Learning to be Buddha One Will Become a Buddha, Part 1 of 4 Oct 21, 1989, Santa Ana, CA, USA

We have to deliver ourselves. That fixed karma is hard to change. What is fixed karma? It’s the karmic retribution. To be free from suffering, we have to keep the precepts. Buddha cannot save us. He only shows us the way. Buddha followed the precepts, the way, the law. The Buddha’s precepts are to protect us, so that our life is peaceful. We need to change ourselves, use our spiritual power, our merit to change ourselves. Humans should always move forward, becoming more virtuous and beautiful. Only charity is, only by the power that we naturally acquire through spiritual practice could we solve many problems satisfactorily.
