Strive to Create Our Own Opportunities

   
 

STRIVE TO CREATE OUR OWN OPPORTUNITIES

Master Jun Hong Lu: Do not impute all faults and wrongs on others. Our fate and destiny are in our very own hands. When opportunity presents itself to us, do not hesitate to forge ahead vigorously and advance. Do not be jealous when you see the success of others as their achievement is the result of their dedication to progress and hard work. When opportunity knocks, break new paths! If it doesn’t, strive to create your own.  

Given the right conditions, with the ideal spiritual foundation, we should dedicate ourselves to progress and may we fall into the arms of Guan Yin Bodhisattva hereafter; lacking such circumstances calls for our sincere repentance, through our conscientious recitation of the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance. We should desperately strive to accomplish our spiritual cultivation within this lifetime; and with this life that we have gained, we should make every effort to eventually fall back into the arms of our “Mother”.
