Words of Encouragement to Disciples

Believe in the Buddha, learn the Dharma, respect the Sangha;
Triple gem is the bright lamp of ten thousand generations.
Uplift the quality of mankind;
Establish the pure land in the human world.
First, understand grace and the repayment of grace;
To benefit others is to benefit oneself.
To make one's best effort is the highest virtue;
Don't create difference between one another or argue for more or less.
Compassion has no enemy;
Wisdom induces no defilements.
The busy man has the most time;
The diligent man has the best health.
For tilling widely the field of merits,
We have no complaint despite hardships and criticism.
Those who can give are blessed;
Those who can do goodness are happy.
Have Dharma joy in mind from time to time;
Do not depart from Chan pleasure from moment to moment.
Everywhere is Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva;
Every sound is the Amithaba Buddha.
