The Ultimate Meaning of 
15 Buddha Conducts

By Holy Teacher

Due to the Grace of Heaven and Buddha’s mercy, these Holy scriptures were made available to help us better understand the true meaning of the 15 Buddha Conducts.

15. BE CAUTIOUS IN WORDS AND ACTIONS


The ancients said: "Words are the voice of a person’s heart, and behaviors are the shadow of a person’s mind." Words can express the voice of a person's heart and behavior can reflect a person's inner shadow. So what kind of inner intentions do you have? What kind of words and deeds do you present to the outside world? In contrast, if you do not have any intention, naturally there will be no words and deeds. Therefore, what you say and do are truly a reflection of your inner self. Your words and deeds are representative of the real you!

Tao is not to be separated from us for any moment. In addition, Heaven has no words and earth does not speak. The preciousness of Tao is to be manifested by your actions. So, how can you be careless with your speech and your actions and be disrespectful of your own inner Buddha? Laws exist in heaven and in every country just as the Buddha conducts exist in the Tao community. If you are not mindful of your speech and actions and engage in misconduct you not only hurt others but yourself as well. 

God is fair to everyone, is selfless, and sees and knows all things. In the great Law of Karma, disciples, how can you have faults and misdeeds yet not expect to be punished? Therefore, you should not speak words that wound, speak words that defeat the moral, nor speak words that disguise the truth! A Tao cultivator should speak truthfully, highly regard the heavenly work and not judge. A Tao cultivator should not be verbally abusive, speak unnecessarily and use words only to flatter others. That is what is meant by being cautious in words. The same principle applies to your actions.  Your words and deeds must agree, you should be a moral model, manifest the Tao within and share the Tao with others.  Carry the presence of God, make others’ needs a priority, always be cautious and mindful of one’s conduct and refrain from making mistakes. As such, you are a true Tao cultivator who shares the words of God and who sets a good example for others to imitate.
