabarwa center in Thanlyin also. The people are giving nearly every day, many people are donating generously to the center and to the old and sick people. If you dare to do like this, her mind would change and it will be easy to be generous.”

Question: Dear Sayadaw! How could I know what I’m doing is what I should do and It is right or not?

“If we are able to do what is necessary to do, our necessary will be fulfill by these actions. If we are doing what is not needed for us, our needs will not be fulfill. This is cause and effect. Only by practising seriously continuously, we can understand what kinds of benefits or results we get. By seeing the results we get we can decide what we are doing is whether we should do or not. By doing what is right we can get good results, by doing what is wrong we can get bad results; so depending on what kinds of results we receive we can decide what we are doing is right or wrong.”
