A road cannot be driven on without the effort of its builders. A flower cannot blossom without the care of gardeners. Sentient beings cannot be liberated from suffering and attain happiness without the compassion of Buddhist practitioners. 没有修路的人，哪有金光大道？没有栽花的人，哪有鲜花灿烂？没有学佛人的慈悲， 哪有众生的离苦得乐？ – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
Bias happens when one fails to see things in their entirety. No matter how good a watch is, it is biased if it is not accurate. Life’s journey can be compared to buttoning a shirt. If the first button is put wrong, then every button will be wrong. If a person takes one wrong step, […]
As Buddhist practitioners, we must treat everyone and everything with kindness and compassion, and relieve ourselves of worries with wisdom. Be grateful to others for their hard work. Adopt the Buddhist philosophy of feeling others pain and suffering as our very own to protect ourselves from disasters and to understand the true meaning of life. […]
We never know the value of what we have until we lose it. There is no medicine for regret in this world. Everything is already gone when we begin to regret. However, for a Buddhist practitioner, there is a cure for regret reciting the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance. 人总是在失去的时候才猛然醒悟。世界上没有后悔药，当我们后悔的时候，一切已经离我们而去。学佛人学佛之后拥有了后悔药， 那就是《礼佛大忏悔文》。 – Master Jun […]
Happiness has nothing to do with money. Money cannot buy Dharma joy. In fact, the more we have in this world, the more afflictions we may face. 人的快乐多少与拥有的财富是没有关系的，心中的法喜是财富买不到的， 拥有人间的财富越多，可能烦恼就越多。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
A Buddhist practitioner should first learn to forgive. Forgiveness brings about miracles, helping save broken relationships. Forgiveness helps us understand others like a lamp that illuminates our hearts, enabling us to let go of resentment, vengeance, and jealousy. Forgiveness is the path to a healthy state of mind. 学佛人首先要学会原谅别人，原谅别人就会产生生奇迹，会挽回感情的损失； 原谅别人会谅解理解别人，像一盏灯照亮你的心，让你放下怨恨、报复心与嫉妒心，有原谅别人的心就会给你的心铺成一条健康之路。 – Master Jun […]
There are three unique characteristics of wise people: 1. They are highly tolerant and impartial; 2. They practise the giving of kind and truthful words, and never lie; 3. They think of nothing but the well-being of sentient beings. 智慧有三个殊胜点： 首先，学智慧的人要懂得， 做事情气量要大，行为要公正； 第二，语言布施，善言真语，不说妄语；第三，思无所得，想众生想。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1 […]
When dealing with people, we must be infinitely patient. 与人相处之道，一定要懂得无限的容忍。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
An evil person is ignorant. A benevolent person is wise. A Buddhist practitioner is enlightened. 作恶者，愚痴也； 行善者，智慧也； 学佛者，开悟也。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
A Buddhist practitioner should hold themselves to high standards of spiritual cultivation, complete with merits and virtues. It is necessary to have both merits and virtues. Never belittle or diminish the Buddha-nature, or we will lose merits and virtues. 学佛的人要有境界，功德要齐备， 一个人“功”和“德”均不可少。千万不要轻视、藐视佛性， 才不会损失功德。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1 […]
We need to rid ourselves of the defilement within us to regain our inherent Buddha-nature. We need to let go of everything to transcend this world and to help all sentient beings become enlightened and be free from suffering. Only when we attain a high level of spirituality can we be liberated from the cycle […]
We must understand that Bodhisattvas have no mind; Bodhisattvas take the minds of sentient beings as their own. The minds of sentient beings are my mind. The forms of sentient beings are my form. The afflictions of sentient beings are my afflictions. In essence, the minds of Bodhisattvas are the same as the minds of […]
Compassion is the foundation for changing our destiny. Spare more thought for others, and less for ourselves. In this way, we can reduce our desires and our heart will be pure and calm, unperturbed by any circumstances. We can then gain control over ourselves and be the master of own destiny. 改变命运的基础是要有慈悲心。多想别人，少想自己，就能减少欲望， 心灵清净； 心不随境转，就能控制自己，主宰自己， 做自己命运的主人。 […]
“Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door” provides solutions for our spiritual needs. How can we be happy with a troubled mind? Practising Buddhism is about changing our personality and destiny.

Our state of mind is most important. If we cannot think clearly, we will not accomplish anything. If we think clearly, we can achieve everything. 人最要紧的是精神。精神想不通，万事都是空； 精神想得通，万事都能通。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
A kind person may not have received their blessings, yet calamity is already far away. An evil person may not have been stricken by calamity, yet blessings are already out of range. 人行善，福还未至，祸已远离； 人行恶，祸虽未至，福已远离。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
Prayers from a pure heart will be answered. Illnesses will arise from an evil heart. 心净则自然灵，心恶则百病生。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
An enlightened person will not be worried in times of hardship. Whatever circumstances they encounter, they act in accordance with conditions; they are not bothered by gains or losses. Their mind remains steady, neither increasing nor decreasing. They turn themselves from an ordinary person into a sage. The mind is free from obstructions. This very […]
If we want to have favourable causes and conditions in this life, if we want to have blessings and receive help in times of need, we should always form positive connections with all beings. 如果想在人间有因缘、有福分、 有贵人的话，就要广结善缘。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
In this world, with rise there is decline, with birth there is death, with coming together there is separation. Everything by nature is temporary. What we possess today may not last forever, and what we gain today may not always be ours. However, what we lose today may be ours again tomorrow. Indeed, Our minds […]
When we cherish our lives and everything in the world, we effectively own this world. 当一个人珍惜生命， 珍惜世界上一切的时候， 就拥有了这个世界，拥有了这个人间。。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1

Many people, throughout their lives, love themselves more than anyone else. The more we love only ourselves, the lonelier we become. The more we love other sentient beings, the more blissful we become. 人的一生就是自私的爱自己。爱自己会使自己越来越孤独， 爱众生会使自己越来越幸福。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
If we want to change others, we should first change ourselves. Buddhism recognises the existence of destiny, and teaches us how to change our destiny. 要改变别人首先要改变自己， 佛法承认命运，从而才让人们改变命运。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 1
The first things we should learn as a Buddhist practitioner are: to never feel as if we are being unfairly treated or wronged, never feel sad, and never get frustrated or worried. This is because everything in life is impermanent, it ebbs and flows in the blink of an eye. When we see the truth […]
A virtuous person corrects their mistakes, whereas a petty person covers up their flaws. Those who correct their mistakes will become enlightened; those who cover up flaws will get lost. It is always better to correct our mistakes than to cover them up. 君子改過，小人飾非。 改過的人會開悟，飾非的人會迷誤， 永遠要懂得改過自己的缺點 比掩蓋自己的錯誤要好。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of […]
Transforming sentient beings is very difficult, that is why we do it. The opportunity to encounter the Buddhas teachings is very rare, that is why we cherish it. We strive to elevate the spirituality of sentient beings to liberate them from the cycle of rebirth. We strive to transform their destinies so that they can […]
