(An Excerpt)
SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT IS THE KEY TO EARNING MERITS
Master Jun Hong Lu: If a person casually talks about Buddhas and Bodhisattvas without truly understanding and putting Buddhism into practice, his merits would be reduced to almost nothing.
If a person lacks an in-depth understanding of basic Buddhist teachings and fails to put them into practice, he would have no merits at all.
When your state of spirituality is elevated, your attainment from the things you do will correspondingly be elevated.
If you do something from your heart, you will be blessed with a reward of spiritual nature.
Conversely, if you do something superficially, what you receive will be nothing more than a superficial reward.
