Teachings by Teacher Practitioner Xia Lianju:

Educating the cells within the body and sentient beings with compassion and wisdom is the conduct of a wise person.

The cells within the body and sentient beings are those with karmic affinity from accumulated lifetimes.

In this lifetime, they are able to manifest during the period when Namo Amituofo, this Teacher, and Practitioner Su are together,

and through karmic conditions and the causes and effects, they are able to manifest and have the opportunity to receive Chao Du,

which is their great fortune and blessing!

Chanting one Buddha's name to the end is the fastest and most effective method to "educate the cells within the body and sentient beings with compassion and wisdom".

With the Buddha-name uninterrupted 24/7, the cells within the body and sentient beings are bathed in the Buddha-name 24/7, receiving the Buddha's compassion and Buddha's blessings,

and while increasing one's own wisdom, virtues, and auspicious characteristics,

one is also helping the cells within the body and sentient beings to increase their wisdom, virtues, and auspicious characteristics.

Compassion is seeing the suffering of beings, desiring for beings to leave suffering behind, and is the heart, vow, and practice of relieving the suffering of beings.

Wisdom is the Prajna wisdom that arises from Precepts (Discipline), Concentration and Wisdom,

within the perfection of the Six Perfections,

it manifests the skills to attain Buddhahood and be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Compassion and wisdom are the natural true self that manifests under the condition of being pure upon pure, and good upon good.

When compassion and wisdom manifest, the beings that can be saved are immeasurable and boundless.

Educating the cells within the body and sentient beings with compassion and wisdom is just like educating a child.

With a heart of utmost sincerity and earnestness, pay attention to your every thought and intention at any time and place.

When unwholesome Body, Speech, and Mind manifest, you should be self-aware and tell yourself:

"You must not do this; this is not right, this is not good. You should see what is good, think what is good, and speak what is good."

Do not let seeing what is bad, speaking what is bad, and thinking what is bad pollute your pure heart; just like educating a child, educate the cells within the body and sentient beings.

For many people, this is an unfamiliar behaviour,

but it is a skill that a practitioner must possess.

If one can execute this truthfully, it can help the practitioner see their true nature early.

At the same time, it also helps the cells within the body and sentient beings to undergo purification, remove defilements, and see their true nature.

At this time, the whole body becomes transparent, and the skin, pores, and all the cells together see their true nature and attain Buddhahood, which is a joyous and congratulatory matter.
