To become a Buddha, we need to cultivate the Four All-Embracing Virtues and Six Paramitas. To be reborn as a human, we need to uphold the Five Precepts. To be born in the heavenly realms, we also need to follow and cultivate the Path of Three Virtuous Thoughts. We will fall into the Three Lower Realms if we break the precepts as a human.

Learn to free people from suffering and give them happiness just like Guan Yin Bodhisattva does.
You chant Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s name, and I wish that you will also learn to be like Guan Yin Bodhisattva! Before becoming a Bodhisattva, Guan Yin was an ordinary being, too. How did he accomplish his cultivation? He started by being compassionate, freeing others from suffering and giving them happiness. Since you cannot yet be as greatly compassionate as a Bodhisattva, you can start by practicing compassion little by little. Gradually, when you perfect your cultivation, you can be like the Bodhisattva.

Many people think that chanting the name of Amitabha Buddha will lead them to the Western Pure Land but that chanting the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva won’t do it. They also think that chanting the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva can save them from hardships, but that chanting the name of Amitabha Buddha won’t do it. This is wrong! All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have the compassion and the power to help sentient beings fulfill their wishes! Just give your utmost sincerity and you will be able to receive a response.

As Buddhist practitioners, and as monastic practitioners, there is no negotiating when it comes to the precepts. For every ounce of effort that you put into upholding the precepts, you will generate an ounce of beneficial value. For every part that you do not uphold, you will experience one part of suffering.
