A rich merchant organized an extravagant birthday party for himself. Hundreds of people from far and wide came to celebrate with him.

When it was time for the party to start, the merchant requested a monk to come over to his mansion. He asked the monk to write him the best possible blessing.His intention was so that everyone in his family can benefit from the blessing for generations to come.

The monk agreed to his request. The monk then grabbed a brush and wrote four characters on a large white paper: Father, son, grandson, death.

“I requested your blessing for good fortune. Why did you bestow such a terrible curse upon me...?” the rich merchant said angrily.

The monk enlightened the merchant to the true meaning of his words. “Death is inevitable. Everyone will eventually face it one day. If you’re daughter dies before you, you would be face a great suffering. “And if your grandson dies before his mother...you and your daughter would suffer infinitely more. But should everyone in your family passes away in due course as I have written. Then that would be the best fortune to be bestowed upon your family.”
