HOW DOES ONE CULTIVATE THE MIND?

Master Jun Hong Lu: How does one cultivate the mind?

First and foremost, one should learn to differentiate between the good and the evil in this world. To do so, one must use one’s intelligence to reflect and apply wisdom to determine whether the matters in hand are deemed appropriate from a Buddhism standpoint.

We should check our everyday experiences against the theories taught by the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, go deep into the analysis and decide if what we do is appropriate. This is how you will gain a true understanding of the teachings.

Only when one begins to analyse and comprehend the Buddhism theories, he is said to have begun his journey of mind-cultivation.
