>> Teachings
of Master Yin Guang
|
Whether one is a
layperson or has left the home-life, one should respect elders
and be harmonious to those surrounding you. One should endure
what others cannot achieve. One should take others' difficulties
unto oneself and help them succeed in their undertakings.

While sitting quietly, one should often reflect
upon one's own faults, and when chatting with friends, one should
not discuss the rights and wrongs of others.
In every action one makes, whether dressing
or eating, from dawn to dusk 'till dawn, one should not cease to
recite the Buddha's name. Aside from Buddha name recitation, whether
reciting quietly or silently, one should not give rise to other
improper thoughts. If wandering thoughts appear, one should immediately
dismiss them.
Constantly maintain a humble and repentful
heart; even if one has upheld true cultivation, one should still
feel one's practice is shallow and never boast.
One should mind one's own business and not
business of others. Only look after the good examples of others
instead of bad ones. One should see oneself as mundane and everyone
else as Bodhisattvas.
If one can cultivate according to these teachings,
one is sure to reach the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
