【悟性、开悟和觉悟有何不同】

女听众：悟性、开悟和觉悟三者的不同点呢？

台长答：悟性是什么？悟性是感悟，能够理解了，对一件事情的初步理解叫“悟性”。开悟，你已经明白了，悟性是刚刚开始，对这件事情的初步了解叫“悟性”，“开悟”已经懂了、明白了。觉悟是已经明白里边的道理，并知道应该怎么去做了，而且已经完全摆脱了自己在这件事情里边的困扰。觉了，才能开悟，佛的名字就叫觉悟。

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING THE POWER OF UNDERSTANDING, WISDOM AND TO BE ENLIGHTENED

Caller: What is the difference between these three concepts – the power of understanding, wisdom and to be enlightened?

Master Jun Hong Lu: What does it mean by having the power of understanding? The power to understand is the equivalent of coming to a recognition and making sense of something. In other words, when one is at the early stages of truly realizing the truths of a matter, that is known as having the power of understanding.

As for wisdom, that is when one has already come to a realization. If understanding refers to baby steps towards making sense of a matter, to have wisdom refers to complete understanding and realization.

Finally, enlightenment comes when one is able to fully grasp the underlying reasons behind a matter and knows the best course of action. An enlightened person would also have already broken free and not be susceptible to any disturbances that may result from this matter. Only those who have come to an awakening can gain true wisdom; and that is why a Buddha is known as The Enlightened One.
