Why do we live in poverty – according to the teaching of Gautama Buddha. Intentions to surrender to God

I am intrigued by the golden begging bowls at so many golden statues. As you can see, poverty is treated here and there with a grain of salt.

Our believing, promoting that if in the world there exists and is professed the idea of the Triple Gem, including the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha, then there exists the possibility of reversing the negative karma of poverty, and our carrying out such and similar assumptions and our experiencing the effects of this

Our believing, promoting that whoever slanders the Triple Gem must bear punishment, including poverty in this and subsequent incarnations, and our believing that if we sufficiently apologize, regret such and similar offenses, then we can break negative karma and, among other things, be reborn in wealthy families and not only, and our and others’ experiencing the effects of this

Our believing that the cause of being born and living in poverty, in poor families, societies is, among other things, arrogance toward parents and other people, souls, stubbornness including refusing to listen to elders and teachers, lack of diligence in paying homage to the Triple Gem, theft, accumulation of unpaid debts and not only, and our experiencing the effects of this

Our believing, promoting that the way to be reborn in wealthy and respected families is, among other things, compassionate giving, respect for parents and teachers, worship of the Triple Gem, patience and not falling into anger – even if others scold us, showing patience and respect always and to everyone, listening to sutras and attending their lectures and not only, and our experiencing the effects of this

Our believing, promoting that practicing and possessing the five virtues is the ideal, whereas following even one of them allows us and others to be protected from being born in poor families, of low servile status, and our experiencing the effects of this

Our believing, promoting, in accordance with the teachings of the Buddha and not only, that spiritual debts, debts of the mind are much heavier and greater than material or financial debts and much harder to repay, which at the same time forbids us to be reborn in families of high material status, wealthy, and our experiencing the effects of this

Our believing, promoting that, among other things, theft, parasitizing, appropriating others’ achievements, creativity, talents, as well as other forms of fraud such as deceiving parents, teachers, in business, or impersonating others’ copyrights, creativity not only lead to the heaviest karma of poverty and heavier than in the case of stealing money, property, and our experiencing the effects of this

Our believing, promoting that the greatest treasure, gift is wisdom, its gaining and attainment, and therefore the greatest offenses and karmic debts arise from transgressions against wisdom and appropriating others’ achievements and are the road to life and rebirth in poverty, and our experiencing the effects of this

Our believing, promoting, among other things according to the teachings of the Buddha, that poverty and rebirth in poverty is punishment for our envy and being guided by envy, including through our persistent producing desire for something others have and which karmically does not fall to us, emanating craving and energies of craving which also constitutes theft and not only, and our and others’ experiencing the effects of this

Technical issues concerning the idea and building sentences while working with intentions.
Art. “800 intentions for cleansing” Link
“Building extensive Intentions and prayers. Skype conversation about the technique” Link
“One-sentence scheme for intentions.” Link

The word (–not) added while working with intentions to a given word means that it is worth mentioning it as an opposite or even independently during the process finding and speaking any synonyms that come to mind together with their opposites.
e.g. — being paupers, sick it is good to say also with its opposite
–being paupers, sick, –not being paupers, sick

This allows to immediately move a given pattern as broadly as possible in different aspects, also in its opposite. It is also worth knowing that Souls often think, claim that they do not have such opposite patterns, e.g. that they are not idolaters as in the given case (given word)

Another example:
The soul of a woman denies ever being a bad mother. So adding here the word of negation – not being a bad mother may allow her to understand the state she is in
Being a bad mother, –not being a bad mother–
“But of course not, never in my life! These are not my patterns. What I do is my private matter.” – Very often the soul says or thinks about itself

I did these intentions right after publication. When I read them for the first time, I was surprised by the fact that these are my own beliefs, that this is exactly how I proceed in life (without judging whether it is right). From a received letter.
