ENDURANCE IS NOT THE HIGHEST STATE OF MIND; STRIVE TO RESOLVE THE KARMIC CONFLICTS INSTEAD
Caller: Hi Master, as the saying goes, “Kind people are vulnerable to being taken advantage of”, in that case, do we still have to always tolerate everything? As Buddhist practitioners, what should we do?
Master Jun Hong Lu: You need to resolve these karmic conflicts instead of simply tolerating all the time. After all, endurance is not the highest state of mind. Despite your tolerance, you are still being taken advantage of, aren’t you?
All of us have to go through countless sufferings in the human realm as a way to repay our karmic debts from our past lives. Guan Yin Bodhisattva is the saviour of sufferings and calamities. Why do you think Guan Yin Bodhisattva wishes to save you from the sea of suffering? It is so that you will not suffer!
Do you think Guan Yin Bodhisattva is interfering with the law of cause and effect? No. The onus is on you to work ceaselessly to resolve these karmic conflicts through performing meritorious deeds, that is, through other means instead of having to go through the suffering, so that you can fully repay all the karmic debts resulted from the unwholesome deeds committed in your past lives.
