4 First, repaying the generosity of heaven and earth that provide shelter. Their generosity is not of inferior matter. The heaven pours down ambrosia to freshen sentient beings, while the earth bears and nurtures everything. Fasting and refraining from bad habits, abiding by the precepts and understanding the law for the sake of repaying the generosity of heaven and earth. Second, repaying the generosity of The Sun and The Moon who have been shining upon sentient beings. They come to shine their lights upon the universe. Rising from the east and setting in the west is the cycle. Perpetually radiating its light upon all directions. Fasting and refraining from bad habits, abiding by the precepts and realising Buddhatta, for the sake of repaying the generosity of The Sun and The Moon that shine their lights upon sentient beings. Third, repaying the generosity of the Ruler who bestows land and water (provides a country and nurtures the inhabitants therein) and serves his citizens. When the Ruler walks by the truth, there shall be peace in his country. And as the eight directions are in harmony, then sustaining cultivation will be smooth. Fasting and refraining from bad habits, abiding by the precepts, and walks in The Way for the sake of repaying the generosity of land and water from The Ruler. PAGE 4 OF 15

5 Fourth, repaying the generosity of the parents who raise and educate us. Their generosity is that deep as the ocean. As sons and daughters who behave in accordance with The Tao, we shall be mindful of our behaviours. The father represents heaven, and the mother the earth. By respecting them, gods and demons will also respect us too. Fifth, repaying the generosity of the teachings from the Root Guru whose True Buddha Dharma salvages sentient beings. Disseminating the supreme truth to benefit sentient beings in the mortal world and bardo realm, purify negative karma, increase merit and wisdom. Knowing that it is very difficult to repay the generosity of teaching the Dharma, it is therefore essential to continuously respecting the Guru s noble intent in propagating Dharma teachings. Sixth, repaying the generosity of The Golden Mother of The Primordial Jade Pond who removes calamities, salvages the universe, and guides sentient beings into perfection. Golden Mother shows The Way to, teaches and protects us from deviating from the path of virtue. Her Holiness leads us all into realising benevolence, truth, norm and wisdom. Accordingly we have to possess the quality of being benevolent, sense of honour and modesty, and the wisdom to comprehend the teachings. Understand that Her Holiness has painstakingly been rescuing us, Her sons and daughters. PAGE 5 OF 15

6 Seventh, repaying the generosity of Yidam Deity and Dharma Protector. Without them, every wholesome action shall be difficult to carry out.

Sadhaka and wise men perpetually respect Yidam Deity and Dharma Protector. Their merits and authorities are beyond comprehension. Eighth, repaying the generosity of the sages in the eight directions, who assist in discriminating between the good and the bad. We resolve to repay the immeasurable magnanimities of Guru, Golden Mother and The Sages. They bestow sublime teachings, enabling us to break free from the bondage of samsara. Advising sentient beings to turn back to The Way. Together, realising the pure land of Primordial Jade Pond (the original spirit). Ninth, repaying the generosity of our ancestors. All families should respect their ancestors. Without the ancestors, there shall be no us. Their virtues shine upon us all. One offspring walks the spiritual discipline, thousands of Buddha will be joyful, and his/her ancestors will be delivered. PAGE 6 OF 15

7 Tenth, repaying the generosity of The Saints, who bequeath teachings for the sake of saving sentient beings.
