In this episode, we explore how moral discipline and gratitude spark profound shifts within us—imagine a seed growing into a tree, its roots reshaping the earth. Master Lu guides us through Buddhist teachings, showing how these practices anchor a life of wisdom and compassion.

Master Lu unpacks moral discipline as more than rules—it’s about refining habits, taming tempers, and easing greed and hatred in our thoughts and actions. We see how small justifications, like blunt honesty, ripple outward, shaping karma and our shared world. It’s a foundation for concentration and wisdom, empowering intentional living.

We crescendo with gratitude, a shield against greed, hatred, and ignorance. Master Lu calls it an active practice, not just a feeling, breaking desire’s cycle by focusing on blessings like a friend’s kindness. Paired with discipline, it steadies our minds, proving small acts echo widely.
