You can’t eradicate all unwholesome deeds if you don’t uphold the Five Precepts. Your cultivation of myriad practices, let alone becoming a Buddha, won’t be successful if you don’t uphold Bodhisattva Precepts. If you can’t eliminate unwholesome deeds and cultivate good ones, how can you possibly receive the unsurpassed happiness and benefits from the Buddhadharma? You should diligently cultivate your blessings!

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.
——By Venerable Abbot Tze Cheng

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.

Patriarch Yin Kuang taught us:
Fulfill our primary responsibilities, subdue deviance and be sincere, do no unwholesome deeds, and do all kinds of virtuous deeds.
