Wisdom Is the Key to Liberation From Suffering

   
 

WISDOM IS THE KEY TO LIBERATION FROM SUFFERING

Master Jun Hong Lu: A person who is able to eradicate suffering, is one who does not put himself in the midst of the suffering. This is when Prajna or wisdom is gained.

Should someone scold you today, and you don’t even feel it. In that case, will you still get angry? Isn’t this what wisdom is all about?

The key is to eliminate the notion of “self”.
Without a “self” you are liberated from sufferings.
Instead, if you feel,
“Why didn’t I get a share of this?”
“Why didn’t I get a raise?”
“Why wasn’t I informed about this?”.

The notion of self is the source of all your sufferings!
