In Mahayana practice, my precepts and my practice are not for me: they are only for all beings.
So I keep these precepts not for myself, but to help other beings.
What is the meaning of Sangha, the treasure of Sangha?
Sangha is the ethical side of our life, which means having "correct life."
Correct life comes from your will, from your center.
Many people like to go to fortune tellers because they want to understand their fate, their future or their past. But fortune telling is not difficult. All of you can understand your past and your future.
As we practice, this "for you" mind slowly becomes ours. It is the beginning and the end of the teaching.
Even if you understand all the Buddha’s speech, if you cannot demonstrate this understanding when called upon, it is worth nothing. Dry cognition cannot help your life.
The common source of all suffering, concisely summarized by Zen Master Wu Bong. :)
