The Buddha says: A person who walks on the path of spiritual cultivation is like one taking a lamp into a dark room: the darkness immediately disappears, and the room is filled with light.
People turn on lights to see, but true light comes from the heart. You do not need to light lamps before the Buddha’s statue. It is more important to light the lamp of your heart.
In this modern world, people think it is better to be a prostitute than to be poor. So I’m going to make as much money as I can. Money does not bring happiness in life. Do all you can to help others while you are young. Don’t just let your life slip by. |
