Those who are awakened are matured spiritually. Those who harbour immature thoughts for a long time will develop autism and depression. 大脑开悟，心灵就会成熟，不成熟的想法常存心中，时间久了就会自闭抑郁。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
When it comes to reciting Buddhist scriptures, we must recite the right ones. We must conduct ourselves with uprightness and nobility. 念经要念对经，做人要做对人。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
Liberated from the cycle of rebirth are those who are no longer subject to birth and death. 不生不死，就是不入轮回。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
The distinction between ‘doing’ and ‘non-doing’ lies in intention and purpose. The former is attached to appearances while the latter breaks through the attachments to four kinds of appearances. Doing something without expecting any reward shows the ability to avoid attachment to appearances. 有为和无为就是重视与目的。 有为就是会着相； 无为就是破四相， 不求回报的行为能离相。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of […]
Slow-flowing water runs deep ; one who is cautious in words is noble. We need two years to learn to speak but ten years to learn to be discreet in what we say. To learn to be discreet in speech is the beginning of spiritual practice. 水深则流缓，语迟则人贵。 花两年时间学说话， 花十年功夫才能学会谨言。 学会谨言就是修心的开始。 – Master Jun Hong […]
Understanding your mind and realising your true nature is about seeing through the nature of birth and death. Once you know that the human soul will not become extinct, you will realise the importance of spiritual cultivation. 要明心见性，就是要看破生死。当你知道人的灵魂不灭，你才能了悟修行的重要性。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5
Our minds should not become entangled in the concept of right and wrong. If our minds do not make judgments of right and wrong, there will also be no conflicts and contradictions. 要心中无事无非无心，心中没有什么事情是对的、错的，那么就会产生出无心无非。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5
As Buddhist practitioners, we must understand that if we are unable to practise altruism and help sentient beings, we will never attain the state of ’emptiness of the self’. If we cannot empty our thoughts, we will not realise the state of ’emptiness of the Dharma’. 学佛人要懂得，如果一个学佛人不能利他、帮助众生，就永远不会 “我空”。如果思维不能空，也就无法达到 “法空”。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, […]
We are all caught up in the arising and ceasing of karmic conditions, both large and small, that change constantly and unceasingly. Our lives start from the transformation of karmic conditions until their end, resulting in extinction. 在大大小小的缘生缘灭中，缘分在人间相互转变、延续不断，所以一个人的一生就是从缘分的相互转变，到缘分的尽头，产生灭度。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5
The act of cherishing is a virtue. By cherishing your relationships with others, you will be rewarded with sincerity. By cherishing friendship, you will be rewarded with affection. Cherishing every tree and blade of grass shows you are a compassionate and kind-hearted person. Cherishing the Dharma shows you are a person of great wisdom. […]
We come into and leave this world empty-handed. We should let go naturally, liberate ourselves naturally, and become a Buddha naturally. 人的一生，生不带来、死不带去，自然放下，自然解脱，自然成佛。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5
Buddhists must not harm themselves by harbouring the slightest negative thought. It may be fine if you bear a grudge against others for a month. However, if you bear it for a year, two years or even three years, it will only cause you serious harm. 学佛人不能把任何一点一滴不好的心态放在心中，去伤害自己。你把对别人的恨放在心中一个月没关系，放一年、两年、三年之后，你就会严重伤害到自己 。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, […]
It is more important to have mental clarity than to be clever. Having good habits brings more energy than the mastering of skills. 一个人有清醒的头脑 要比有聪明的头脑更重要， 一个良好的习惯 比你掌握一项技巧更充满活力。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5
As Buddhist practitioners, we must forget about our accomplishments once we have achieved them so we will have no worries. We must bear in mind our mistakes so we will not repeat them. We must seek wisdom when we encounter problems so we can resolve them. We may not be clever, but we must not […]
Enlightenment should be the objective of practising Buddhism and cultivating the mind. We must practise kindness and remove evil thoughts from our minds, replace negative relationships with positive ones, and use wholesome thoughts to let go of all karmic affinities. 学佛修心，要以开悟为宗旨， 用善心消除内心的恶念， 用善缘消除自己的恶缘， 用善念让自己放下万缘。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5
Act prudently from beginning to end; remain true to our original aspiration. 慎终如始，不忘初心。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
Any heedlessness in the mind is tantamount to breaking the precepts. The process of observing the precepts is cultivating the Way. 心中任何的放逸就是破戒，持戒的过程就是修道。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
To cultivate the mind is to be able to see one’s own destiny and energy. It is like seeing one’s soul. When there is hope in the heart, one will not be disappointed. With the blessing of the Bodhisattva, the Buddha Dharma becomes our lifeline. With firm determination, there will be hope in the heart. […]
When a person gets the ideals wrong, they miss many opportunities. 理念错了，就会错失很多机会。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
When speaking, our words must carry weight; we must conduct ourselves with strength. 说话要有分量，做人要有力量。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
Observing the precepts is like stopping when the traffic light turns red and proceeding when the light turns green. Abiding by the precepts means that one must see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil. Observing the precepts is the concept of discipline. 守戒就是看见红灯要停， 看见绿灯要行； 持戒就是不该看的不看， 不该说的不说， 不该听的不听。 持戒是规范的理念。 – Master Jun […]
Cows that drink water produce milk; snakes that drink water spit out venom. Only by learning Buddhism can we finesse in speech and frequently praise others. 牛喝水会产出牛奶， 蛇喝水会吐出毒液， 人必须学佛才能口吐莲花。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 8
Constantly perform meritorious and virtuous deeds, like a stream trickling endlessly. This helps us to remain steadfast in our faith in spiritual practice. 功德要常做，细水长流，有助于坚持道心。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 4
Think twice before speaking. 每句话出来都要三思而后行。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 4
Talking too much will become an obstacle in your path of advancement. 话说多了， 会成为自己以后前进道路上的障碍。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 4
Buddhist practitioners must be adaptable, whether advancing or retreating, and not be overwhelmed by unexpected favour or humiliation. 学佛人做人进退有度，宠辱不惊。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 4
Our success lies in faith and commitment. According to Buddhism, we should devote ourselves to one Buddhist practice. It is of vital importance to have faith in an enlightened Master, without the slightest doubt. 人的成功在“信”字，要有愿力，佛法讲，一门精进，相信明白的师父很重要，不能有丝毫怀疑。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 2
The more magnanimous you are, the stronger your intuition becomes. Intuition will be transformed into your potential for awakening, which will be transformed into Bodhi. 心量越大的人，灵感越强， 灵感转化为悟性，悟性成就菩提。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 4
Being a civilized person is the result of having a habit of being gentle. 修养来自于你温和的习惯。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 4
There must be a reason for someone to be successful. Thus, it is foolish to be jealous of their success. 任何一个人的成功都是有道理的， 去嫉妒别人的人是最傻的。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 4
