Some of you have experienced this as well \u2014 that even we have sincerely repented, we still fall into the cycle of ‘repenting again and again, yet committing the same mistakes again and again.’ Why does this happen? When we repent, we acknowledge our mistakes and, at that point, resolve to change for the better. But due to our deep-rooted karma and habits, it’s often not possible to become completely purified with just one act of repentance. That is why, even though our repentance is genuine and sincere, it is still very difficult to for us to change our behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a passage from the Venerable Master\u2019s instructional talk on this topic. The Master said, \u201cAfter repenting, one must never break the precepts again. If you keep repenting yet repeatedly commit the same offenses, treating it like a game, then what is the point? If you don\u2019t treat the matter seriously, and regard repentance as something casual \u2014 thinking that just speaking out a few words about your offense in front of others will erase your karmic offenses \u2014 that is just a foolish thinking. Things are not that simple. Once you\u2019ve repented, you must vow: \u2018All that was of the past has died away like yesterday, and all that is of the future is born anew like today.\u2019 Only by never committing the offense again can our karma truly be eradicated. Everyone must understand this clearly.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do we want to repent? It\u2019s because we become aware of how heavy our evil karma has become, and we hope that through repentance, our karmic obstacles can be lessened and our body and mind can be purified. Indeed, if we repent sincerely, our physical health can improve, and our mind can feel much happier and more at ease. It\u2019s a state of moving from darkness into brightness. Just a few days ago during lunchtime, VM has said in the tape lecture that some people who were sick recovered after bowing to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Jeweled Repentance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in fact, repentance is not merely admitting one\u2019s mistakes \u2014 it also involves taking responsibility and facing the consequences. That is why, in the instructional talk that I have just read from the Venerable Master emphasized that karmic offenses don\u2019t just disappear immediately after we repent. It\u2019s not that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, while repentance is important, today we also want to explore \u2014 aside from bowing in repentance before the Buddhas and sincerely asking for forgiveness \u2014 what other methods can we use to support and strengthen our practice. Besides repenting, how can we use these additional approaches to truly transform our bad habits and unwholesome tendencies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In N\u0101g\u0101rjuna Bodhisattva\u2019s Middle Way Shastra<\/em>, it is mentioned that ‘karma is empty in nature.’ However, since sentient beings are attached to the notion of a self, they solidify karma as something real and concrete, which leads to habitual repetition. Therefore, from this single line by N\u0101g\u0101rjuna Bodhisattva, we begin to understand why we tend to repeat our mistakes \u2014 even when we sincerely wish to change. It is because our attachment to the self is too strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, we need to eliminate the self-attachment. As long as we do not let go of it, it will be difficult to achieve true and pure repentance. But what exactly is this self-attachment? Self-attachment arises because sentient beings are deluded by the functioning and coming together of the five skandhas<\/em>, and mistakenly believe that this current ‘self’ can exist forever. That is to say, self-attachment is our deluded and stubborn clinging to the idea that the ‘I’ is a real, solid, and truly existing entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we must understand that the Buddha has already taught us that the ‘self’ we often believe in is, in fact, nothing more than a temporary coming together of causes and conditions \u2014 a combination of the Four Great Elements. It is impermanent. At any point, if the conditions disperse, the Four Elements will return to the Dharma realm. There has never been any true, solid ‘entity’ at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens to someone with strong self-attachment? They approach everything from the standpoint of the ‘I’ \u2014 taking all benefits for themselves while pushing all blame onto others. They fight for power and personal gain, even go so far as to slander or attack others. This is the result of a self-centered mode of thinking. When interactions between people are driven by this ‘I’, it is very easy to create bad karma. Once the self-attachment becomes strong, no matter how much you repent, it is still easy to fall back into the same patterns \u2014 you have done the act of repentance, and soon after, you’re again living a life of chaos, getting into conflicts and arguments every day. Even if there\u2019s no actual argument with others, your mind remains unsettled \u2014 and that is something we cannot deceive ourselves about. However, letting go of self-attachment is not easy at all, because self-attachment is the very root of birth and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that aside from bowing repentance, we should also recite the Buddha\u2019s name more often, sit in meditation more regularly, and try to talk less and engage lesser in casual conversation. In order to gradually let go of our self-attachment, we must first maintain proper mindfulness at all times. That means, outside of our formal repentance sessions, we should try our best to keep our awareness sharp. If we like to chat a lot, the more we talk, the more excited we become \u2014 and the more scattered our minds get. Eventually, our thoughts become fuzzy and unclear. But if we use that time to quietly recite the Buddha\u2019s name in our minds, whether during rest time or while doing other works, then as we go silent, internally we gradually become peaceful and calm as well. Just think about it: when both body and mind have reached a state of peace, would you still have the urge to stir up trouble? Would you still wish to create evil karma? Would you feel like provoking the people around you? Not only would you not want to \u2014 even if others said or did something toward you, you\u2019d be so focused that you might not even notice it. Or perhaps you’d still hear and see it, but you wouldn\u2019t feel the need to respond or get involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the practice of meditation, one key point worth mentioning is this: many times, we rely solely on willpower to control ourselves. But if our willpower is not strong enough, and we continue to engage in rumination \u2014 that is, repetitive, looping thoughts \u2014 it can actually lead to a draining of the self. This kind of mental habit will lead us into a state of physical and emotional exhaustion. Rumination refers to the repetitive reviewing of our past events, often accompanied by negative emotions such as sadness, guilt, or anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if we begin to sit in meditation, it can actually help shift our attention away from constant self-monitoring and redirect it to something very basic, like just focusing on our breath. Gradually, we stop relying so much on the forceful control of the sixth consciousness. Instead, we start to see the true nature of all phenomena through the wisdom that naturally arises, as sitting in meditation will increase our wisdom in a long run. And from that clarity, letting go becomes something that happens naturally, not something we have to force. Only when we can reach this state can our repentance be considered true repentance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding the practice of reciting the Buddha\u2019s name \u2014 if we can cultivate the habit of constantly reciting the Buddha\u2019s name throughout the day, or develop the habit of sitting in meditation whenever we have free time, then over time, these wholesome habits begin to replace our previous bad habits and karmic patterns. There is scientific evidence supporting that the part of the brain responsible for habit formation \u2014 requires around 66 days of consistent reinforcement to establish a new habit. In other words, if you want to adopt a new positive habit \u2014 for example, sitting in meditation for an hour every night before bed \u2014 then you need to stick with it for at least 66 consecutive days. If you can successfully achieve that, the behavior will become your second nature. You won\u2019t have to force yourself anymore; it will become automatic. That is when you know the habit has truly taken root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when it comes to changing our bad habits, we should start with the small ones \u2014 the tiny habits. If we can go 66 days without falling back into the old unwholesome habit, the chances of truly changing it become much greater. That is why we can set goals: aim to transform one bad habit in 66 days, and then check in with ourselves after the 66 days. If we feel that the change is not solid yet, we can reinforce it with another 66 days. By reshaping our body\u2019s muscle memory in this way, gradually and steadily, real transformation becomes possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In fact, when we participate in a full session of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Jeweled Repentance, including the morning and evening ceremonies, we are actually practicing almost all of these ten methods. But today, I just want to emphasize on a few approaches that are perhaps more accessible and sustainable for people who lead a busy, modern lives, that is reciting the Buddha\u2019s name frequently, meditating diligently, speaking less, and maintaining proper mindfulness at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here I am wishing everyone diligently bow in repentance, and may you soon attain purity in body and mind, and always be filled with Dharma joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
