AFFLICTION IS EQUIVALENT TO BODHI
Master Jun Hong Lu: Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are the experts in mental afflictions. They are engineers in the ‘mind’ field; the Doctors and Professors who can help us break free from our worries and see through the reality of things.
Bodhisattvas are the ones who have gained wisdom from their troubles. That is why they are able to see clearly the sufferings and distress of all sentient beings and come up with a diverse ingenious method to help us subdue our worries, and transform them into Bodhi.
