By changing your temperament,
you are changing your state of mind.
Treat diligence as your normal mentality,
observe precepts as your daily practice,
and regard jealousy and hatred
as abnormal frames of mind.
-Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 9
脾气的改变就是心态的改变，
精进应该是常态，
守戒应该是姿态，嫉恨就是在变态。

正确的思维比感情更可靠。为别人的幸福而活着的人, 一定是热爱生命的人; 一个有慈悲心、能够帮助别人、救度众生的人, 是一个开悟的人, 一定是一个活得非常幸福的人。
Right thinking is more reliable than sentiment. One who lives for the well-being of others is someone who has passion for life. One who is compassionate, always ready to help and to awaken others spiritually is truly an enlightened individual. They will live a life full of blessings.

Wealth and glory are nothing but vanity;
worldly pleasures and romance are nothing but suffering.
The hard work of our lives will be all in vain, like trying to capture the moon in the water.
When we leave this human world, we take with us nothing but our karma.
Only when we understand this concept can we achieve true liberation, let go of the self, and attain Buddhahood.
世間榮華富貴皆是空，
人間紅塵情愛也是苦;
榮華富貴帶不走，
水中撈月一場空，
一生努力業隨身。
要懂得這些道理，才能真正得到解脫，
才能真正放下自我，才能真正求佛，
才能真正成為佛菩薩。

Only by maintaining concentration can you stay away from worldly thoughts.
Power of concentration and Nirvana are companions.

*THE RECITATION OF THE HEART SUTRA AND THE GREAT* *COMPASSION MANTRA WILL HELP BALANCE THE YIN AND YANG ENERGIES*
Master Jun Hong Lu: The recitation of the Heart Sutra and the Great Compassion Mantra can help us gain wisdom and increase our spiritual energy, respectively. Both are beneficial and can help balance one’s Yin and Yang energies.
Caller: Does it mean a person laden with the Yin energy should recite 49 times of both the Buddhist scriptures?
Master Jun Hong Lu: It’s advisable for such a person to recite both the Great Compassion Mantra and the Heart Sutra. The Heart Sutra has an energy-transformation effect.
For example, you are overloaded with Yang energy, and are on the verge of losing your temper, you will be able to keep your cool and maintain a balanced state of mind the moment you recite the Heart Sutra.
On the contrary, if you have insufficient Yang energy, reciting the Heart Sutra will still be able to help you gain more wisdom and increase your Yang energy. That’s how it works.

Master Jun Hong Lu:
Practising Buddhism is, in many ways, about understanding profound principles. So you must remember: how others behave is their business. As for me, once I’ve chosen this path, I commit to cultivating it wholeheartedly—that’s what it means to have inner steadiness. Think about a monk who has shaved his head, donned his robes, and walks down the street. Even if people point fingers at him and gossip, would he feel uncomfortable? No—he wouldn’t feel a thing, because he has developed true inner steadiness. When you have steadiness, when you embody the qualities of a Bodhisattva, you don’t feel embarrassed or unsettled inside. You feel completely at ease—this is simply who you are. Whatever you do, you do it with confidence, without worrying about what others might say. With this inner steadiness, you’re accumulating merit and virtue. Whether or not I ask you to perform meritorious deeds, you should do them properly. Why? Because you’re not doing it to impress others.

Equanimity is acquired through cultivation, which requires us to learn to get around our mental blocks with wisdom. Regarding our society at large, it is evident that some people are very fortunate while others are miserable and impoverished. In a family, how much effort a husband or wife has put in for the family will, in effect, be the test of their equanimity.

Habit is formed bit by bit.
If we fail to pay attention to the formation of our habits, we may act unwisely in critical moments.

It is predetermined affinity that brings people together.
Instead of clinging to these affinities, we should cherish them.
Embrace all affinities good and bad and let nature take its course.
-Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 2
人和人之间都是缘分，
不攀缘，惜缘，
对善缘、恶缘都要包容，要随缘。
