Teachings by Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju:

Practice values focus and precision, and the vow and action to diligently seek the Dharma must not retreat.

Do not become discouraged or slacken because of the manifestation of karma, personality traits remaining unchanged, or the condition of falling into a drowsy state in space not improving.

Know that when the personality traits of past lives and the karma of karmic creditors manifest, it is precisely the time to transform your character and turn a crisis

into a turning point.

By not violating the Precepts and ascending upward, you will progress further than before.

The method of diligent practice for students of Hsiang Kuang Pure Land Buddhist Centre:

1. In the Amitabha Buddha's discourse, learn the shortcut to achieving success in Pure Land practice;

in the Teacher’s Teachings, recognise the faults or improper aspects of your practice,

and be able to correct them immediately to progress;

be able to listen to the experiences of Practitioner Su while listening to sutras and hear the Dharma, and accept the transmission of those experiences.

1. Be able to dissolve karma and resolve obstacles through diligent daily practice and prostrations;

cultivate the Three Learnings and Six Paramitas simultaneously while chanting the Buddha's name;

uphold the Precepts, cultivate meditative concentration, and develop wisdom while reciting the Sutras, without seeking to understand the meaning, yet naturally opening your heart and resolving your doubts.

1. In the process of resolving conflicts and performing Chao Du for invited spirits, recognise that past spiritual obstacles are heavy.

When karma manifests at this time, one must be even more humble and modest.

Everyone else is correct; only I need to improve, and truly improve.

By dissolving karma and reducing sins in this process, karmic creditors will naturally be willing to resolve conflicts with you.

This is the way for one who is diligent in changing their personality traits and repenting.

1. Cease greed by upholding the Precepts, extinguish anger by maintaining meditative concentration, and break through delusion by developing wisdom.

This is one who has achieved success in diligent practice.

1. Being able to chant one Buddha's name to the end, and maintaining diligent practice 24/7,

will be one who has achieved success in diligent practice.
