THE CONCEPTS OF THE TEMPORARY AND PERPETUAL
Master Jun Hong Lu:
Buddhist practitioners must understand this: wealth is only your friend for a moment, but a friend is a form of everlasting wealth;
glory only grants you honour for a moment, but helping others is the true foundation for honour;
academic qualifications only grants you knowledge for a moment, but lifelong learning is what gives you enduring wisdom.
