[emoji92]HOW NOT TO BE BEWILDERED AND TO LOOK BEYOND THE SURFACE OF MATTERS?[emoji92]
Male Listener : Master Lu, our tendency of grasping the form of things often bewilders us and results in our attachment. How can we be like Master, always seeing things from the perspective of “cause and effect” and “affinity”, so as not to be bewildered and to look beyond the surface of matters?
Master Lu : It’s very simple. Think of yourselves as Bodhisattva, as Buddha at all times. Keep telling yourselves that, “whatever I do today, my words, my deeds, they must be emulations of Bodhisattva, I must live a life of Buddha in this human realm, I live NOT for myself".
Whatever you do, your very first thought should be "I am a Buddha, I am a Bodhisattva". With this, there is no way you will commit any mistakes. For example, when a man is charmed by the appearance of a girl, if the first thought that surfaced in his mind is “ I am Bodhisattva”. Don’t you think this sentiment will take a turn? If you see some obscene writings or images on your computer, and, a thought surfaced “Oh, I am a Bodhisattva”. Would you still have the courage to read further? You have to be strict to yourself every single moment. There is no two ways about it. Do not allow yourself to commit any mistakes, take it as if you are treading on thin ice. I am no different from all of you. It is all about having strict self-discipline. Do you understand? (I understand. Thank you Master for answering my question).
