10. KEEP ALL PROCEDURES CLEAR
There is a saying, “A penny from the monastery is as big as a mountain.” To deceive without truthfully disclosing the transactions one has to repay it with labor (be reborn as an animal wearing a horn or wool). Understand my disciples, regardless of how small the amount, it came from the donation of sentient beings’ hard earned money. Once it is donated to the temple, its value and impact are as tall and as huge as a mountain. Therefore, once money is donated to the temple, if you do not keep the transaction clean and cherish it, even the misuse of a penny can cause you to suffer from the consequence of karmic law. In doing so you could be reborn as a cow or a horse as repayment for what you owe.
So my disciples, when it comes to any donation of objects or money by Tao relatives, you have to keep everything transparent. You must be cautious in this aspect because the heavenly law is strict and your actions are clearly recorded; there is no room for error. Every Tao relative’s donation must be carefully recorded.
