Do what you can to build Lingyen
Do not say, “The economy is not doing well right now; it is not easy to make a living. How could we have money to build a temple?” Building a temple certainly requires money. However, all kinds of praise and other spiritual support are also needed. Simply contribute according to your abilities; no one is asking you to do anything so difficult that it seems impossible. The Buddha taught us to work to the best of our abilities!

If you desire a compassionate and virtuous appearance, you must bring forth your great compassion. If you are not serene and cannot tolerate any grievances against you, not only will the development of your virtuous conduct stagnate, but your appearance will also lack compassion and amiability. Then, how will you be able to strike a chord with others?

There are eighty-four thousand afflictions in the secular world, but the Buddha has eighty-four thousand Dharma methods. The method of chanting Amitabha Buddha’s name contains within it all other Dharma methods. Practicing this method will allow us to completely refrain from bad deeds and cultivate all that is good.
