To Wipe the Dust


Just as material things are made of dust, so too are our perceptions and thoughts mere dust. Just as it takes only a moment to wipe the dust from the surface of a mirror, so it takes only a moment to become enlightened; the moment all defiled intentions are cleared from our consciousness, we will see ourselves in the mirror of perfect truth.

    I love your blog. Thank you.

    I took refuge at the (Fo Guang Shan) Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, CA. Hsing Yun is an incredible person.
