A TURTLE AND THE DRIFTING YOKE
Master Jun Hong Lu: “To be born as a human is as rare as the chances of a blind turtle popping its head through the hole in the drifting yoke as it rises to the ocean surface for air once in a hundred years” (盲龟值木).
Therefore, we must cherish life; make use of this illusory world for true cultivation; devote ourselves, both body and mind and go beyond ordinary people and reach the realm of sages – only then we are able to witness our own Buddha-nature.
