MENTALITY IN BESEECHING BODHISATTVA

Wenda20171105A 13:50
(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)

Caller:  A Buddhist friend is worried that the matter he is praying for will not materialize.  Although he is confident that “all prayers shall be answered” by Guan Yin Bodhisattva, he is also worried that his karmic obstacles may be too substantial or the power of his vow may be insufficient.  Master, may I know how do we overcome this mentality?

Master Jun Hong Lu:   It is not an issue for us to have faith in Guan Yin Bodhisattva and at the same time worried that our karmic obstacles may be too substantial. However, to claim that we have faith in Guan Yin Bodhisattva but at the same time doubt if Bodhisattva is able to help us, is quite a different story and that is where the problem lies. Do you understand?

Caller:  I understand.  Thank you Master for answering my question.
