Pray to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to liberate sentient beings from suffering
We know that in this world there is nothing we can rely on. We need to seek assistance from the most compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva to help us, along with our parents and teachers over the infinite past, as well as all sentient beings, to find relief from suffering. We are all together in the Six Paths of Transmigration. We not only want to free ourselves from suffering, but also vow to help all sentient beings attain liberation together. This is the right mindset to have when praying to and chanting the name of Guan Yin Bodhisattva.

The Five Precepts are like a golden chain that guard the body and mind. Use them to prevent the body from committing acts of killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct, and stop the mouth from engaging in two-tongued speech, harsh speech, false speech, and frivolous speech. This is the essence of the Five Precepts.

To become a Buddha, we need to cultivate the Four All-Embracing Virtues and Six Paramitas. To be reborn as a human, we need to uphold the Five Precepts. To be born in the heavenly realms, we also need to follow and cultivate the Path of Three Virtuous Thoughts. We will fall into the Three Lower Realms if we break the precepts as a human.
