Do not Waste the Opportunity
November 14, 2007
Venerable Wuling in Good Fortune, Karma and Causality, Practice, Pure Land

We shall follow the rules set by the Pure Land patriarchs:
be a vegetarian;
be mindful of Buddha;
refrain from committing evil and cultivate good deeds;
know the law of cause and effect; and
cultivate good fortune and nurture virtues
so we can eradicate our karmic obstacles in this life and
attain rebirth in the Pure Land at the end of this life.

This way, we will not waste this lifetime and
this opportunity of being students of the Buddha.

~ Patriarch Yin Guang ~
