The first things we should learn as a Buddhist practitioner are: to never feel as if we are being unfairly treated or wronged, never feel sad, and never get frustrated or worried. This is because everything in life is impermanent, it ebbs and flows in the blink of an eye. When we see the truth of life, we become enlightened. When we are free from afflictions, our wisdom shines.

学佛学做人首先要没有委屈、 不难过不苦恼,因为人生无常,来去匆匆。要想得通就是开悟, 没有烦恼就是有智慧。

SPEND YOUR TIME WISELY

Master Jun Hong Lu: A wise person will always use his spare time to work on his own future. For example, we should spend every bit of spare time we’ve got reciting sutras to protect ourselves from getting sick in the future, just as we spend our spare time exercising to stay healthy.

To acquire sustainable spiritual strength and success, we must use all our time to do what is necessary.

In every era, there are a great number of Bodhisattvas who have succeeded in their cultivation. The secret to their success is, when other people are indulging themselves in world enjoyments, they are quietly cultivating themselves, helping people realise the importance of spirituality, and giving a hand to those in need. When other people still cannot see through the true face of the world, those who want to be Bodhisattvas have already gained insights into the true meaning of life. Therefore, when others begin to suffer and think it is about time to start searching for what truly matters in life, those aspirers have already succeeded in their cultivation, becoming Bodhisattvas!
While in the human realm, train your heart to be compassionate so that you can return to heaven. If you still harbour greed, hatred and delusion, you will not achieve any level of spirituality in this life.
在人间把心修成慈悲心,才能回到天上;如果有贪瞋痴,一生什么境界也没有。

Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5
Human beings live in impermanence, and all things are created by the mind. As such, by controlling your mind, you control your world.
人是活在无常中的,万物唯心造。
控制好自己的心念,
至少控制了自己的世界。


Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 9
Learning Buddhism is to learn to adjust your state of mind.

*BE COMPASSIONATE AND ALLOW OUR HEART TO BE LIKE THE SEA*

Master Jun Hong Lu: See the world through your eyes, and the world appears small; See the world through your heart, and you will find the world to be boundless. Treat others with compassion and your heart will be as encompassing as the vast ocean, which receives hundreds of rivers. There are many matters in life where we must rely on our wisdom and genuine intentions to resolve our troubles.
📢📢📢 Factors influencing a person's wealth: in addition to past life charity, the more you give in this life, the more wealth you will have‼️

Male Listener: Is a person's wealth in this life predetermined by their past life?

But I heard on the program that some people were supposed to have good wealth in their fate, but they lost it all in this life.

Master, besides the charity done in past lives, what other factors in this life affect a person's wealth?

Master Lu: Charity, continue to give. When you get money, never think it is yours. It belongs to all sentient beings, to everyone.

Listener: Right.

Master Lu: You must continue to give. The more you give in this life, the more wealth you will have.

Let me give you a simple example. If you want to draw water from a well, you must first pour some water into the pump to get the water out. If you don't have any water, how can you pump water out?

This means that without morality, you cannot gain wealth. You need to learn to give to have more financial luck.

Listener: Understood.

*WE SHOULD NOT LIVE OUR LIVES BLAMING OTHERS*

Master Jun Hong Lu: We should not live our lives blaming others. *Instead of finding fault with others, we must often reflect on our own mistakes.* When you are afflicted, as much as possible, you must look for ways to apply wisdom to resolve the issue at hand, instead of stirring up more troubles. This is because a troubled person tends to invite more troubles.

How do we free ourselves from all afflictions? This calls for the need to *always be humble and to embrace a penitent heart.*

But that’s not all that you need to have. Did you know of a far-more important characteristic that you need to have so that you do not incite more troubles? It is *a loving heart.*

*If you are able to love others, resentment will never find a place in your heart.* Without resentment, there is no way that you will make mistakes and hence, there isn’t even a need to have a penitent heart. After all, there is no mistake to repent of.
