Master YongHua's Teaching During GuanYin Qi 2025

Ordinary people, when they encounter problems, become afflicted. When issues arise, they tend to get angry or depressed — their minds start to move. Instead of falling prey to your afflictions, you should recite Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s name. When you feel unhappy, vexed, or afflicted, recite Guan Yin’s name until your mind calms down.
When you are afflicted, recite her name to regain calmness.
You should recite with one mind only, meaning your mind focuses solely on Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s name. If you keep practicing this, you will gradually train yourself to become single-minded.
When you are angry, keep reciting the Bodhisattva’s name until the anger subsides. Don’t expect the anger to disappear right away. Don’t give up — continue reciting until the anger is completely gone. You must develop this skill through patience and repetition.
What is single-mindedness?
If you practice long enough, even when you see someone you hate deeply, the thought of hatred will no longer arise. But if you do not recite the Bodhisattva’s name, anger will easily arise.

Master YongHua's Teaching During Fo Qi 2024

"Ordinary people are always looking outside and base their happiness on external things while you are learning to look inside. When you learn to look inside, you'll find things you don't like. If you are serious about improving yourself, you naturally will drop the things that you don't like. That's how you improve. And only you know that. It's not meant for anyone else to praise or reward you for that. That's why it's called cultivation. It's a private thing. It's your personal life.

That's how you choose to live your life being true to yourself.
If you drop more, you get more. For you to get there, there are certain things you need to drop. You need to make sacrifices. If you make the proper sacrifices, you will make progress."
-Master YongHua

Master YongHua's Teaching from The Avatamsaka Sutra - Prologue - 20251205

"When you are afflicted - let’s say you are depressed - do not become a victim of your negative state. Instead, recognize it: “I am unhappy right now, and this is not getting me anywhere.” When you are deeply afflicted, turn to the sound of the Dharma. This serves as an antidote. The sound of the Dharma can stop your depression, your worries, and your afflictions. Belief in the Dharma can restore joy in your life. It is a way to reconnect with your true self."
-Master YongHua
