A Moment of Reflection in the New Year
Upon the arrival of the Lunar New Year, we dearly send our best wishes to all members of UHBE discipline, wishing everyone a New Year filled with love, happiness, and prosperity; wishing all continue to ascend on the journey of spiritual cultivation, following the teachings of the Founder Master.
We wish that all continue to cultivate virtue and accumulate more merits, contributing to the development of a solid foundation of spirituality. Together we help building our UHBE discipline to become stronger and bringing the light of the Founder Master’s teachings to all of humankind. May His light of compassion always be in our hearts. Only when we have ascended minds, aiming to serve for the benefit of others and turning inwards, will we be able to see this sacred light.
The dharma that our teachers have been teaching us reflects the sacred light of compassion. His light of compassion guides us to the Truth, the equality and the harmony. Regarding the Truth, there is no action nor reaction; there is no good nor evil; there is no right nor wrong; there is no false nor real. The Light of Truth is here, right within all of us. Let His light of compassion shine on our hearts and minds as we strive on the path of cultivation and service. Cultivation is self-correction, self-improvement, and self-sacrifice to the service. In so doing, we develop true happiness for others and ourselves.
As we celebrate the lunar New Year, let us be the genuine disciples who are blessed with the loving embrace of the Founder Master and Thầy and Cô. We should register deep in our minds the invaluable teachings of the Founder Master. They are the bells that are ringing unceasingly to assist us in facing endless chaos and turbulence in daily activities of life and in every minute of meditation.
May we all remain loyal to the Founder Master and to our teachers, Thầy and Cô.
