Offering medicine since Dhammachai Day
We were born or will die only once per lifetime, but we may be sick every day. The Lord Buddha taught that not being sick was an excellent fortune. The Medical Care Fund will be spent to cure sick monks and novices, its fruit will also lessen the bad retribution from the previous lifetimes. The monks and novices seeking the middle way need to be healthy enough to do the monastic duties to prolong Buddhism. The Lord Buddha taught that those who want to keep Him up please treat the ill monks instead.
