Constantly transform your thoughts Constantly work hard on transforming your thoughts. In every action, watch your mind and transform your thought. When greed arises, meditate on impurity; when arrogance arises, meditate on non-self. The moment a thought arises, transform it without delay, and your practice will improve.

You hate him. In fact, you hate the wrong person. That "he" does not exist at all. It is a "he" who you imagine.

Generate renunciation first, and then Bodhicitta Only after generating renunciation, will one think of how to save others from the mire or the house on fire. Without a true and strong aspiration to escape from samsara, how can one think of saving others? For a beginner Bodhisattva, it’s essential to first generate renunciation and then Bodhicitta. This sequence can’t be surpassed.

Practice is actually very simple. Just like a scientist, after he understands the theory, he conducts experiments everyday. Treat your body and mind as the most sophisticated laboratory and a precise instrument. Watch all its operations. Watch its motivation, thoughts, as well as the deep habitual responses and attachments.

Obstacles are in our own mind, not from the outside world. We should not become attached to physical objects.

Those convinced of cause and effect are not gossipy or critical. People who believe in cause and effect will not talk nonsense or pick on others' faults.

On your journey to truth, you will meet two barriers: giving up halfway and never getting started.

Guidelines for raising good kids 我們對自己的孩子好，其實也是一種自私的心，是一種動物的本能。 In fact, being good to children is a kind of selfishness, is a kind of animal instinct.

老鼠對自己的孩子都很好啊，人類不能也像動物一樣，只知道對自己的孩子好，不知道對父母好，那肯定是一代不如一代。 Mice are also nice to their children, if people, like animals, only care for their children, not for their parents, this will definitely get worse in each generation.

中國文化就是講恩，感恩念恩，夫妻之間也是講恩，對父母也是講恩， Chinese culture is all about being grateful, recognizing kindness, and repaying that kindness with gratitude, which extends to husband and wife, as well as their parents.

不懂得念恩的人，自己的根就會出問題。 People who do not know how to repay kindness with gratitude, their roots will have problems. ——Yimingpureland Academy Center
