While staying at the monastery, we try to perform wholesome deeds together. With these, one may share with one’s parents, sisters, brothers, and friends. It is also important to share these wholesome deeds with departed relatives and those who may be in a miserable existence, and are waiting to receive one’s merit to be reborn in a happy existence.
