GRATITUDE GROWS FOR THOSE WHO VIEW THE WORLD WITH AN EQUANIMOUS MIND
Master Jun Hong Lu: You should view the world with an equanimous mind. Regard everything in this world as an ordinary existence. Adopt an indifferent mindset and be thankful for everything – I am thankful that I have food today, and even if I don’t, I am still thankful.
A truly wise person says ‘thank you’ all the time. When ‘thank you’ becomes a language that is readily spoken, it becomes a protective barrier to our consciousness. This is wisdom. This is what it means by viewing the world with an equanimous mind, where there’s absolutely nothing that can make you worry or feel afflicted about, as you perceive all things in this world as nothing but ordinary.
