THE INITIAL INSPIRATION IS THE CATALYST FOR DILIGENCE IN BUDDHIST PRACTICE
Master Jun Hong Lu: Be diligent, and the basis for diligence is to stay true to your initial inspiration. Anyone who is holding on to his initial aspiration will be diligent. How did you start learning Buddhism? It was when you were experiencing great suffering.
Caller: Yes.
Master Jun Hong Lu: But things change after you embark on the journey of Buddhist practice, and this explains why your initial aspiration was so crucial at that point. Right?
Caller: Yes. One will only be diligent in times of adversity.
Master Jun Hong Lu: That’s right. It’s as simple as that.
