UNIVERSAL GOODNESS
Good habits do not occur naturally like the breeze or sunlight
or weeds growing in an empty paddy field. Good habits must be
carefully cultivated in the same way that rice, vegetables, and fruit
trees must be carefully cultivated. Unlike good habits, bad habits
occur naturally. They do not need to be cultivated. Good habits are
formed by the way one conscientiously performs all the relevant
activities in the five rooms of life.
This book will guide you on how to develop good habits through consistent, regular practice.
