A WISE PERSON IS ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO LET GO

(Master Jun Hong Lu's Call-In Radio Program)

Master Jun Hong Lu:
We should feel happy while following the path of Buddhism. If a person frequently gossip, he or she will have already become entwined within themselves.  Why do I keep reiterating to the Buddhist monks and my disciples the importance of being magnanimous, not allowing ourselves to become entwined in the right and wrong of this human realm, and learn to let nature take its course?

To break away from affliction is to stop dwelling on matters we should not be thinking about, not doing things that we aren’t supposed to do, and not saying things that we shouldn’t be saying.   Afflictions are a by-product of our speech, actions, and thoughts.

Therefore, a truly wise person is characterized by his or her magnanimity and righteousness.  He or she knows that one’s true nature can only be revealed via a pure heart, and only a wise person can attain enlightenment.

Let me tell you, everything happens for a reason.  Be it love or hatred, it has something to do with your previous life.  Therefore, a truly wise person is one who can look beyond and let go!
