Further Reflections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

91:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

With greed for worldy pleasures
and hatred of worldly pain cyclically,
how can there be transcendence for spiritual bliss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

92:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

With clear aspiration for birth in Pure Land,
that transcends the cycle of birth and death,
there is no need to cling to life and fear death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

93:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It is more fortunate to give than to receive
because to receive expends blessings
and to give accumulates blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

94:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A way to perfect generosity
is to give away the excess in time,
to those in need in time,
before life ends in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

95:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

to not just follow bad habits,
but to create good ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bigger challenge is
to not just follow good habits,
but to create better ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
