Personal experience led Dharma Master Wu-da to write the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance so that others might understand the truth of reincarnation and the karmic law of cause and effect.Dharma as Water consists of three volumes. It is a compilation of five years of lectures taught by Master Cheng Yen. The first volume of the book is an introduction followed by an explanation of how to cultivate the Seven States of Mind that are used in repentance practice. The second volume covers the Obstruction of Afflictions. The third volume includes The Twofold White Dharma Of Repentance, Repenting The Obstruction Of Retributions, Transmission, and The Hopes Of Dharma Master Cheng Yen. Master Cheng Yen’s commentary is an invaluable resource for modern spiritual practitioners. Through the practice of repentance, we can purify our hearts and help others do the same.
