As lay practitioners with Bodhi resolve, we must seek the Buddha’s guidance in striving for awakening, while liberating living beings and creating affinity with them. We do this to cultivate the Way without hindrances. By benefiting others, we also benefit ourselves. Hence, realizing Buddhahood is inextricably linked with helping other sentient beings.

You must also realize that when there are attachments, obstacles will arise. It is like trying to navigate a ship without pulling up the anchor; you won’t be able to reach the other shore. If you do not let go of attachment, how can you realize the true emptiness of the Dharma Realm?

Overall, the Sanskrit word Buddha has numerous meanings, which just cannot be represented by the word “enlightenment.” In a language like Chinese, “enlightenment” is polysemous, so it will bring confusion. Therefore, it is better to retain the Sanskrit word, Buddha.

Those with virtuous roots can accept the teaching even though they do not understand it. They believe that the Buddha speaks the truth and only the truth. They believe in and practice what the Buddha teaches. Even though they are still unclear about some principles, they practice them with confidence and conviction. Between these two types of people, we should learn from the ones with virtuous roots and follow their example.
