When the wisdom sun rises, it is gone.

In the midst of misfortune, some people think that their ill fortune is divinely assigned and that it is useless to struggle against this godly design. In relinquishing their individual responsibility, they became glum, frustrated, and passive. They put their precious future into the hands of their imagined gods and willingly become enslaved. Buddhism, however, believes that destiny is within our control. Nobody, not even gods, can dictate our destinies. We are our own masters; we are the architects of our own future. The Buddha is a good example that we can emulate.
The process of cultivation is none other than the cleansing of our hearts and the purification of our lives. When the sky is clear, the moon will naturally shine through. Similarly, when we are purified, we will join the ranks of Buddhahood in the ultimate emptiness. It is my greatest hope that we can all build brilliant destinies for ourselves with this wisdom.

作者：星雲大師
The mind is capable of creating,
as well as transforming karma.
If we are constantly mindful,

On the other hand, if we harbor negative thoughts in mind,
we would easily squander merits away.

Q: Origin of Buddha Image/Statue?
A: After Buddha’s enlightenment, he went to Heaven to teach the Dharma to his deceased mother. During Buddha’s absence from the human world, King Udayana of Kausambi thought of the Buddha day and night. In order to relieve himself of the longing that he had, the king commissioned an artist to carve a five foot tall figure of the Buddha in sandalwood. It is believed that this is the first Buddha image/statue -
