Whenever an unwholesome thought arises, no matter how trivial it may seem, we should immediately confront it by chanting the Buddha's name. If you do not patch up a hole in a shirt while the whole is still small, it will eventually become too big to be patched

Once you make that connection through practicing Buddhism and chanting the name of the Buddha and Guan Yin Bodhisattva, you will experience Dharma Joy—something to which the secular sensual pleasures cannot compare. Even just one moment of this bliss will make you realize how tainted these "pleasures" from the mundane world are. But would you want to experience such pleasures? The choice is yours!

To have a healthy body, in secular terms you should contribute medicine, treatment, tea, and healthy drinks. Buddhist teachings say that you should stop killing and be vegetarian—this removes negative causes from the root, naturally resulting in a healthy body and sharp mind.

“The foundation of greatness is having gentleness on the surface and fortitude within.” When dealing with people or situations, your outward demeanor must be gentle, kind and friendly, but your inner spirit must be strong-willed and resilient.
“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!
