- Master JiGong told his disciples,
- "Our spirit and life is grasped within our
hands
- The homeward path would be overgrown with
- Weeds and thorns if we do not walk on it
- All these weeds are actually grown and
nurtured by oneself
- It is not Heaven above that stands in your
way
- Purposely and gives you the barriers
- If you wish to put an end to this
sufferings
- You must make contributions and build your
virtues
- Only with true merits and honest
repentance
- Can Heaven offer true help"
- It is said that human existence has more sufferings than joy
- In true cultivation of TAO
- One must have an aspiration, an ideal and a goal
- So Master JiGong further said,
- "Recognize the directions clearly
- Turn the steering wheel on seeing the wind
(grip opportunities)
- Rebuild a new life and seek the root
- Throw away and let go all greed, anger,
ignorance and blind love and passion
- To the ones with affinity, the saints are
beckoning from afar
- Disciples, do encourage yourself and do
cultivate with haste."
- The weeds and thorns are our wrong doings
- Reap what you sow
- It is the universal Truth
- Our direction must be clear and not clouded with impurities
- The problems usually are
- People know but do not do the clearing of the weeds and thorns
- Or just pure ignorance of the weeds and thorns
- Or simply too much greed, anger and selfishness
- Or simply the results cannot be seen instantly
- Or simply taking the immediate enjoyments that breed the weeds
and thorns
- Not bothering of what to come
- Human fears effect
- Bodhisattva fears cause
- Cause and effect is the universal Truth
- Rid off the bad causes
- Is ridding off the weeds and thorns
- Heaven will then offer true help
- The harvest will be bountiful
- Without weeds and thorns.
