We have passed the Songkran season—a Buddhist tradition where, beyond celebrating the Thai New Year, we come together to perform acts of merit.
Because we understand the principle that merit is the source of all things—the key to success and prosperity—we gather as a family to create merit together. Doing so serves as a guarantee for our future: that we will continue to prosper and experience happiness side-by-side, without anyone being left behind.
Because we have performed merit as a team, even when the time comes to depart from this world, the destination is clear for those with a meritorious and clear mind. When the mind is clear, a fortunate realm is the certain destination. Furthermore, when it is time to return to cultivate perfections once again, having made merit as a family ensures that we will meet again as parents, siblings, children, or relatives. This is truly the way to plan for the long term.
