Words of Wisdom | True Awakening

Posted Posted in Words of Wisdom

In Buddhist terms, we need to have the potential for awakening within our hearts. If you attain awakening through the help of others, it is not a true awakening. True awakening has to be attained through our own effort. 佛法界讲,自己心中要有悟性,如果通过别人让你开悟,那是假悟;要自己悟出来,才是真悟。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 2

Life is like a dream, it is all over when you wake. You will still be in the dream if you have not awakened.

Words of Wisdom | A Cultivated Mind

In this world, there are two approaches to an issue: action and inaction. Out of nothing comes something. After taking no action towards anyone or anything, a thought of taking action will emerge. 这个世界,有为和无为都是“为”字,一切有为法是建立在无为法的基础上。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 2
