CHANGING OUR LUCK & PURIFYING OUR MIND

Even with great effort, meditation alone is not sufficient to attain spiritual realizations. We also need to engage in practices for accumulating merit and purifying negativities to create the right conditions for our meditations to succeed. Doing so greatly increases our happiness and power to help others.
