In the early part of the nineteenth century, Master Yin-Guang
dedicated himself to advocating teaching on the Law of Cause and
Effect. When Master Yin-Guang was at Pu-tuo Mountain, the citizens
of Ding-Hai County invited him to give Dharma talks there. Due to
his very heavy native accent, Master Yin-Guang sent another Dharma
master in his place to give the lecture. What sutra was lectured
on? The Guidance to
Hidden Merits of Wen-Chang Di Jun. It is surprising that the
material chosen was a Taoist text rather than a Buddhist sutra.
Throughout Master
Yin-Guang's life, he especially advocated Liao-Fan's Four Lessons
and the Treatise on Response and Retribution. Both during
his lifetime and after, he was often criticized for doing so. But
these were only viewpoints of ordinary people.
Every word and every passage in the Treatise on Response and
Retribution and the Guidance to the Hidden Merits explains the Five
Fundamental Precepts and the Ten Good Conducts. The Five Precepts
and the Ten Good Conducts are the foundation in Buddhism (and in
almost every religion and faith system). If we do not abide by
them, then we are on a deviated path. No matter which method we
practice, whether we are a novice, an Arhat or a Bodhisattva, if we
do not abide by these, then we are on a deviated path. Then how can
this be called Buddhism?
The Treatise on Response and Retribution and the Guidance to
Hidden Merits are good reference materials, which provide a
complete and practical explanation of the Five Precepts and the Ten
Good Conducts. Master Yin-Guang understood that in our time, this
world would face major chaos and disasters. There is only one way
for us to avoid these disasters. It is to help every sentient being
become awakened, to refrain from wrongdoing and practice good
deeds. In this way, even if the disasters cannot be totally
eliminated, their frequency and severity can be reduced. This can
be done.
Compilation of Response and Retribution, the Complete Book of
Mr. Chou and Liao-Fan's Four Lessons. Master Yin-Guang used these three
books to help us make up for our deficiencies in abiding by the
precepts.
