It’s a foolish kind of blessing if you have the blessings but lack wisdom. It’s a dry kind of wisdom if you have the wisdom but lack the blessings. So you must cultivate both your blessings and wisdom equally and sufficiently. Your virtuous roots will blossom and bear fruit, and your wisdom and blessings will be fulfilled as you wish.

The result of one’s cultivation will be commensurate with the amount of effort one puts in. Without a cause, how could there be an effect? The Law of Cause and Effect won’t shortchange anyone, and nothing comes by luck. All that you need to do to put an end to bad effects is to nourish good causes. One day, you will be able to achieve anything with great ease and attain the Buddha Way.

You can’t eradicate all unwholesome deeds if you don’t uphold the Five Precepts. Your cultivation of myriad practices, let alone becoming a Buddha, won’t be successful if you don’t uphold Bodhisattva Precepts. If you can’t eliminate unwholesome deeds and cultivate good ones, how can you possibly receive the unsurpassed happiness and benefits from the Buddhadharma? You should diligently cultivate your blessings!
