I’m now working in a way that goes beyond ordinary thinking. When I guide and help awaken people, and someone comes in with a big ego, I use skilful methods to counsel them. For example, when someone with an appointment enters my office and I perform a Totem reading, I can immediately see that they’ve […]
Next, I’d like to talk to you about the Three Obstacles. What are the Three Obstacles? They are: the obstacle of affliction, the obstacle of karma, and the obstacle of retribution. So, what is affliction? It’s ignorance—not understanding, being confused. Because you don’t understand, you become confused, and then afflictions arise. If you can’t see things […]
[Editor’s Note from the Secretariat of Australia Oriental Radio] This teaching was originally a transcript of a lesson that Master Lu gave to his disciples and was compiled for internal reference. At the time, some of the content was intended exclusively for disciples and not for public distribution. However, when the draft was submitted for Master […]
Today, I’m going to talk to you about making great vows. A person’s vow power is very important. So, what is vow power? It’s the driving force behind the things you aspire to achieve—the energy that helps turn your intentions into reality. Whether someone’s vow power is strong depends on the strength, determination, and perseverance […]
The substance and “name and appearance”. For example, I currently have a real, tangible body, and the name “Jun Hong Lu.” In reality, that name is simply a representation of your Dharma appearance. The name “Guan Zi Zai Bodhisattva” is also just a representation of that appearance. When someone is able to perceive the true […]
Today, I want to talk about how good and evil are measured in Buddhism. In the human world, the standard is simple: doing good deeds makes you a good person, and doing bad deeds makes you a bad person. But in Buddhism, the standard is much higher: anything done for oneself is considered unwholesome, while […]
Greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt—most people are already familiar with the “three poisons” of greed, anger and ignorance, so I won’t elaborate on those. But what is arrogance? Arrogance means pride, a sense of superiority or looking down on others. A lack of diligence is also a kind of arrogance. And doubt—having a suspicious, […]
The term “wisdom and rationality” combines two essential aspects: “rationality”, which represents a person’s true nature, and “wisdom”, which is already embedded within that nature. Your true nature inherently contains wisdom—this is what I always teach you about “nature”, referring to your true nature and original spirit. When rationality and wisdom merge, this is true […]
The misfortunes imposed on us by fate can still be avoided. Why is this possible? Because through our application of the Buddha-dharma and our own potential for enlightenment, we can avoid the misfortunes that fate brings us. However, misfortunes that we bring upon ourselves have no path to redemption. This means that if we create […]
I’ve told you before—this planet is constantly falling ill. Whether you acknowledge it or not, whether you believe it or not, it doesn’t change reality. Think about it—how often does it show “symptoms”? Every few days, there’s a disaster here, a crisis there. It’s just like a person whose body starts breaking down—one problem arises, […]
I recently came across a story online from an overseas Buddhist friend. She mentioned that she hadn’t had her period for over 70 days. I advised her to recite a few Little Houses. Shortly after she burned them, everything returned to normal, and she was overjoyed. There are many stories like this, where people experience […]
What is a Buddha? What is a demon? Buddha and demon are closely connected. For example, think of a clock. When the hands of the clock are correctly aligned and keep accurate time, that represents the Buddha. But if you stray while cultivating your mind, it’s like the clock no longer keeps proper time—it’s either […]
