quote[0]="1. The ultimate principle of Buddhism is that every human being can become a Buddha. All living beings were our parents in our past lives, and they are also the Buddhas of the future. When we bear hatred against any living being, it is as if we bear hatred against our own parents and future Buddhas. We become unruly persons of no virtue and no filiality."
quote[1]="2. I regard Buddhism as the \"religion of all living beings,\" because no one is outside the Dharma realm and everyone is a living being. Therefore, Buddhism is the religion for every living being to learn."
quote[2]="3. I also regard Buddhism as the \"religion for all human beings\" since every human being is capable of becoming a Buddha. Anyone who devotes himself to cultivation will eventually become a Buddha."
quote[3]="4. I would rename Buddhism \"the religion of the mind,\" since all human beings have minds. People cultivate to get rid of the false mind and retain the true mind. One who has the false mind is an ordinary person, and one who has the true mind is a Buddha."
quote[4]="5. Sexual desire is the root of birth and death. If one's sexual desire is not severed, one cannot be reborn in the heavenly realm, not to mention attaining unsurpassed Buddhahood. Therefore, if one wants to cultivate samadhi, or to end the sufferings of birth and death, one must sever sexual desire first."
quote[5]="6. If one wants to bring forth the Bodhi mind, one must listen to the Buddha-dharma frequently. After the Buddha-dharma is realized and understood, one will naturally bring forth the Bodhi mind."
quote[6]="7. Buddhism is within all space, and it fills all the Dharma realm. All living beings have the Buddha-nature, thus, all can become Buddhas. If you do not believe in Buddhism now -- in the future you will. If in the future you do not, you will in your next life. Not only will you believe in Buddhism, you can become a Buddha."
quote[7]="8. The Shurangama Mantra is the king of mantras and the longest of all. This mantra is directly tied to the flourishing and decline of Buddhism in its entirety. As long as there is a single person upholding the Shurangama Mantra, the Proper Dharma will exist in the world. If no one upholds the Shurangama Mantra, there is no Proper Dharma. The Shurangama Mantra is spoken by the transformation body of the Tathagata in the light atop the Buddha\'s crown. It is therefore inconceivable. Every word is wonderful and profound in itself."
quote[8]="9. During the Dharma Ending Age, all heavenly demons, externalists, goblins, and monsters fear the Shurangama Mantra. The Shurangama Mantra is the spiritual mantra which destroys deviant ways and manifests the proper way."
quote[9]="10. Everyone cultivates during the Proper Dharma Age, but no one cultivates during the Dharma Ending Age. If everyone cultivates, the Dharma Ending Age can be transformed to the Proper Dharma Age."
quote[10]="11. What is the Buddhadharma? Generally speaking, it is a key. As we lecture on the Sutras, we are speaking of this key. While we talk about Dharma, we are speaking about this key. This key of wisdom can open the lock of ignorance."
quote[11]="12. The Buddha-dharma is still in the world. We have a chance to courageously climb out of the treacherous current. We can bring forth a great resolve for Bodhi and cultivate the Buddhadharma with the utmost sincerity. In that way we have to opportunity to leave this Saha world. Otherwise, we will remain in the Six Paths, turning without cease and never getting liberated from suffering."
