Lingyen Mountain Temple is a Buddha-making factory. You are wise after all, and have the virtuous roots that have brought you to the temple to take the precepts. The temple is a Buddha-making factory, but you need to be willing to undergo the carving. Carving involves being hit and chiseled with an axe. There is certainly suffering to be endured, but without enduring the pain of carving, how will you become a perfect Buddha statue that is revered by tens of thousands of people? All Buddhas take suffering as their teacher.

I hope that everyone will bring forth their own resolve for Bodhi. Receive and uphold the precepts. By upholding the precepts and reciting the Buddha’s name, it is for certain that we will be reborn in the Western Pure Land together. Otherwise, if we fall into the Three Lower Realms, and continue in the cycle of transmigration in the Six Paths, the suffering will be unspeakable. Since you have all been able to bring forth the wholesome intention to take the precepts, then there is nothing you cannot uphold. You will definitely be able to uphold the precepts. The Buddha would not instruct people to do something beyond their capabilities, so do not doubt yourself.
