When karmic hindrances arise,
your mind must remain steadfast and calm.
When facing adversity and hardship,
you must endure,
be remorseful and repent diligently.

Whenever an unwholesome thought arises, no matter how trivial it may seem, we should immediately confront it by chanting the Buddha's name. If you do not patch up a hole in a shirt while the whole is still small, it will eventually become too big to be patched

Even just one moment of this bliss will make you realize how tainted these "pleasures" from the mundane world are. But would you want to experience such pleasures? The choice is yours!

To have a healthy body, in secular terms you should contribute medicine, treatment, tea, and healthy drinks. Buddhist teachings say that you should stop killing and be vegetarian—this removes negative causes from the root, naturally resulting in a healthy body and sharp mind.

Being vegetarian is compassionate and will lead to Buddhahood
How did the Buddha realize Buddhahood?
Through cultivating great compassion.
What is the greatest enemy to compassion?
Cruelty. While your mouth is chanting the Buddha's name, you still chew on the meat of sentient beings at the same time—how can you bear to swallow it? If you cannot even let go of this kind of desire for flavor, then you are still a complete layperson. Even after three great asankhyeya kalpas, you will still not be able to realize Buddhahood.
