Master Lu’s last words of advice to Buddhist friends around the world
Greetings to Buddhist friends around the world.
It has been a long time since we last met.
Over the past year, I really miss all of you and you are always on my mind. All of you are seeds of Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. No matter where I am, I will always be in the heart of each and every one of you. May the compassion of Guan Yin Bodhisattva forever brighten your hearts. I love all of you very much. It is my hope that you will persist in walking the path of the Buddha and never abandon your practice!
Over a decade’s hard work to spread the Buddha-dharma has exhausted me physically. I have also borne very heavy burden of karma accordingly. That said, I have never relented in giving blessings to each and every one of you.
I truly hope you can study Buddhism in Plain Terms and my discourses diligently every day. Adhering to the teachings and observing the precepts are the basis for attaining Buddhahood.
With all your heart, make more efforts for the benefit of sentient beings, eradicate attachment and the notion of self. Always be grateful for the grace and kindness bestowed upon you by the Buddha, your country, your teacher, your parents and sentient beings. Along the path to Buddhahood, one must be sincere and truthful, full of courage and vigour, diligent, always thinking for the benefit of living beings, and dedicated to practising Buddhism.
Sakyamuni Buddha and Guan Yin Bodhisattva will always bless those who uphold the Right Faith and Right Mindfulness. The teachings of the Buddha need to be passed on from generation to generation. I will endeavour to steer all of you to the shore of enlightenment. I truly hope that you will cherish this last Dharma vessel in this Age of Dharma Decline. I treat the suffering of sentient beings as my own suffering. It is my wish that you attain Buddhahood in this lifetime to repay the kindness of the Buddha.
Master
