Throughout our lives, there is nothing we can truly call ours forever; impermanence is the root of affliction.
If we carry our afflictions into the following day, we will never understand our minds and see our true nature.
Only when we eradicate all our afflictions can we live our days with joy and free ourselves from a sorrowful state of mind.
人生不可得,無常也是煩惱的根。
把煩惱帶入明天,一定不會明心見性;
只有徹底去除煩惱,
每天快快樂樂開開心心地過日子,
才能真正解脫自己心靈的憂傷。
– Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 3
