Those who are arrogant have affinity to anger, not the Way. Arrogance breeds hatred, which in turn breeds anger, planting seeds of negative karma in people’s minds. You have to destroy the ivory tower of arrogance which stems from attachment to the self, even if it is difficult to do so.

If a tiger wanted to eat you, would you be willing to be eaten? If a bad person wanted to kill you, would you happily be killed? “Do not do to others what you would not wish for yourself.” See things through other beings’ eyes—if you would not be willing, then do not carelessly take other lives; do not eat meat anymore.

Karmic obstacles will be like a virus. When you want to practice, the virus will strike, making you very tired, making you think delusive thoughts, giving you all kinds of ailments.

In Bodhisattva practices, we need to observe that living beings are inherently pure in nature;
We will not forsake any living beings, because we understand that all living beings have karmic obstacles.
We will not be afflicted by, or form attachments to phenomenal appearances.
Consequently, we will achieve effortless self-mastery in our Bodhisattva practice.

Upon hearing about the suffering in the worlds in the Ten Directions, you should think that your future Buddha Land must not be like that!
You should ensure that sentient beings are free from cold, hunger, and worries. If you often contemplate like this, you will be able to adorn your future Buddha Land.

In order to have a pure mind, you must first work on the karma of your body and mouth. Some might say, “It is good enough for a person to have a good heart.” Of course you must have a good heart, but what kind of action can show that? Your good deeds are evidence of your good heart. If you do not pay attention to the karma of your mouth, do not do good deeds and instead do bad deeds, how can you lie that you have a good heart?
