Sweet Dew of Grand Master Wei Chueh

All sentient beings have the Buddha nature within.
Therefore, besides cherishing our own life, we should also respect the lives of all sentient beings.

Sweet Dew of Grand Master Wei Chueh:

The mind should be lucid and clear, thinking neither of the past, present, nor future. This present mind must always be in command and imperturbable. To abide in “this-mind” is what is called “to live in the present.”

Sweet Dew of Grand Master Wei Chueh:

The aim of practicing Buddhism is to free the mind from the influence of external circumstances and maintain peace and serenity within.

Sweet Dew of Grand Master Wei Chueh:

The Bodhisattva is not just a kind of form or appearance, but is the pure intention to benefit all sentient beings

Sweet Dew of Grand Master Wei Chueh:

When we realize our original mind and nature through the Zen practice, our existence will be replete with infinite life, brightness, and wisdom, and we can transcend impermanence and the cycle of birth and death.

Sweet Dew of Grand Master Wei Chueh:

Having good thoughts is heaven.
When the mind is lucid and pure,
this is the Pure Land.

Sweet Dew of Grand Master Wei Chueh:

“The Principle of Causality (cause and effect) in Buddhism actually teaches us to depend on our own diligent efforts. If we understand our life then we can direct our life. If you can perceive these truths clearly, then you can understand your fate and create/establish your fate.”
