The Avatamsaka Syllabary begins with the syllable ‘a’. By adding different syllables after it, we give it different meanings. All phenomena originate from this one syllable ‘a’, and ultimately return to the syllable ‘a’. The syllable ‘a’ gives rise to all of the myriad phenomena. It represents our essential nature, our original pure mind.

The syllable ‘a’ is like our self-nature, our pure mind. Which syllables will you place after it? If you place an ordinary word after it, it will merely be a secular term. If you give it limitless light and limitless life, then it becomes Amitabha Buddha.

In your Bodhisattva practice, if you already have the intention to seek transcendence, and have given rise to the mind of great compassion, you also need to practice contemplation of emptiness. This relates to the part of the syllabary where we recite, “with the universal vow that all sentient beings enter the prajna paramita door.”

Adding different syllables behind ‘a’ to form various combinations changes its effect. From this we can see that all phenomena work in the same way. Different arrangements produce changes, but they do not change its essence. All phenomena arise interdependently from the syllable ‘a’, and finally return to the syllable ‘a’.

Did you know that having a smile on your face could solve most of your problems?
Generally speaking, have you noticed that people will not fight with you when you have a smile on your face? If someone appears angry and tries to hit you, just smile and apologize. Say, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault!” Even the biggest dispute can be resolved that way.

Just as in our self-nature, there are originally no such things as karmic obstacles. It is because delusive thoughts are like wind that causes delusive thoughts to arise in our self-nature and cause us, to do various deviant actions which become karmic obstacles.
