Amitabha Buddha's discourse:
The "accumulation" in "cultivating virtue" refers to gathering and accumulating;
"Cultivating" refers to planting and embedding.
Virtue consists of moral character and conduct.
For those walking the path of Bodhisattvas, cultivating virtue is a necessary and important matter.
Virtue is not developed overnight;
"Cultivating virtue" clearly points out that virtue needs to be nurtured, accumulated, and deeply embedded.
Those with true virtue are respected by others.
Their actions of Body, Speech, and Mind are in sync with virtue;
this is a condition that every practitioner should possess.
How does one cultivate virtue?
Do not neglect any detail in daily life;
it reveals whether the subtle aspects can be purified, kept free from pollution, and remain clean and flawless;
furthermore, those who strictly observe the ,
do not commit small transgressions, nor do they neglect small acts of Goodness;
they distance themselves from falsehood and are true practitioners;
those who accumulate virtue and perform Goodness follow the teachings, acting in accordance with the universal principle, the Truth, and the righteous path,
without violation.
Be cautious and do not engage in matters that damage virtue.
Do not engage in matters that are improper or violate the Precepts, as this harms oneself and others.
Do not create the three karmas of Body, Speech, and Mind; do not engage in actions, thoughts, or words that cause afflictions in the hearts of the masses.
Do not let ego-attachment and personal views become so heavy that it becomes difficult to harmonise with the masses.
These are just a few examples.
Practitioners should fear that they are not cultivating enough virtue, and must avoid matters that damage it,
such as violating the Precepts, improper Body, Speech, and Mind, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, and the temptations of wealth, lust, fame, food, and sleep.
One must be cautious, distance oneself from, or sever these!
