What is the Buddha Way? What is the secular way? When we violate the Buddhist practices and just apply our secular sentiments in whatever we do, then that is the secular way. On the other hand, if we abide by the Buddhist practices, distance ourselves from secular sentiments, and cultivate pure karma, then that is the Buddha Way.

Because ordinary people are so affected by hatred and love, they are unable to be impartial. To be unbiased in handling affairs or disputes, familiarity with others and preconceptions of right or wrong must be put aside. Don’t be swayed by emotions. Then you will naturally be impartial and fair in whatever you do.

Third, the caring precepts, which guide and benefit all sentient beings. The Bodhisattva Precepts are inclusive of all of the Buddhadharma. If all of you can practice the Three Sets of Pure Precepts, you will naturally become a Bodhisattva.

How can you deal with sleepless nights?
You can use the time to prostrate to the Buddha. When you become tired, you will fall asleep naturally. If you still cannot fall asleep but you feel calm, lie down quietly to rest your mind. The worst is when you cannot sleep, your mind is agitated and you are tossing and turning in bed; you will not be able to find rest. You will need to re-adjust your frame of mind and then cultivate a routine of meditation and prostration to the Buddha. Gradually, your body will find its pace and you will sleep better.
