WRITTEN IN THE BOOK: SERENE REFLECTION MEDITATION BY REV. MASTER P.TN.H. jiyu- kennett, m.ob.c.

A THOUGHT TO PONDER:

O MONKS, THERE IS AN UNBORN,
UNDYING, UNCREATED, UNFORMED;
WERE IT NOT, THERE COULD BE NO END
TO BIRTH, DECAY, DISEASE, AND DEATH.

HARD IT IS TO FIND,
THE TRUTH NO EASY THING TO KNOW;
CRAVING IS PIERCED BY ONE WHO SEETH,
NO SELF REMAINS, NO EARTHLY WOES;
FOR HIM; ETERNAL LIFE, SERENE REPOSE.


THE THREE PURE PRECEPTS:

1. CEASE FROM EVIL
2. DO ONLY GOOD
3. DO GOOD FOR OTHERS


10 GREAT PRECEPTS:

1. DO NOT KILL
2. DO NOT STEAL
3. DO NOT COVET
