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.

The spiritual power that Buddhism emphasizes is wisdom without outflows. When you have escaped the cycle of birth and death, you will naturally acquire the other five spiritual powers. That is to say, spiritual powers will come naturally when you accomplish your practice.

Guiding others out of good intention is a way of giving your wisdom, and you will receive even more blessings and wisdom in reward. Please let us all set the Bodhi goal to give, to connect with others, and to cultivate our blessings so that everyone will be happy.

The mind was the seed of past transgressions.
With the right conditions and the passage of time, retribution appears.
Plant wholesome roots now and transform your mind and thoughts,
To eradicate evil, give rise to joy, and put your mind at ease.
No matter what situations you encounter in the future,
Right views will be your seed of Bodhi.
All phenomena in the past, present and future are illusory in nature.
When the sun of wisdom shines brightly, the clouds of ignorance will dissipate.
