Put Oneself in Someone Else’s Shoes Our identities keep changing in the cycle of rebirths. Today we abuse animals and hurt others, and tomorrow we will be treated in the same way if not worse. Do not impose on others what we ourselves do not desire. Learning to put ourselves in others' shoes is a basic social virtue, as well as the empathy we should have towards animals.   —Master Jiqun

Raging Currents of Life

Like raging currents, life continues similarly and changes ceaselessly, which is neither eternal nor nihilistic. Various psychological factors formed by our thoughts and behaviors are the core force to propel the continuation of life.

Let the Soul Keep up the Pace

Let the soul keep up the pace! Hope the positive growth of our minds can keep pace with the fast-changing science and technology so that less tragedies will happen.

Eyes' Fascination with Five Colors

Eyes' fascination with five colors does not mean that eyes are fascinated, but that minds are captured, and thus the eyes become the captives.

Note: In Buddhism, five colors refer to the basic colors of green, yellow, red, white and black, meaning gorgeous objects.

Management of Environments

Good management of living environments contributes to the control of spiritual environments. Only by good control of spiritual environments can we better manage all environments.

Distance

Distance lends enchantment to the view, because it leaves people with room for imaginations. When facing yourself, do not be deluded by distance. You should see clearly who you really are rather than who you assume you are.

Seemingly Real

Some people always live in fantasy, a seemingly real world where they try hard to chase illusions and successfully get themselves deceived.

Deception and Honesty

Deception invites deception, while honesty attracts honesty. One may succeed by deceiving others for a short time, but only honesty can earn him credibility in the long run. After all, one will reap what he has sown.

Progress and Degenerate

Too many emotions veil sincere feelings. Too much knowledge overwhelms an innate conscience. While the world is progressing, people’s mind is degenerating.

Self-Criticism

One needs to learn self-criticism. However what one does not need to learn is to use it for self-protection, a common trick played by an unenlightened person who reveals a tiny problem to divert attention so as to cover up bigger ones.

Every Thought Is Impermanent

Every single thought in the mind is impermanent. Having such a mind and living in such an equally impermanent world, yet one constantly longs for eternity. How tiring it is!
