I hope that everyone will bring forth their own resolve for Bodhi. Receive and uphold the precepts. By upholding the precepts and reciting the Buddha’s name, it is for certain that we will be reborn in the Western Pure Land together. Otherwise, if we fall into the Three Lower Realms, and continue in the cycle of transmigration in the Six Paths, the suffering will be unspeakable. Since you have all been able to bring forth the wholesome intention to take the precepts, then there is nothing you cannot uphold. You will definitely be able to uphold the precepts. The Buddha would not instruct people to do something beyond their capabilities, so do not doubt yourself.
