The mind was the seed of past transgressions.
With the right conditions and the passage of time, retribution appears.
Plant wholesome roots now and transform your mind and thoughts,
To eradicate evil, give rise to joy, and put your mind at ease.
No matter what situations you encounter in the future,
Right views will be your seed of Bodhi.
All phenomena in the past, present and future are illusory in nature.
When the sun of wisdom shines brightly, the clouds of ignorance will dissipate.
~New Year’s Dharma Blessings from the Abbot in 2022

“A tranquil mind and a hardworking body are essential for longevity.” Therefore, you must maintain a peaceful mind and an active body. An idle body leads to poor health.

When you build a Recitation Hall, other people can come to practice, accumulate virtues, and end the cycle of birth and death. By planting this virtuous cause, you will easily succeed in your practice in the future. Without this virtuous cause, your practice will be difficult.

Every family has its own difficulties. Don’t try to tend to them, or solve them, for you can’t resolve the issues even if you do. You might even make it worse! Just keep your thoughts and ideas to yourself. Chant Amitabha Buddha and chant Guan Yin Bodhisattva to untie all these knots. How great!
