The Fifty-sixth Gate

The four right exertions are a gate of Dharma illumination; for they eliminate all evils and realize many kinds of good.

The four right exertions :
1) to prevent bad that has not yet occurred,
2) to cause bad that has already occurred to be extinguished,
3) to cause to occur good that has not yet occurred,
4) to promote the good that has already occurred.

May we together with all beings
Reflect on the four right restraints
That we may remove evils and promote good.
