Buddhist Dharma can bring lots of positive characteristics into our hearts. Replace worries with right perceptions, replace pessimism with blessings, and break through the thinking pattern of an ordinary person. When we take refuge in the Buddha, He will light up our path like brilliant, bright light.

Learning from the Admonishments
The Buddha’s enlightenment about birth, old age, sickness and death aspired Him to seek liberation. Likewise, we should let go of delusions and fragility and make up our minds to bring about the potential of cultivation.

Take refuge in the Buddha, and enlightenment may prevent us from the misfortune of ignorance.
Take refuge in the Dharma, and ask for the right Dharma to abide in our minds so that we won’t have fears in this life.
Take refuge in the Sangha, and the silent, peaceful abiding can bring us to the pure, liberated realm.

Manjusri, “Water flows downward. And, Manjusri, so does the Bodhisattva without arrogance who draws near to all kinds of wisdom.”

The Buddha tells Manjusri, “When it’s windless, the fragrance of the mandara spreads everywhere within seven miles. Thus, Manjusri, the Bodhisattva with skillful means applies his root of wisdom that seeks no merits to spread the merciful fragrance on all sentient beings.”

My empty body stays in the secular world, and the blossoms of wisdom are my clothing. My feet make steps of equal flow, and my hands uphold the Buddha.

Heal the afflictions that restrain your mind. You can recite Buddhas’ names and meditate at the same time. Take refuge with the sheer faith. Take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
