HEARTFELT WORDS FROM MASTER LU ON FATHER’S DAY
Master Jun Hong Lu: As your Master, I no longer have a personal family. All of you are like my children, and on Father’s Day, I feel an even deeper sense of longing for you. It truly pains me to see some children not striving enough. Conversely, the diligent ones bring me great joy. Those who have experienced fatherhood will understand this sentiment: When misfortune befalls a child, the parents’ heart feel as if they are clenching in agony.
I urge all Buddhist friends across the globe not to regress in your cultivation. Instead, you should forge ahead in your practice. Our dharma door is unique in its emphasis on ‘love for the country and its people, and the adherence to the law’. No other dharma doors place such priority on this aspect.
Caller: That’s right.
Master Jun Hong Lu: This stands as a primary tenet of Guan Yin Citta. We must strive for global peace, at the same time, love our homeland, our people, relatives and friends, while cherishing all sentient beings in this world. Our commitment manifests in action: We abstain from consuming meat, refrain from killing—that is our expression of love. Our compassion lies in assisting all sentient beings we encounter.
