ACQUIRE THE WISDOM OF THE BUDDHA
Master Jun Hong Lu: As Buddhist practitioners, first and foremost, we must acquire the wisdom of the Buddha. We must understand that, to be awakened is to be Buddha while to remain deluded is to be a bewildered common mortal. That said, as soon as a person is awakened, he is indeed a Buddha. Hence, we must not be overly obsessed with the things we do. When you insist on something or the way something is to be done, you will stand to lose a lot more in life. On this note, as your Master, let me say this to everyone, as Buddhist practitioners, while we are reciting the Buddha’s name with our mouths, we must remember not to lose the thought of Buddha in our minds. In addition, our bodies must constantly perform good deeds as only then can we become a Bodhisattva.
To give a simple example: In whatever we do, we should be aware that now we are in the Guanyin Hall, we should speak softly so as not to disturb others. We should try to avoid troubling others as much as possible. This kind of mental offering and the generation of such thoughts is the Buddha. It is from this you will gain resonance with Bodhisattvas and receive Their blessings.
This is because your thought is one and the same as that of Bodhisattvas. When your mind is filled with thoughts of Bodhisattva, naturally, you will manifest the actions of a Bodhisattva.
