When we recite the Flower Adornment sutra, it is most important that we expand the capacity of our minds. Let go of the notions of ‘me and mine’. Open up our mind to be in complete harmony with the minds of all Buddhas of the Ten Directions.

Make a big resolve. A big heart is the mind of a Buddha. How big should it be? It should be boundless. When you chant the name of the Buddha with a big heart, the resulting meritorious virtues will not only greatly benefit you, but also all other sentient beings.

In cherishing blessings, not only should we avoid wasting resources, but we should also earnestly practice giving; if we neglect to practice giving, we are not cherishing our blessings. We are being stingy.

The more we understand, from a scientific point of view, we know that we cannot count all the worlds. How many Buddhas and sentient being are there in the vastness of the universe? Modern science has no way of knowing.

The Avatamsaka Syllabary begins with the syllable ‘a’. By adding different syllables after it, we give it different meanings. All phenomena originate from this one syllable ‘a’, and ultimately return to the syllable ‘a’. The syllable ‘a’ gives rise to all of the myriad phenomena. It represents our essential nature, our original pure mind.

The syllable ‘a’ is like our self-nature, our pure mind. Which syllables will you place after it? If you place an ordinary word after it, it will merely be a secular term. If you give it limitless light and limitless life, then it becomes Amitabha Buddha.

In your Bodhisattva practice, if you already have the intention to seek transcendence, and have given rise to the mind of great compassion, you also need to practice contemplation of emptiness. This relates to the part of the syllabary where we recite, “with the universal vow that all sentient beings enter the prajna paramita door.”
