Why are Buddhas, “World-honored Ones”, worthy of our respect? It is because their blessings and wisdom are complete and perfect. These “Twofold Adornments” are not accomplished for their own enjoyment, but rather for the sake of all sentient beings. That is why they are honored by all.

Buddha Recitation is the most wondrous, supreme and complete way to end the cycle of birth and death. Do not be fickle when you practice Buddha Recitations. You should not practice one form of Buddhism one day, and then another the next day. If you try out every single method, you will not be able to perfect any method at all. You will just be wasting your time in this precious life.

It’s a foolish kind of blessing if you have the blessings but lack wisdom. It’s a dry kind of wisdom if you have the wisdom but lack the blessings. So you must cultivate both your blessings and wisdom equally and sufficiently. Your virtuous roots will blossom and bear fruit, and your wisdom and blessings will be fulfilled as you wish.
