Welcome to the Association
May the universe be in harmony, may all beings find their wishes fulfilled through reciting the Buddha's name, and may auspiciousness be found everywhere through the recitation of the Buddha's name.
Without discipline, one will indulge oneself and do as one pleases, creating many troubles in life—one's own troubles and troubles between people; it will also sow the seeds of impermanence and crisis. The many crises in the world are because people have lost the discipline of being human and no longer understand the principles of being human! We should keep the discipline in our hearts so that our minds can be at peace. When we hear good things, we should inspire each other and encourage one another. Only when the mind is at peace can wisdom be developed, and wisdom should be shared among people.
With constant and wise observation, one will naturally discover that a wonderful life comes from experience, and that the various flavors of life, good and bad, are conducive to growth. There is no need to deliberately seek blessings and merits; as long as one's mind is "pure" and undefiled, "clean" and "true," and "genuine" and "true," and one is at ease with the "emptiness, illusion, and the middle way," it is so important to settle the mind in this state.
The words of sages, though numerous, are nothing more than teaching us to reflect and overcome our desires. Reflection is seeing clearly, and overcoming desires is conquering our delusions. When true mind manifests, the light of prajna wisdom, which everyone inherently possesses, can be personally experienced and benefited from. Listening is one of the excellent virtues of those with superior aptitude, followed by honesty, and finally, diligent practice is the driving force for success.
