Teachings by the Teacher. Recorded and transcribed by ’s disciple, Venerable HaiZe. 17 May 2026 Teachings by Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju: Do not leave for tomorrow what can be accomplished today, for tomorrow has its own tasks. Do not delay, do not interrupt; even if delayed by other matters, make up for it as soon as possible. Before you transform , impermanence follows closely. If impermanence arrives, are you prepared for its arrival at any time? The work you do should have someone who can take over; this is responsibility. [[BLOCK_0]] What can be accomplished today should be finished today; this is the matter of the laws of karma and cause and effect. Day by day, continue the sequence; with diligent practice in your daily practice, there is no rest in saving sentient beings. [[BLOCK_1]] Water the Western lotus daily, with a firm heart and mind, continue moving forward. If there is slowness or lack of progress, the Western lotus can also perceive it, appearing weak and losing its colour. You should be vigilant; simply catch up immediately. There are times of progress and retreat, where the Western lotus remains level. There are also times of progress, where the Western lotus stands tall. You must continue to progress! [[BLOCK_2]] Child, you should know, Regarding your Body, Speech, and Mind at Hsiang Kuang: A Sacred Sanctuary and the intention behind your actions, the Western lotus can perceive and manifest it. You must water it diligently; if anger arises, the Western lotus will be like leaves scorched and blackened by fire. Only when there is purification can new leaves grow. [[BLOCK_3]] Only when today's tasks are accomplished is there an opportunity to continue. If today's tasks are not accomplished, there will be stagnation. You should encourage yourself! [[BLOCK_4]] Do not forget to constantly hold the Buddha-name; the busier you are, the more you must not forget the Buddha. Chant the Buddha's name while walking, save sentient beings according to conditions; once it enters the ear, it becomes a seed for the Path forever. You can chant the Buddha's name while doing things, allowing tasks to proceed smoothly so that they can be accomplished today or by the expected date! [[BLOCK_5]] In your environment, chanting then becomes a continuous, flowing stream that never stops, which is for the purification of the environment and to widely save those connected by karmic affinity. This is because once the Buddha-name enters the ear, it becomes a seed for the Path forever. Namo Amituofo
