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!

If a tiger wanted to eat you, would you be willing to be eaten? If a bad person wanted to kill you, would you happily be killed? “Do not do to others what you would not wish for yourself.” See things through other beings’ eyes—if you would not be willing, then do not carelessly take other lives; do not eat meat anymore.

Karmic obstacles will be like a virus. When you want to practice, the virus will strike, making you very tired, making you think delusive thoughts, giving you all kinds of ailments.
