LEARN TO BE CONTENT
Master Jun Hong Lu: As the traditional Chinese saying goes, ‘There is no calamity greater than to be discontented with one’s lot; no fault greater than the longing for desires. Therefore, when one is gratified by contentment, true contentment can then long endure.’
In other words, man’s greatest mistake lies in their discontentment, living eternally amidst desires and believing that what they have is never enough to be satisfied. Conversely, man’s greatest source of happiness can actually be found when they learn to be content.
