THE EMERGENCE OF ALL KINDS OF WORRIES IN THIS WORLD ARE OPPORTUNITIES GIVEN TO US TO DISCOVER OUR SHORTCOMINGS

Excerpt from Master Jun Hong Lu's Public Talk, Jakarta, Indonesia
11 March 2018

Master Jun Hong Lu: The fame, status and wealth owned by a person are just temporary and will never bring us eternal happiness; conversely, these will create worries for us.  

Many people asked me: “Master Lu, what is the source of vexation?”  Let me tell you; you are the source of vexation! 

You are being angry because you are intolerant;
You are being depressed because you lack sunshine in the heart;
You are worried because you lack wisdom;
You are grieved because you lack inner strength;
You are resentful because you lack compassion;
You are jealous because you are daunted by an inferiority complex.
Every vexation is caused by ourselves.
You must remember this:
The rising of all kinds of worries are opportunities for us to discover our shortcomings.
