🏵 Cultivating the Bodhi Path 🏵
~ By Venerable Master Hsuan Hua ~
At all times be attentive; at all times be cautious. Do not slack off for even a single second. Leave no good undone, no matter how small; and do no evil, no matter how minute. Diligently cultivate the Bodhi Path; purify and transform the gates of the three karmas. Increase your blessings and wisdom, plant and nurture your good roots. Irrigate the field of mind; moisten and nourish your body with virtue so that you can withstand unforeseen misfortunes. Take them in stride and remain unmoved; understand and recognize them so that no anger arises.
A verse says,
The great Path of Bodhi is straight as can be.
Do not be crooked or rely on luck.
With a true mind seek the Dharma,
there will certainly be a response.
Going through the motions halfheartedly,
you are just wasting time.
Use courage, vigor and patience; never retreat.
Giving and holding Precepts garners wisdom.
One day you will perfect the paramitas.
Who has wisdom is the Buddha. Studying the Buddhadharma is just the study of wisdom. The Buddha's wisdom is extremely great, and Buddhist disciples want to learnhow holding the Precepts.
The Buddha is one of great wisdom. We want to destroy ignorance. Wisdom is the Buddha; lack of wisdom is a demon.
Become demons because lack of wisdom and they harbor hatred and anger. Demons have anger; Buddhas have kindness and compassion. Demons also have an asura-like, fighting nature. But the Buddhas don't fight. They have wisdom. They don't have even a trace of stupidity. They are a treasury of great clarity and understanding. This has been a general explanation of the word "Buddha."
