真誠 Sincerity
Every morning, I will start my day anew & fresh.
As I look into the mirror, I will smile and say, “Today, I will treat everyone with a sincere heart.
I will take the initiative to offer my sincerity first.
清靜 Purity
When I make my sincere bows to the Buddha, I am awakening the Buddha-nature within me.
I remind myself that “Today, my innate Buddha will be my guide. Before I response to any of my life calls,
I will pause and listen to what my innate Buddha has to say, and will take his instructions and execute them."
I will listen to the Buddha's voice within me, “Now you have to stay calm and focused, or else you will not hear me.
Remember, distractions will give you bad connections.”
平等 Equality
As I arrive to work, school, or (anywhere) and make my entrance, I tell myself, “Now, go and regard these people as I would regard yourself. If I wish not to be treated in certain way, then I will not do it to others; Remind myself that I should be kind and sincere.”
正覺 Awareness (Proper Understanding)
When situations or problems come to me, I will listen with attentive ears and with awareness, recalling on what Buddha taught me.
慈悲 Compassion
I am to offer my compassion. I will do my best to not give in to anger and frustration. If I do, I'm just as ordinary as
the others.
This is how the world is today. People are unaware of what they are doing.
看破 Seeing Through
The world is built on each individual’s cause and effect. As everything changes and is illusive,
the law of causality is not.
Every person is and will be responsible for his/her actions. This law is unchangeable.
If I believe in this law without any doubts, it will help me comprehend the phenomena of life.
放下 Letting Go
As I gradually understands the phenomena, I will start to have lesser attachments.
自在 At Ease
The lesser my attachment the more liberated my mind feels.
Less mind distraction equals to more mind concentration.
The thought of “self” will become less; Less of “self” more of “others.”
隨緣 Accord With and Rejoice Conditions
When I put others' concerns before my own, I can accord with conditions better and easier.
I can rejoice in other’s deeds without having any negative emotions.
念佛 Mindfulness
If I conduct my mind in such way, everyday, the I am with and am communicating with the Buddha.
