UNITY OF KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE
Master Jun Hong Lu: There are many Buddhist practitioners who are good at reciting the scriptures and their understanding of the Buddha’s teachings is superb.
However, their behaviour is not even close to that of a human; all that they have learned, they fail to put into practice. In the end all their efforts in cultivation come to nothing.
Therefore, the Dharma teaches the unity of knowledge and practice (i.e., the congruence of one’s knowledge and actions).
To truly understand the Dharma is to comprehend the teachings in one’s heart and be able to apply the Dharma in one’s life – This is the true understanding of spiritual cultivation.
