Cause and effect: you must first plant a good cause to give yourself a good effect. Response: you must first act with sincerity before the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will give you the response you wish for. You can’t clap with just one hand to produce any sound. Similarly, you must have faith and be relentless in your cultivation in order to receive the desired effect!

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!
