AIM TO ATTAIN SELFLESSNESS
Master Jun Hong Lu: The ultimate objective of cultivation is to attain selflessness. When facing hardships in life, Buddhist cultivators should aim at leaving sufferings and embracing happiness. People won’t cultivate if there was no hardship. In cultivation, we should aim to attain a state of emptiness. In doing so, you will be a carefree Buddha in the human realm. I hope that you have less distracting thoughts, less greed and less hatred; only then, can ignorance be curtailed.
