HOW DO WE NURTURE UNWAVERING FAITH?
Caller: Master, it is mentioned in Buddhism in Plain Terms that, “Unwavering faith can help eliminate all fears”, how do we develop this so that we do not regress in the face of adversity?
Master Jun Hong Lu: That’s very simple – keep close tabs on my teachings. How do you have confidence in someone? It is through regular contact with the person.
How do we achieve firm faith? Firm faith will help us resist the many distracting thoughts we have. Just like how we need to understand other people – Buddhist practitioners should learn to understand the Buddha, so that we can be resolute in our practice.
This reinforces the importance of listening to my discourses on stories and teachings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. You will then become more steadfast in practising Buddhism. That is how unwavering faith comes about.
