(An Excerpt)
BECOMING A DISCIPLE IS EQUIVALENT TO MAKING THE VOWS OF HONOURING THE MASTER AND REVERING HIS TEACHINGS, AND TO ADVANCE CULTIVATION SINGLE-MINDEDLY AND DILIGENTLY
Caller: It is stated in the first rule of the Disciple’s Code of Conduct that, ‘Disciples of Master Jun Hong Lu are expected to be loyal to the Master, and to be solely dedicated to following the Master’s Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door.’
During the discipleship initiation ceremony, we have promised to abide by the Disciple’s Code of Conduct. Does it mean that we have already made the vows of honouring the Master and revering his teachings, and to advance cultivation single-mindedly and diligently?
Master Jun Hong Lu: It is already considered a pledge.
Caller: That means becoming a disciple is considered to have made the vows?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes. You have already declared it during the discipleship initiation ceremony. Otherwise, how would you call it a vow? This is your resolution.
Caller: As long as we are able to fulfil the vows, as Guan Di Bodhisattva said, “Those who respect the Master and revere his teachings shall be protected by all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas”. Is that the case?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, certainly. Many people who honour the Master and revere his teachings are able to live a safe and peaceful life. They are able to resolve any serious matters that arise.
