LET GO OF THE PAST AND THE ENTANGLEMENTS
Master Jun Hong Lu: Letting go is when you stop reminiscing about the past; disentangle yourself from the memory of those who have left you; stop blaming yourself for things you failed to accomplish and stop thinking about things you couldn’t attain. When you let go, you are not only taking ownership of your own actions, you are also showing respect to others. On top of that, it reflects your ability to see through the reality of things.
After all, life is impermanent and it is not easy to have the right assessment of the things in this world. Treasure the things that have come to us and learn to let go of those that we have missed. Buddhist practitioners should embark on the next phase of life journey with a smile.
You will be able to let go, when you stop complaining. Why do people complain so much?
Simply because they:
“Can’t Let Go”,
“Can’t See Through”, and
“Can’t Forget”.
