Question: I do import-export, real estate business, and house rental, but all my sources of money have collapsed. I also have emotional problems, physical illness, and a stroke. Please give me advice, Sayadaw?

You should understand that all the problems concerned with finance, health and the dying of one 1 family member, all these are caused by demerits or bad deeds.

What you really need is not money, not good health, just the stronger power of merits or good deeds. You just need to emphasize more and more in doing all kinds of good deeds with right understanding and mindfulness and detachment.

you need to change from your own ignorance and attachment on bad experience, disease or financial problems to mindfulness and detachment.

The power of mindfulness and detachment or good deeds can solve most of the problems caused by bad deeds. Even if it cannot solve the problems, our mind will be able to endure the problems. You should understand that the problems of finance, disease and death is concerned with anyone, nearly most of the people at the present are suffering this problem. We cannot reject the problem not to happen or to disappear quickly. We just need to endure.

If the mind is healthy and wealthy, it can solve the problems and it can also endure the problems. So you just need to detach from the problems from finance, disease or death of your family member. The more you are able to do good deeds, the more you can detach from your problems. In this way, you can survive for sure, even if there are problems concerned with the finance and disease.

For me, I have been solving not only the problems for myself or my meditation center, but also for the other people in the society. I have been solving all kinds of problems concerned with finance, healthcare and all kinds of social problems.

One of the judge is also staying in Italy Thabarwa. She is also helpful concerned with laws and regulations. But we are not using law and regulations to sue someone but only to solve the problems concerned with law and regulations.

Five years ago, one of the founder of nursing home, concerned with finance. She helps with the donation form the public for the nursing home, but she doesn’t get enough: So there was financial problems for her. But I made a decision for Vietnamese yogi to help her, because what she is doing is good. In this way, she can survive and create a nursing home with Thabarwa center. But her place is not permanent, she has to give back to the government. Now she already got compensation for the government. Now she will give me back the amount we support her to survive her nursing home.

This kind of doing good deeds is also one of the good deeds we have been doing for many years continuously. Here in Vietnam, the amount is too much compared with Myanmar. If you are skillful to solve the problems by doing good deeds, you can also help the others concerned with finance, healthcare. I’m not much skillful to explain what I have been doing for many years.

Because I emphasize on practicing, not much on explaining or saying. That is why, my explanation may not be complete.
