The rich should nourish their body with virtues. Being virtuous is a basic requirement. When one does not build a solid foundation in cultivating virtues but instead only pays attention to the trivialities of decorating one’s house and one’s body, how misguided it is!

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.

Good people are busy with wholesome endeavors; bad people are busy with unwholesome activities. All rewards or retributions are brought about by our own doing, so we should pay attention to our actions!

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!

Delivering sentient beings is a step-by-step process. First, you must uphold the precepts—this is the foundation. You must be able to save yourself, and then practice the great Bodhi Path of saving all sentient beings.

Being compassionate means bringing joy to others and liberating all sentient beings from suffering. To cultivate the Buddha Way as a Bodhisattva is to act with great compassion and help others in trying times. I hope that all of you will emulate Guan Yin Bodhisattva and her great compassion.

To take refuge in the Three Treasures is the first step of practicing Buddhism. You should practice according to the Buddha’s teachings! Doing so will liberate you from endless sufferings. What’s more, infinite Dharma joy and wealth of meritorious virtues are waiting for you. You will also be able to transcend the human and heavenly realms, be free from the suffering of transmigration in the Six Paths.
