Inspirational story about Master Lu:
Master Lu used to live a very prosperous life. However, to help more people learn Buddhism and understand the Law of Cause and Effect, he sold his house and used the money to start his own radio station— the Australia Oriental Radio.
At the early stage, Master Lu had no helper because the labour costs were very high in Australia. Master Lu had to do everything on his own; he even wrapped the electronic wire by himself. Later on, after seeing Master Lu working so hard, several people decided to help him out.
Master Lu and his family live in a two-bedroom unit, which is smaller than a hundred square metres. Many of us have a living place much bigger than Master Lu’s.
Master Lu has been using his spiritual power to help people for decades, but this has a great impact on his health: Many spirits occupy Master Lu’s body and cause serious damage to his organs. As a result, Master Lu has little appetite and only eats very simple food such as vegetables and noodles.
Do you notice that Master Lu has lost a lot of weight?
Do you notice that Master Lu wears the same type of black suit every day?
Have you ever heard that Master Lu’s shoes were worn out and had holes in the soles?
Have you ever heard that Master Lu sold his house to start his own radio station?
Do you know that Master Lu spend all his income on promoting Buddhism?
Do you know that Master Lu declines the offer from his followers in France to pay for the venue for his dharma talk?
Do you also notice that Master Lu never accept any offerings from us?
Master Lu once said,
“I ask nothing of you. I only want you to live a better life! I want your life to be better now!”
“Help more people…We need to help more people by encouraging them to practice Buddhism throughout their lives, not just to recite Buddhist scriptures for a few months!”
No matter how hard we try to propagate Buddhism, we will never be able to repay the kindness of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Master Lu. I couldn’t help crying whenever I think about Master Lu. There is no reason for me not to recite scriptures and practice Buddhism diligently. Only by becoming one of the thousand arms and thousand eyes of Guan Yin Bodhisattva and introducing Buddhism to more people can we live up to Master Lu’s expectations. All the efforts that we’ve made and the disrespect we’ve experienced are in no way comparable to the hardship that Master Lu has been through.
