HOW CAN WE ESCAPE THE FOUR SUFFERINGS AND BE TRULY HAPPY?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable. Suffering starts at birth and it goes on to old age. The suffering from ill health is unspeakable; and death is agonising.
Nobody can escape these four types of suffering, regardless if you are a millionaire, or however great or lowly you are.
So, as Buddhists, how can we escape these four sufferings and be truly happy? Please remember, spiritual cultivation is to transform yourself to become a happy person where the radiant light of the Buddha flows right from your self-nature.
