Question: I supplicate Your Holiness to be my root guru. I do the Pure Land practice. After I take refuge with Your Holiness, can I still continue practicing my current practices?

[karmayt]

Answer: Generally speaking, taking refuge is not directed at a particular person such as myself, but rather in the Three Jewels. However it is customary in China to take multiple refuges with different masters. If you like to think that way, it is all right. However, if taking refuge with me interferes with your Pure Land practice then it is not right. Of course you can still continue with your Pure Land practices.

[karmayt]

Not only you, but I am also becoming more and more interested in the Pure Land practices, and would also like to practice it. As both of us have the same aspiration for the Pure Land practice, you should continue your practice as you had been diligently doing.
