In October 2023, a fellow cultivator asked me if I would apply to receive the Lay Bodhisattva precepts at CTTB in 2024. At the time, I felt I was not yet ready. Later, Madalena Tan initiated a call to receive the Bodhisattva precepts at CTTB and formed a group for this purpose. I happened to hear Dharma Master Jin Yong mention the topic of receiving the Bodhisattva precepts in a Dharma talk. He said that after a person’s life ends, the substance of the five precepts will disappear, but that of the Bodhisattva precepts will not disappear. This moved me, so I signed up to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 5, 2024, I arrived at CTTB alone, which was my second time there. The first time was with a group from Hong Kong organized by Dharma Master Heng Mao, where all the transportation and accommodations were taken care of. This time was different – I had to solve all the problems myself, but everything went smoothly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the afternoon of July 7th, around 150 women gathered in the meeting room of the Ksitigarbha Hall for registration, while about 93 men were arranged elsewhere. The meeting room was newly renovated with a modern feel and air conditioning. Dharma Master Syun said this was the best classroom environment ever, and we should cherish it. She mentioned that when the Venerable Master was alive, he asked everyone to bow for four hours every day. She hoped we would seize the two time periods: 5-6 am for bowing vows and 1-2 pm for bowing the Great Compassion Repentance. The most important thing is to repent sincerely from the heart and purify ourselves completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our class schedule was 7-9 am, 2-5 pm, and 7-9 pm daily. Over 6 days, eight Dharma Masters and three translator Dharma Masters taught us. Dharma Master Jin Gwo mentioned that when visiting the sick, what state of mind should one have? If one feels disgusted by the patient’s excrements and shows impatience, it is a violation of precepts. Dharma Master Heng Gui said that when studying Buddhism, one cannot be hypocritical or crooked – one must sincerely seek the Dharma to have a response. Why can’t we bring forth the Bodhi resolve? Because we lack good roots or our good roots are insufficient. Good roots are our Dharma body and a good foundation, which we must plant in front of the Three Jewels. Upholding precepts is laying a foundation, making it solid with right concentration. Dharma Master Heng Shi said that if we don’t respect the Dharma, don’t uphold the precepts and six principles, and don’t use a sincere heart, then no matter what Dharma we cultivate, we won’t succeed. Dharma Master Heng Ju mentioned when lecturing on the precept against stealing that it is a violation to record video or audio at the 42 hands and eyes ceremony. She also explained the meaning of “Sila” as pure and cool. Dharma Master Heng Jue discussed the precept against killing, saying those who don’t eat eggs and meat are losing out now, while those who do will lose out in the future. One must cultivate the Six Paramitas to become a Buddha. Dharma Master Heng Syun spoke on the precept against sexual misconduct, saying that if you don’t engage in sexual misconduct in this life, you won’t have marital problems in the next life. We must maintain the brightness of our cultivation and uphold the precepts as filial piety. Everything the Venerable Masters said and did was pure Dharma, with right knowledge, right views, and the eye of discerning the proper Dharma. Pure Dharma is the pure precept substance, which is the good seed (Buddha-nature). Dharma Master Jin Wei mentioned that just listening to the Venerable Master’s Dharma talks is sufficient – he spoke every kind of Dharma. Now there are many deviant teachers, so we must be careful. When the Venerable Master was alive, he repeatedly asked people to recite the same sutra passage to train everyone’s patience. Dharma Master Heng Jiao said that everything has two sides – it may seem like losing out, but actually it is benefiting. Filial piety is called precepts. Worldly filial piety is visible, while the filial piety of monastics is unworldly and invisible. Each of the eight Dharma Masters had their own unique style and gave brilliant lectures that impressed us deeply. We are grateful to these great wise advisors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started bowing vows at 5 am on July 8th. When I recited “Homage to our fundamental teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha” the second time, I suddenly remembered Dharma Master Syun saying to bring forth a heart of repentance. This made me recall that before I studied Buddhism, I had an abortion. Tears flowed down uncontrollably. After this repentance, I further reflected on killing, stealing, lying, and intoxicants – I had violated all of them. So I repented each one. By the time of the dedication, I felt a subtle sense of lightness and ease. Dharma Master Syun had said that good wise advisors are very important – now I truly understood this saying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the afternoon of July 11th at 5:30 pm, we began transmitting the precepts for the deceased. I requested this for my mother-in-law. Nearly 800 people attended this ceremony. The weather was scorching hot, around 41\u00b0C. We gathered in a tent about the size of a basketball court, with many bowing mats inside. In front was a large Buddha statue, and rows of yellow memorial tablets for those receiving the precepts lined the left side. The venue was solemn. As we began chanting the incense praise, my eyes welled up a bit. But when we read the repentance text, I felt nothing, perhaps due to the three languages used or the heat. Everyone was sweating profusely, wiping sweat and drinking water constantly, which was distracting. It wasn’t until we began chanting the Buddha’s name that Dharma Master Heng Sure loudly said in Chinese, “Focus on chanting the Buddha’s name.” I put away my curiosity and began concentrating. On the second round, tears streamed down uncontrollably. I cried until my palms pressed together felt numb, and my heart started to go numb too. Realizing this could be dangerous, I quickly used my mind to say to the empty space, “Go, don’t worry about me anymore, there’s nothing to be concerned about.” A blurry smiling face seemed to appear briefly, and the numbness in my hands eased. My heart immediately stopped feeling numb. It wasn’t until the merit dedication that Dharma Master Sure again said in Chinese, “The merit is complete!” Only then did I realize the merit was truly complete. I felt an inexpressible gratitude to the greatly virtuous monastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transmission of the Bodhisattva precepts began at 7 am on July 15th. The Buddha Hall’s bells and drums rang out, inviting the three Dharma Masters (Heng Sure, Heng Lai, and Heng Shan). The scene was solemn and extraordinary. The three Dharma Masters each read the precept text once in a different language. Dharma Master Heng Sure read in Chinese first. I began visualizing myself in empty space, with a black ocean beneath my feet and a dark blue sky above. The overall environment felt somewhat oppressive, and my heart felt a bit heavy. Dharma Master Heng Lai read in English next. I visualized water vapor rising into clouds, and words appeared within the clouds: giving, upholding precepts, patience, dhyana, vigor, wisdom, kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Dharma Master Heng Shan read in Vietnamese last. I continued visualizing the clouds with the words turning into sweet dew, sprinkling down on me and pouring in from the crown of my head. At this point, my heart felt light, not heavy at all – perhaps this was receiving the precept substance. Having received the Bodhisattva precepts, I must now practice the Bodhisattva path. We wore small name tags during class to indicate we were precept recipients. The back had a verse by the Venerable Master: “If you serve the others but not yourself, ultimately this is the Buddha’s substance. If you just serve yourself but not the others, this is a wasted life.” The reminder was so apt!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
