TO REALISE THE ULTIMATE NIRVANA
Master Jun Hong Lu: Intrinsically, we have the same Buddha nature. Hence, the Buddha is always with us. When our heart returns to its original state to be one and the same as the Buddha, this is Nirvana.
When your heart is the same as the Buddha, are you not in Nirvana? But, just how do you fundamentally penetrate into such a state? It is none other than through our meritorious blessings – the true merits that are free from all kinds of desires.
We should not allow our meritorious blessings to be tainted in any way. You may have performed some virtuous deeds today driven by some motives. However, ‘pure meritorious blessing’ is gained when your deeds are not driven by any ulterior motives; they are virtuous in nature as stated in the Heart Sutra “to realise the Ultimate Nirvana”.
