If you can’t eliminate unwholesome deeds and cultivate good ones, how can you possibly receive the unsurpassed happiness and benefits from the Buddhadharma?

Doing good or bad deeds depends on a single thought. If you are deluded in one thought, there will be no limit to the wicked deeds that you can do. However, if you change your bad behavior, you will be able to accomplish any of the Four All-Embracing Virtues and Six Paramitas. You will thoroughly be a good person. You only have to pay attention and change your thoughts.

You will enjoy eternal auspiciousness and prosperity.
