Exhortation and Encouragement on the Path of Practice
Teachings from Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju
If you truly wish to embark upon the path of practice, you must understand the necessity of diligent practice. This magnificent affinity that has brought us together is rare and precious; you must cherish it deeply. To encounter this path in this lifetime is a blessing beyond words. I urge all practitioners to clearly understand the great meaning of this life and the purpose of our existence.
The Rarity of Our Magnificent Dharma Affinity
You must constantly encourage yourself and sharpen your resolve to move forward. Do not let a single second pass in vain; treat every day as if it were as precious as gold. All the treasures of this world are not worth even a fraction of the value of this practice. Within the assembly of Namo Amituofo, all beings have gathered to seek the ultimate Truth.
The Golden Value of Every Passing Moment
The teachings shared by Practitioner Su flow like a vast ocean. You should cherish every single sentence, just as you must cherish the words of the Buddha himself. Our worldly experiences are bound by the of the cycle of rebirth. You must contemplate how to escape this cycle, ensuring that your are saved and liberated alongside you.
Transcending the Cycle of Rebirth
To leave home is to abandon worldly attachments; to leave desire is to abandon all delusions. Do not allow yourself to be swayed by worldly emotions; instead, keep your heart true and dedicated to the welfare of all beings. If you wish to seek the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, you must be able to uphold the pure . Only then will meditative concentration arise, which in turn opens the door to the manifestation of true Wisdom.
The Manifestation of True Wisdom
By maintaining this focus and dedication, you will find the strength to transcend the mundane world. Let your practice be a beacon of light, guiding not only yourself but all suffering beings toward the of Ultimate Bliss. This message was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
