- Wherever Whatever Whenever and Whoever You Are . . .

Whether you are a monastic or a layperson, respect your superiors and be in harmony with your peers and subordinates.

Endure what others cannot endure; do what others cannot do.

Help others to accomplish their good deeds.

Always reflect on your faults in meditation. Do not indulge in idle chatter or gossip. Idle chatter and frivolous talk are just a waste of energy. Your limited time is more precious than the rarest of gems.

Whether walking, standing, sitting, lying down, dressing or eating, from dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn, recite the Buddha’s name without a moment’s lapse.

Whether reciting softly or silently, focus on the Buddha’s name to the exclusion of all other thoughts.

As soon as a false thought arise, let it cease and disappear.

Always maintain an attitude of remorse and repentance.

Although you are cultivating, think of your skill as being very shallow and avoid becoming arrogant.

Only mind your own business; do not meddle in the business of others.

Observe worthy examples and ignore unworthy ones.

Regard everyone as Bodhisattva, and only I am a common person.

          “Avoid all evil,

Practice all good,

And purify your mind;

This is what Buddhas teach.”

Namo Amitabha Buddha! Amitabha Buddha!
