Therefore, we need to learn how to let go of our discriminating minds and our attachments to people and things. For example, when two disciples have different opinions in conversation, how should they go about reaching consensus? Reconciling these differences requires the Bodhisattva’s wisdom. Only with a good grasp of this concept is it possible to resolve the disagreements and conflicts whenever they arise.
This approach, although sophisticated and profound, is essentially about finding common ground so that both parties are able to share the same fundamental view. Otherwise, there is no hope for satisfactory resolution. It is worth pointing out that resolving differences does not require the suppression of yourself. Do not even try to suppress your anger. Rather, you should learn to defuse such instances of tension.

Master Jun Hong Lu:
The ultimate perfect wisdom refers to being completely free of any speck of confusion about the truth of the universe and of life. In other words, if you can calmly think, observe, and perfectly resolve a problem, you are said to possess perfect wisdom. Without perfect wisdom, your success rate will be reduced to half, but once you have acquired it, success awaits you in every endeavour.

THE INTERNET IS THE BEST PLATFORM BESTOWED BY BODHISATTVA FOR US TO PERFORM THE GIVING OF DHARMA
Caller: Hi Master, you mentioned in one of the radio programs that among the three types of Giving, the Giving of dharma engenders the greatest merits. Let’s say, you distribute some Buddhist books to some people, who start reading them, the merits gained are immeasurable.
Assuming seven people read the books, does it mean that the merits generated are as much as seven towers of seven-storey Buddhist pagodas (七层宝塔).
Based on this concept, if our postings of the dharma material on the internet manage to encourage seven people to practise Buddhism, am I right to say that the merits engendered are similarly as much?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Not exactly. As long as one out of the seven people reads your online postings and shows repentance, you are considered to have saved one life – an immeasurable meritorious deed that is analogous to building a seven-storey pagoda.
Saving a person’s life can be likened to building a seven-storey pagoda. As the saying goes, “Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-storey pagoda” (救人一命胜造七级浮屠), which essentially means the act of saving one life generates boundless merits.
Caller: Master, if someone practises the dharma because of our online postings of dharma discourses, is it right that the merits are as much as building a seven-storey pagoda?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Absolutely!
Caller: Come to think of it, the online Giving of dharma is very effective.
Master Jun Hong Lu: It’s terrific! Currently, the internet is the best platform bestowed by Bodhisattva for us to perform the Giving of dharma.
