ON MORALITY
THE WAY OF CULTIVATION
In addition, the collection of Great Treasures [Da Bao Ji Jing] advises, “Do not lead others astray; reconcile with who cannot get along with others; study adequately, and avoid double-tongued people”. According to the Sutra of the Buddha of infinite life, “Coarse language harms oneself and others - it is harmful to all. Cultivating and using good language benefits oneself and others - it is mutually beneficial”. The Sutra of Illuminating Light [Chu Yo Jing] states, ” Those who harm others will themself be harmed; those who complain about others will themself be complained about; those who curse others will themself be cursed; those who attack others will themself be attacked”. The Surata Sutra Discoursed by the Buddha [Surataparipiccna Sutra] also asserts, “Deception is the root of all unwholesomeness. Cutting off wholesome deeds results in the accumulation of suffering. How does it profit a person to lie?” Morality is our path of cultivation.
