Without forbearance, it would be even more difficult to uphold precepts or to practice giving. We must learn to endure hardships in order to accomplish our cultivation and attain Buddhahood. Only when we have perfected forbearance are we able to attain liberation and Nirvana.

The Earth Store Sutra is considered a sutra about filiality, and a mirror which clearly reflects the principles of cause and effect. Only by reading the sutra with a calm mind will we be able to understand.

A single cause requires the help of many conditions in order for its effects to come to fruition. When the time comes and all the necessary conditions are present, there will certainly be an effect. What kind of effect? It depends entirely on the wholesome and unwholesome causes that we create, which yield the effects of suffering and happiness. If the time has yet to come, there might not be an effect.

Indeed, everyone is busy with their lives. Good people are busy with wholesome endeavors; bad people are busy with unwholesome activities. All rewards or retributions are brought about by our own doing, so we should pay attentions to our actions！

True Nature is the fundamental substance or body of all things. It manifests infinite phenomena according to causes and conditions. Such infinite phenomena make up the Ten Realms, which include Four Realms of Sages and Six Unenlightened Realms. The Truth at the Buddha’s level is the Buddha Nature. From the human’s perspective, the truth becomes human nature. The fundamental substance of the human mind is the ultimate nature—the Buddha Nature—which does not change; but the human mind does change in accordance with causes and conditions.

It is inevitable to have some attachments now. It is okay, as long as you do not become too attached. Do not get carried away about what is right and wrong, as this kind of attachment is a suffering.

Buddhism teaches the Law of Dependent Origination; as long as conditions are ripe and you act accordingly, you can achieve anything. On the other hand, if the conditions are not ripe, you will not get whatever you wish for. Everything is governed by this Law, which is the Law of Cause and Effect. You reap what you sow; this is a clear fact.

We gain blessings when we take a loss. But we reduce our blessings when we take advantage of others. The Law of Cause and Effect never fails.

To get there, we must abide by the Buddhadharma. By following secular or Confucian teachings, we will still remain in the Six Paths, endure indescribable suffering, and never find liberation.
