Selections of Master's Dharma Talks

Cultivating being bearing is the first chapter in learning the Buddha Dharma, and is a must before we cultivate the mind.



Cultivating and practicing the Buddha Dharma helps us to embrace life and work with a broader frame of mind.



Cultivate with a singular focus. If you can make it, you are already onboard a ship having set sail, and will come to feel the pleasure of cultivation.




There is no difference between the Dharma doors but between the people, and therefore the different expedient means employed. That is why the Three Vehicles.



Work on the mind whatever you do. Everything evolves from the mind. You’ll certify to fruits of Buddha Dharma by cultivating the mind.



There is no savior. You have to cultivate with a singular focus and work on your mind to change the predestined fate.

The Meaning of Life --Master Zhenlin

The meaning of life is realized by cultivation, through which we find our True-self. It is not easy for us to be born in the secular world. Do not squander the time spent here. We come to the world to get back the foundations we have previously laid.



Let me draw an analogy. Someone went to the United States to do business. He struck it rich there, and returned with a good fortune.



For a long time, he did not remember that he had a big bank saving in the United States until one day he tought of such a bank account. However, he could not remember the password to the account.



He tried all he could to find the password out. When he did, he checked the account, and was surprised to find that he had such an amount of saving big enough to make him a billionaire.



As a cultivator, we practice the Dharma to get the password back and by the time we get access to the account, we shall find outselves a billionaire, too.



If we do not cultivate, we simply keep squandering the wealth we have, until one day we spend it all, without knowing we in fact could have another big amount of saving.
