A Moment, A Lifetime

Book Summary

Discourses in this book cover a wide variety of subjects, including further reflections on the effect individuals have on others; the relationship between the past, present, and future; and the importance of right mindfulness in living a successful life. In a world characterized by the insensitivity to the suffering of others, numbness to violence, and profit-driven decision-making, Venerable Master Hsing Yun's inspirational words serve to redirect our focus onto our own spiritual well-being. He teaches that everything happens in a moment of thought, and we need to be conscious of this simple truth: When we view things with light, then everything glows. When we view things with the confidence of success, then success will be found. When we view with constructive benevolence, then we will be constructive and not sabotage others. Discourses in this book cover a wide variety of subjects, including further reflections on the effect we have on others; the relationship between the past, present, and future; and the importance of right mindfulness in living a successful life. Despite this seeming diversity, a common thread runs throughout the book: now, we have the power to make decisions with favorable and enduring effects.
