"True transformation begins not with outward actions, but with awakening the Buddha nature within" In this episode, we explore Master Jun Hong Lu’s profound teaching on the difference between good deeds, merit, and virtue, drawn from the text Difference Between Good Deeds, Merit, and Virtue.
Master Lu reveals that it is not enough to simply perform good actions—the key lies in acting from an awakened heart, aligned with our Buddha nature.

We discuss how genuine realization transforms everyday deeds into true merit and virtue, while actions motivated by self-interest, no matter how kind they appear, remain merely good deeds.
