When you are mindful of the Buddha in the Saha World, your lotus flower will grow from the Pond of Eight Virtues in the Western Pure Land. I hope that you work more diligently so that your lotus flower will grow exceptionally well. As long as you continue to chant the Buddha’s name continuously, the flower will grow bigger and bigger and its color will become brighter and brighter.

People who chant the name of Amitabha Buddha set this practice as their main form of cultivation. The emphasis is on having faith and aspiring for rebirth in the Western Pure Land. Only when you reach this place can you perfect your blessings and wisdom, becoming truly capable of delivering all others. Chant the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva to assist your cultivation as well; pray for your present obstacles to be eliminated and for your path of cultivation to be free of hindrances.

The meritorious virtues of the Buddha’s name are inconceivable. When one chants the name of the Buddha, the secular mind is one with the Sacred Name of innumerable virtues. The resulting meritorious virtues will enable one to transform from an ordinary person into an enlightened being, and to turn a mundane mind into a virtuous mind. Chant the Buddha’s name with this mind. How great this meritorious virtue is!

Buddhists should respect not only Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but also each other. It is said, “If you respect me one inch, I respect you one mile; if you respect me one mile, I honor you on my head.” We should bring forth a kind heart to change the way society is now. We should refrain from being jealous of and hindering others, competing against each other, and looking down upon others, as doing so is to find trouble for ourselves.
