Form or formlessness cannot be separated from the notion of a form. Only by completely eliminating our attachment to self can the form disappear amidst formlessness. 有形无形均在形中， 只有彻底破除我执， 才能使有形消失在无形中。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 9
One must learn to be steadfast. As Buddhist practitioners, our determination is as strong and steady as a rock, and our compassion as gentle and meek as water. Learn to walk the middle way, as it is how our destiny can be changed. 人要学会坚强，学佛人心如金刚， 佛情似水，学会中庸，命运改变。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 9 […]
Understanding the human world is a process of spiritual practice. 理解人间就是修行的一个过程。 Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 9
Turning a deaf ear to advice is the beginning of delusion. Turning a blind eye to one’s mistakes is the beginning of failure. Always thinking that you should have a fair share of everything is the beginning of affliction. 愚癡的開始就是聽不進別人的規勸， 失敗的開始就是自以為都是對的， 煩惱的開始就是認為 凡事自己都應該擁有一份。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 3
The ability to adjust one’s mind leads one to attain the Buddha’s heart. 調整人心，進入佛心。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 3

Wealth and glory are nothing but vanity; worldly pleasures and romance are nothing but suffering. The hard work of our lives will be all in vain, like trying to capture the moon in the water. When we leave this human world, we take with us nothing but our karma. Only when we understand this concept […]
Regret awaits those who make decisions in a fit of anger. 人不能在發脾氣的時候決定任何事情，否則一定會後悔。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 3
A true Buddhist practitioner is a person of few words, who is mindful of their demeanour, and who practises what they preach. 學佛要注重威儀，不在言多，身體力行。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 3
It is important to see through all afflictions and all phenomena in the world. The ability to understand thoroughly and overcome whatever happens represents a philosophy to live by. As long as sentient beings exist in the human world, they will be contaminated. Once a person cultivates themselves to the point of being free of […]
Excessive speech hurts others and fussiness exhausts one’s energies. Rather than hurting others or being exhausted, it is far better to constantly think of Guan Yin Bodhisattva. 话多伤人，计较伤神， 与其伤人又伤神，不如常念观世音。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7

When learning Guan Yin Bodhisattva’s loving kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity, one must learn them fully; only then can they be practised to perfection, and only then will one not be contaminated. When perfection is attained, attachments will not arise. 学观世音菩萨的慈悲喜舍 要学到具足，才能圆融， 才不会被染着； 有了圆融，才不会执着。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7
Through cultivating the mind, we must make headway towards the level where the right thought, Dharma joy and Prajna wisdom arise. 修心要修出正念， 修出法喜，修出般若。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7
If one wishes to illuminate others, they must have positive energy. It is important to regularly recharge oneself, because energy is like a battery-operated torch; every time it is used, its power diminishes. 想要照亮别人一定要正能量， 要保持自己的能量，时常充电， 因为人的能量， 犹如手电筒里的电量一样， 照一次少一次。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7

Do not care too much about what others feel, nor be concerned about what others think of you. If you are too fixated on these things, you will not be able to ascend beyond the Three Realms of Existence or transcend the Five Elements. 不要太注重别人的感觉， 不要把他人对你的看法挂在心上， 太罣礙了就跳不出三界，修不出五行。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom […]
One must regard the help of sentient beings as compassion, the criticism of sentient beings as motivation, and the strictness of sentient beings as a contributory factor to one’s betterment. 视众生的帮助为慈悲， 视众生的指责为动力， 视众生的严苛为增上缘。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7
What matters the most in life is to cultivate the mind and attain liberation; there is nothing more important than this. 人间最大的事情就是修心解脱， 没有比这个事更重要的。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7
If one takes what happens in the human realm too seriously, they will not be able to laugh, which will eventually result in depression. 人间的事看得太重，就会笑不出来， 久而久之就是忧郁症。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7

A person must think far ahead, otherwise they will find sorrow near at hand. 人要有远虑，否则就会有近患。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7
Buddhists who fail to respect their teachers and the Dharma are essentially betraying their teachers. 学佛人不懂得尊师重道 就等于欺师灭祖。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7
The crisis in spiritual practice is obsession, so it is important to completely let go. Any person’s opinions or advice can be contributory factors to our betterment; any attachments (be they within the mind, body, or the way we deal with other people and matters) in the course of spiritual practice will cause harm to […]
People must learn to nurture and regulate their bodies and minds; any wandering thought comes from attachment or a deviation from spiritual practice. Such an attachment or deviation demonstrates that one has not awoken to the Bodhisattva’s fundamental enlightenment. 学会调养身心， 任何的杂念都是修心中的执着偏差。 有了这种执着偏差， 就是对菩萨的根本悟还未开启。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 7
