Pay attention to the word ‘precept’. It means both ending and upholding. Ending means putting an end to all unwholesome deeds. Upholding means maintaining and holding to.

If you did not have great wisdom, and great courage, how would you believe in Buddhist teachings? Even if you believed in the teachings, how would you come to take the precepts? By courageously and wisely taking the precepts, then it is as stated in the sutras, “When sentient beings receive the precepts of the Buddhas, they thereupon enter the ranks of the Buddhas.” I wish that after taking the precepts, everyone will uphold the Precept Dharma and realize Buddhahood together in the future!

We see waves on the sea because wind blows on it. Without wind, there are no waves.
If we can get rid of the wind of ignorance, we can resume the true nature of no substance.
With pure mind and right conduct, we can perfect our blessings and wisdom and attain Buddhahood.

Breaking the precepts of killing and stealing will not only make others suffer and the world not be in peace, but you will also suffer. In fact, although those whom you offend also suffer, the one who will suffer the most is you yourself, as you have to bear the retribution of killing and stealing. If one person practices Buddhism, that person will enjoy peacefulness; if everyone can practice Buddhism, the world will be at peace.

“Amitabha” is also Sanskrit, meaning “infinite light and infinite life.” Amitabha Buddha’s sacred name embodies the virtues of infinite light and infinite life. It originates from his great compassionate cultivation of blessings, wisdom, the Four All-Embracing Virtues, and Six Paramitas over innumerable billions of kalpas.
