Excerpts from Supreme Master Ching Hai's Lecture: "In the Zen Buddhist tradition, we also say that the difference between enlightenment and ignorance is just one hair's breadth. That’s it. So, so little is the difference, but how can we traverse this difference? Even though it is so, so subtle, how can we? And can we? The answer is yes. Because the Light that is within us never dies out." "Really there is no difference between enlightened and not enlightened. The only difference is the attention. Pay attention to this body, pay attention to this physical surrounding, pay attention to everything that is in this material world, then we are material beings in the material world. Pay attention to the inward nature of ourselves, pay attention to the Buddha Nature that is always within us, inborn, and never die, then we become Buddhas. This is the only difference. " "Actually, we are already the love, we are already the warmth, we are already the wisdom. It is just that we forget; some of us forget! The people who remember their own Self, God Nature, Buddha Nature, we call them "enlightened beings". And the ones who do not remember their own original nature, we call them "not yet enlightened Buddhas". They both are Buddhas! " |
