Teaching of the Kind Mentor

Author: Fafu

Translator : Lotus

People’s expression, attitude, speech and behavior are definitely a kind of arisal of condition, which is good or bad. So we require that our attitude, expression, speech and behavior must be more standardized.

You should keep your heart in happiness, a smile on your face and speak in soft words. What is the reason for this? Because it can enhance your good conditions at all times. You do not know whether your attitude, expression, speech and behavior are creating good condition or bad condition, are improving good conditions or severing good conditions, are increasing bad conditions or cut off bad conditions. Your joyful mind and smiling face can bring happiness to others. In that case, you can be called a benevolent person who has no any obstruction. If your face is clouded over with depression, everyone will be your enemy because no one wants to see you.

Praise the Kind Mentor

I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because you have the excellent power of the Inconceivable Liberation State which can quickly cause us to perfect the practice of the bodhisattvas step by step.

I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor. You have created, with unexpected means, good conditions quietly for us so that we can achieve every benefit both in this world and in the unworldly world.

I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because you are possessed of the majestic merits and virtues. You have not only rid yourself of obstructions but also rid us of obstructions so that we can show a little good in the presence of you.

I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor. No matter how you explain the Dharma, you can make the audience have the best understanding.

I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor; because you share our suffering and destiny just as a billionaire scavenge, together with us, for food in the garbage. How noble you are!

I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because you have endured limitless suffering and paid immeasurable sacrifice in order to plant some roots of good merits for us.

I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because you have showed us, who are living in the defiled world and surrounded by various bad conditions, a way full of wisdom and light-“A person who is more difficult to get along with is better; a person who slanders you heavier is better, because they are the bodhisattvas who want to pull out the suffering of others and they are more important than that kind of bodhisattvas who give bliss. They take away the evil retribution of the karma for you so that you can achieve without cultivating. Their kindness to you is boundless.

I praise you endless, our Kind Mentor, because when you show the meaning of the Dharma precisely and naturally according to the capacities of sentient beings, you bestow on us all power of your aid, vows, merits and virtues, which makes our former good roots blossom and have fruits. This is the fastest way that you bestow on us.

I praise you and are grateful to you because you are inconceivable-“I admire that you have been established in the inconceivable wisdom of skillful means, the inconceivable wisdom of leading and inspiring sentient beings, the inconceivable wisdom of protecting sentient beings, the inconceivable wisdom of mature sentient beings, the inconceivable wisdom of guarding sentient beings, the inconceivable wisdom of saving sentient beings and the inconceivable wisdom of subduing the sentient being…”
