In Buddhist terms, we need to have the potential for awakening within our hearts. If you attain awakening through the help of others, it is not a true awakening. True awakening has to be attained through our own effort.
佛法界讲，自己心中要有悟性，如果通过别人让你开悟，那是假悟；要自己悟出来，才是真悟。
– Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 2
