The Buddhadharma is superior knowledge; therefore, we must hold on to it with unwavering courage. We must not allow others to slander Buddhism and speak of unorthodox teachings, nor shall we allow their incorrect ideologies to influence others. The truth is not alloyed with emotion; otherwise it would not be the truth. The Buddhadharma is the truth as it is the only dharma that allows all beings to attain enlightenment. This is something secular dharma cannot do.

The Buddhadharma transcends and saves the world, but you need to give up your secular sentiments to practice it. Buddhist principles and secular sentiment are poles apart. Everyday sentiments are only useful for secular situations. So when practicing Buddhism, you must first let go of them.

Facilitate the temple construction with utmost sincerity
We can cultivate with our mouths; we can also cultivate with our minds. The Buddhadharma states that everything originates from the mind. You might not have the physical strength or monetary wealth, and you might not have time to cultivate, but you are able to contribute mental effort. Mental effort is the true source which will facilitate all causes and conditions; as long as you bring forth genuine, utmost sincerity, you will succeed. Realizing Buddhahood depends on making a single determination with utmost sincerity. You might think that realizing Buddhahood is the most difficult. If one single determination, made with utmost sincerity, can lead to the realization of Buddhahood, it is certainly possible to accomplish a monastery by making a single determination with utmost sincerity as well.

The Buddhadharma says, “Everything is created by the mind.” Both good and negative karma originate from your mind. Consequently, it is you who must overcome the karma of illness. It is just like battling with your enemy; whoever is stronger will win. If your mind is weaker, then your enemy will defeat you. If the power of your mind is stronger, then you can defeat your enemy and eradicate your negative karma.

To understand the Law of Cause and Effect, we must learn the Buddhadharma, which teaches us that the Law of Cause and Effect applies across the Three Periods of Time (past, present, and future). The Buddhadharma clearly points out where we come from, when we are born, what we should do now, and where we will go after we die. From this, the Buddhadharma gives us the true knowledge.

What exactly are “precepts” in Buddhism all about? The word “precept” has two meanings. They are what the Buddhadharma refers to as “do all good” and “do no bad.”

The Buddhadharma says that merits and virtues from any deed can be transferred to the Western Pure Land. If you do myriad deeds joyfully and transfer the merits to the Western Pure Land, not only will your rebirth there be unhindered, but also enhanced by the merits and virtues you gained!
