These Precepts are also like wish-fulfilling gems (如意珠) when upheld well. 相关教理 Related Teachings: 《梵网经菩萨戒本》 Brahma Net Sūtra's Bodhisattva Precepts' Text https://purelanders.com/pusa Read more...  FEATURE  [2] With Cautiousness When Alone For Correcting Faults 以慎独改过 2、慎独：吾等凡有所作所为，起念动心，佛菩萨乃至诸鬼神等，无不尽知尽见。若时时作如是想，自不敢胡作非为。 [2] Cautiousness When Alone: We, with all those acted and those done, with the giving rise of thoughts and moving of minds, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and even all ghosts, gods and others, are without those not completely known and completely seen.
