Once you make up your mind Just do it
If there are no previous lives,
if there are no next lives,
if there is only one life,
Why would I live for nothing?
I want to live well;
I want to live wonderfully;
I want to achieve the most in life.
I want to live well; I want to live wonderfully; I want to achieve the most in life.
I need to have a very strong mind.
What is a strong mind?
A compassionate mind,
a responsible mind and an aspiring mind.
If you have such a mind, your success is guaranteed.
You are lucky to have met a master like me.
Even if you are a ragged stone,
I can turn you into a diamond,
and make your life incomparably wonderful.
I’m going to train young people here to be
Bodhi’s great lecturers, great Zen masters,
and great organizers,
the organizers covering various countries and regions.
They have the potentials,
so we should think of doing something for society.
This is especially true for those young people
whose energy hasn’t been tapped into.
That is, you have boundless untapped potentials;
you can utilize your energy without limit.
Now you have met a Superior Master.
If he teaches you, then you’re superior too.
If you do not happen to meet any Superior sage,
you may think you’re a low, mediocre person.
It’s not the case.
Young people, if you understand what I’m saying,
if you want to live a more wonderful life,
become a more capable person,
be more charming to serve society,
if you understand me
and start to move toward that goal,
you are not far from success.
Your destiny is
to shoulder some responsibility for society,
That is, as top talents in the society,
we should serve society, create a new world,
and change society for the better.
A low, mediocre person only concerns themselves
with the improvement of his or her own living condition.
All Bodhi disciples,
I would suggest not so nice a word,
in my heart and blood,
runs the belief that
we should reflect the best behavior;
at work,
We should be a workaholic.
I think even this is far from adequate.
A wolf who has been starving for 18 days
would be devouring any food;
we should work and do things in the same spirit.
Only with such motivation
can you achieve something.
Don’t hesitate.
When you get it, just act on it.
Do you understand?
Are you ready?
If you have understood
and you are ready,
Just act.
