Hung Ying-ming 1596
Life’s fortune and misfortune are caused entirely by the mind. Shakymuni said:
“A burning desire for gain is a pit of fire, and an indulgence in greed is a sea of suffering. Once our mind is purified, a flame is turned into a pool; and once our mind awakens us from a dream of worldliness, our ship of life is anchored along the shore of the Great Beyond.”
Hence, a slight change of the mind can suddenly make a different situation. Should we not be careful?
