A kind word can sometimes make one feel warm all their lives. A harsh word, on the other hand, can breed a lifetime of hatred. It can ruin one’s marriage and one’s family. 一句好話,有時候可以溫暖人的一生; 一句刻薄的話,有時候會讓人記恨一輩子, 會葬送你婚姻家庭的感情。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 3
Happiness lies in appreciating those who are kind to us. Acknowledging the strengths of others warms our hearts, whereas finding faults with others serves only to bring more afflictions upon ourselves. Appreciating the strengths of others and looking beyond their weaknesses brings forth the light in our hearts. 常常記住別人對你好,你會很快樂。 承認別人的優點,會讓自己覺得溫暖; 盯住別人的缺點,會讓自己心中充滿煩惱。 看到別人優點,少看別人缺點, 心中才會越來越光明。 […]

What humans think is the opposite of what Buddhas think. The earth itself has a centripetal force; the people on the planet do not exist in the same dimension as Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. 人间的意念就是反思维。 因为地球本身有向心力, 地球之人和佛菩萨不是在一个维次空间生存的。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 9
