　　Listen more, speak less.

　　Filial Piety and Respect are the roots of good conduct.

　　Be considerate and kind in your speech. To put-down another person is only proving your own arrogance and lack of self-confidence to others.

　　The root of people”s sufferings and sicknesses is discrimination and attach-ment to unrealistic things. The Bud¬dha”s Teachings tell us how to detach ourselves and not to discriminate. If we listen and practice according to the Teach¬ings, we will be at great ease in this world of con¬fusion.

　　The difference between the success and fail¬ure of cultivation lies in your learning attitude. Be humble, sincere, and respectful. Don”t think you”re on top of everything.

　　To often criticize is not a good matter. We should try to see the good points in others.

　　Practicing virtue is to keep a kind heart, speak kind words, and do kind acts to benefit others.

　　We should cultivate a sincere heart, a pure heart, an equanimous heart, and a great compassionate heart.

　　At a place of proper cultivation, the Teacher guides the way and fellow stu-dents support each other along the way; we should cherish both equally.

　　We must rely upon fellow cultivators to correct our faults. If we cannot accept criticism from others, we will never reach attainment in our cultivation.

　　Learn to use time wisely. When deal-ing with people and matters, be clear of what you”re going to do from be¬ginning to end, don”t waste time daw¬dling around. If time is used wisely, there will be plenty of time left to practice diligence.

　　When we live together at a place of proper cultivation, we must be mutu¬ally respectful as well as harmonious.

　　The Buddha helps those who have af-fin¬ity with Him. The question of affin-ity rests in whether the person accepts the Teachings or not. The Buddha”s compassion and Teachings extend over all living beings, just as the sun shines evenly over the great earth. Those who hide in the shade cannot receive the benefits of the sunshine, just as those who cover themselves in ignorance can¬not benefit from the Buddha”s Teachings.

　　We should truly believe there is heaven and hell. If we practice kind deeds, our future will be in heaven. If we commit evil acts, our future will be in hell.

　　Don”t be jealous of others, you only harm yourself in the process.

　　Wisdom is a must if we truly wish to propagate the Teachings and benefit liv-ing beings. Don”t use emotions when helping others, use wisdom and be rea-sonable. If we use emotions when deal-ing with people and matters, it often makes a good thing go bad.

　　A wise mind is like a mirror, reflecting and perceiving everything clearly with-out distortion.

　　A student of the Buddha should strictly abide by the laws of the nation, society, moral codes, and discipline himself/ herself in the teachings of the Buddha.

　　As our teacher, the Buddha himself took care of the old and sick, and was mindful and ever-ready to help all beings in need. The Buddha”s conduct showed unconditional compassion, set-ting a great example for us to follow.

　　Life is short and fragile, why not cultivate kindness instead of com-mitting acts which cause harm to living beings

　　We should constantly be mindful of the people worried by afflictions, and bring forth the heart to help them. Learn to tie good affinities with others and always be friendly.

　　To help others is to help yourself.

　　To respect others is to respect yourself.

　　People who deceive others may some-day still feel remorseful and can be saved from hell, but those who deceive themselves have no way of escaping at all.

　　If people would sincerely accrue virtues and practice kind deeds, disasters and calamiti…
