Borrow
money to make merit

">Questions from audience:
If
someone who has a little money and borrows money to make merit, is it the right
deed? Will the donator get merit at once
or after he gives back all debt the lender?
When the fruit by this deed yields, how is it different from the normal
one?
In
the other hand, the lender had lent his money to make merit willingly but the
borrower could not pay back all debt and finally, the lender gave up his
debt. How does the fruit yield?

Answers:
The
action which is completely or partially correct by the principle depends on the
exploitation. If he did and it exploited
himself or others, his deed is not completely correct and may be wrong. If someone has not enough money and borrows
money to make merit, there are three possible cases:
">
">1. He
paid back all debt, example, he went to the temple and found that he had forgot
his wallet, so he borrowed his friend’s money to make merit and paid back
later. For this case it is okay but you
should know more details. If you make
merit with your money, you will get fully merit at once. If you borrowed to do, you would get partial
merit immediately and will get all of your merit whenever you pay back all
debt.
">
2. He
paid back partially and the lender gave up at last. It is not completely correct by the
principle. When the fruits yield, the
borrower’s living will depend on the lender, example, he will become the
lender’s employee.
">
3. He
did pay back at all. When the fruits
yield, the borrower will get something but he can not use or spend it. For example, the borrower won the 1st award
of lottery because of the fruits. But he
couldn’t spend the reward, he might be happy too much and suddenly shocked and passed
away.
