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!

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.
