| The illustrated Jing Si Aphorisms |
| Translated by E E Ho and W.L. Rathje; drawings by Tsai Chih-chung; coloring by May E. Gu |
The Buddha says: My disciples! You must always hear, ponder, and practice the Dharma that I have taught you. Never abandon it. If you cultivate yourselves the way I taught you, you will gain good fortune and happiness.
In everything you say and do, you must concentrate and persevere.
Whenever you do something, you should only think about that thing. With an undistracted mind, you can persevere and make progress.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At most temples in Taiwan, people burn incense and worship deities. Why don’t Tzu Chi members do this? Those who burn incense and worship deities are not necessarily proper Buddhists. True Buddhism emphasizes the spiritual life and reveals the innate buddha-nature in all people.
