SPIRITUAL WORK AND RELATIONSHIP

33KuanYin 33

OM MANI PADME HUM

Spiritual work is complex and difficult to understand. Even when one is sincerely doing service to others, yet there will be problems due to misunderstanding which causes doubts and even unhappiness.

PATIENTLY TRANSCENDING SUFFERINGS, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY

33KuanYin 32

OM MANI PADME HUM

The way to Enlightenment is long, very very long! It has numberless obstacles, all kinds of obstacles, from pleasant to great difficulty. Yet each being is journeying towards it all the time.

LEARNING FROM LIFE’S BECOMING OF HAPPINESS AND SUFFERINGS

33KuanYin 31

OM MANI PADME HUM

A year of learning is before you. See not only the miseries of those who are suffering but their causes of suffering, and then develop the idea of renunciation from samsaric attachments.

PEACE OF MIND

33KuanYin 30

OM MANI PADME HUM

The way to gaining peace of mind is to search within, with patience. The mind must be quelled and freed of disturbing thoughts, must be put to strict discipline so that all kinds of rebellions must be stopped by effort.

YEAR OF LEARNING AND EXPERIENCING

33KuanYin 29

OM MANI PADME HUM

There are ways to make worship meaningful and long lasting, there are ways to make progress steadily but only when one is fixed in his aim that this is possible. How many really hope to work towards selflessness and strife to do his best to attain this state of being?

CHALLENGES, MOTIVATIONS AND COMMITMENTS OF A CULTIVATOR

33KuanYin 28

OM MANI PADME HUM

Seeking the way to attain meaning in worship is difficult if you are only praying for the well-being of yourself and for those who are close to you. To have such a desire is not to be considered as charitable at heart or holy in intentions.

ALL DEVELOPED AND ENLIGHTENED BEINGS SHARE THE SAME ESSENCE

33KuanYin 27

OM MANI PADME HUM

There are times when prayers should also be offered by all to the Great Lords who help to found this Order. Although a Buddhist front, yet it was the Great Lords of the Taoist Pantheon who crossed you over to this Path.

UNDERSTAND THE DRAMA OF KARMA

33KuanYin 26

OM MANI PADME HUM

All kinds of people make the world a very interesting place to live in. All kinds of people make living a great experience. Those who can see each kind of being as part of the whole, will not discriminate or be attached to them. Then they are able to understand why all must co-exist in order that the whole be maintained.

RIGHT APPROACH TO PRACTISE

33KuanYin 25

OM MANI PADME HUM

The surest way of success in practice is to go at the pace that is best suited to you. Daily practice is necessary but it needs not be as how others practise in terms of manners of worship and time spent.

LIFE ITSELF IS A MIRACLE

33KuanYin 24

OM MANI PADME HUM

No great experience needs to be expected just because one recites the Buddha’s name. This is the expectation of many and therefore they easily become disheartened and disillusioned so that their practice is often short-lived.
