　　Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed

　　A great many people presume upon a reward when conducting a good deed. First and foremost, there is a natural tendency to equate doing good deeds with a certain amount of pecuniary reward, and reward with a certain sum of money. What is more, they maintain that since the basis of contemporary society is money, one of the major means of earning money is getting reward by conducting good deeds.

　　Conversely, the vast majority of people assume that doing a good deed should be based on people's individual consciousness of responsibility. Hence, conducting a good deed is fulfilling itself and little significance should be attached to monetary reward. Numerous illustrations can be given, but this will suffice. Mr. Leifeng lived an austere life dedicated to doing good deeds without expecting any reward and helping people from all walks of life, yet he was remembered as one of the most successful idol of our time.

　　Generally speaking, it is imperative for us to conduct good deeds without expecting any rewards. For one thing, we should appeal to the authorities to legislate laws and regulations to encourage people to do good deeds. For another, we should cultivate people's awareness that conducting good deeds is extremely crucial to us. It is universally acknowledged that we do this for enjoyment, self-fulfillment and spiritual enhancement, not for the purpose of reward.
