Good karma stems from doing good; loneliness stems from selfishness; suspicion stems from fear and fear stems from hatred. Thus, only when we cultivate a calm and peaceful state of mind can we turn our mortal heart into a Buddha’s heart. 善果是因為種善得來的， 孤獨是因為自私得來的， 懷疑是因為害怕得來的， 恐懼是瞋恨得來的， 所以培養好清淨心才能將凡心轉為佛心。 – Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of […]
