Question 10: "When I visit my father, he always gives me an envelope full of money. Usually, it's about $100. I resist taking it, but he insists. It's always awkward. Is there a better way to handle getting gifts like this?"

Kiro:

When you refuse gift,
you refuse love.

There are two kinds of generosity of heart,
giving and receiving.

When giving heart is open and receiving heart is open,
love can flow between two people.

Your father's giving heart is open.
Your receiving heart is closed.

To solve problem,
open receiving heart so love can grow between you and father.

When father hands you money,
hug him and express thanks for his generous gift.

When you do, he gets to love you without your resistance
and you get to love him for his generosity.

When both hearts are open,
love will be nourished.

A bloom of love will open between you
to make your relationship more beautiful.
