Excerpts from Buddhism in Plain TermsMaster Jun Hong Lu’s Public Talk

To Help Others Is to Truly Understand Them

   
 

TO HELP OTHERS IS TO TRULY UNDERSTAND THEM

Master Jun Hong Lu: You may not know what happened in the lives of others and what challenges they are going through if you view their situation from your personal standpoint. You can only draw inferences from their appearances, and would not be able to experience their state of emotions.  

Many people would criticise or pass judgement on others lightly. However, if you do not understand a person, you are unqualified to blame or pass comment on him as you have not truly seen the trials and tribulations of his life.  

Master hopes that everyone would practise Buddhism diligently and be able to truly understand others so as to be able to help them.
