PRACTISE TRUE CULTIVATION – A MIND THAT IS UNPERTURBED
Master Jun Hong Lu: In practising Buddhism, we must be true to our practice. No matter what happens, our mind should remain unperturbed, “no wax and no wane”.
What does this mean?
It is a state of “unmoving suchness”.
What does it mean by “no wax and no wane”?
When good things come along, let there be no “increase” in our mind nor desire; whatever comes along, it can never make us lose our morality or diligence in cultivation.
When there is no “increase”, there shall be no “decrease”.
When there is no “decrease”, we don’t have to work on “increasing”. These are the basic principles of the Dharma. Only when there is “no wax and no wane”, can there be “no birth and no death”.
Many people are trapped in a very pitiful state. In their quest to meet their unceasing desires, they end up wallowing in afflictions when what they wish for goes unmet.
