DILIGENCE IS WHEN YOU TRANSFORM YOUR THOUGHTS
Master Jun Hong Lu: Many people say, “When I was little, fortune-teller told me that I would be blessed with good fortune. But, why don’t I see any of these good fortunes now?”
It is because every day, you have too many worries and are living in distress, so much so that they are constantly consuming your good fortune. Your mind starts off being negative to being more negative and gets more and more negative to being permanently negative. This is the beginning of a web of evil thoughts with mutual influence.
If your mind goes from negative to positive, and you slowly transform your thoughts:
From evil to kindness;
from unrighteous to righteous;
from being bewildered to awaken; and from deluded to purity,
this is the concept of “Diligence”.
Every day, if you are filled with the commitments to make progress and the desires to be enlightened and filled with all the pure and righteous energy, you will make improvement day by day.
