Dharma Master Cheng Yen responds to questions and comments from visitors, volunteers, staff, and disciples.
Cultivate Blessings
Question: How can we live a meaningful life?
Answer: When we are in good health, we should cultivate more blessings; when our surroundings permit, we should form more good affinities and not waste time. In this way, we will naturally feel grounded in life.
Let Compassion Guide Interactions
Question: How can ordinary people achieve the most basic level of compassion?
Answer: In our daily lives, we must treat others with love, confidence, and a forgiving heart so that people and matters can be in harmony. When interacting with others, we should try to achieve the state that “there is no one that I do not love, no one that I do not trust, and no one that I cannot forgive.” That is compassion.
Equality Comes from Universal Love
Question: How can we achieve equality?
Answer: If you love everyone, that is equality.
