The Teachings of Great Master Yin Guang

Whether a lay or a left home person, one needs to respect elders and be harmonious with those around him/her. One endures what others cannot and practices what others cannot achieve. One should labor on behalf of others and help them to succeed in their undertakings. While sitting quietly, one reflects upon one's own faults. When chatting with friends, do not discuss the rights and wrongs of others. In every action one makes, whether dressing or eating, from dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn, one recites the Buddha's name.
Aside from Buddha name recitation, whether reciting quietly or silently, one does not give rise to improper thoughts. If wandering thoughts arise, one immediately dismisses them. Constantly maintain a humble and repentant heart; even if one has upheld true cultivation, one still feels their practice is shallow and never boasts. One should mind one's own business and not the business of others. Only see the good examples of others instead of their shortcomings. One would do well to see oneself as ordinary and everyone else as Bodhisattvas. If one can cultivate according to these teachings, one is sure to reach the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Homage to Amitabha!
Amitabha!
