Unlocking our innate unlimited potential
- an introduction to Buddhism
Problem itself won't lead to unhappiness, it's the lack of ability that fundamentally gives rise to sufferings. Buddhism reveals that every individuals possesses unlimited power within our lives and teaches us the way to access our own inner treasure.
The key lies at the erasure of our attachment to ego, and to strive to extend our lives beyond the confinement of a finite self. The concepts of
"self" and "other" is indeed not clearly
divided. Each individual entity embraces each other and all
constitute the universe as a whole. Hence each of our
life permeates the entire universe. Through spiritual
refinement and faithfully transmit our revelations into action, we can
freely manipulate a continual outflow of our mind power and project our internal conceptions and desires manifestly as external
realities. With persistent practice, we can reach the
states of eternity, joy, true-self and purity.
- Discussion of the various states of our life condition
(The theory of Ten Worlds).
- Illustrate the power of mind power (Term in Buddhist
doctrine as the "Three thousand realms in a single
moment of mind")
- The way to master of our mind and revelation of our true potential.

"While
controlling our mind, which is at once both extremely subtle
and solemnly profound, we should strive to elevate our faith
with freshness and vigor. When we do so, both our life and
our surroundings will open wide before us and every action
we take will become a source of benefit. Understanding the
subtle workings of one's mind is the key to faith and
attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime."
