STAY ROOTED TO THE REALITIES OF THIS WORLD
Master Jun Hong Lu: If you detach yourself from the realities of life in search of the dharma, you are in reality setting yourself farther apart from the dharma. This is because ‘The Path’ is in one’s heart.
Many people like to say this: “I must find a good master to ensure that I will be successful in my spiritual quest.”
However, the best master is none other than your own inner awareness, which refers to the inherent Buddha nature in you.
So, why are you going around with a golden bowl in your hand asking for alms?
Spiritual cultivation must stay rooted to the realities of this world; to turn away from such realities is to turn away from success.
