As a Buddhst, should you avoid all evil? Of course!
As a Buddhist, should you do all good? Of course!
As a Buddhist, should you purify yourself? Of course!
As a Buddhist, should you be a Bodhisattva? Of course!
As a Buddhist, should you be a Buddha? Of course!
But because we can’t do all of the above immediately,
time is needed for diligent practice, for progress.
We are Buddhists, not Buddhas… yet.
