Holy Master Ziguang Shang Shi guided the Zen teachers to contemplate the state of our world today:

If there were no humans in the world, it would be silent and lifeless, lacking vitality. Human beings are essential. Yet, when humans exist, conflicts and disputes inevitably arise. What is the root cause?

We are the ones who create and transform the world. The world needs transformation. People seek health and desire peace and stability, not war or suffering. To achieve this, religious harmony must first be realized. Without harmony among religions, conflicts will persist.

Transform devils into Buddhas, evil into goodness, demons into humans, and people into good people. But how can we bring about such transformation?

Now that the pandemic has arrived, how should we perceive the suffering of all beings?
