Quotes
[edit]- A child, crafting a sand pagoda with a pure heart, can achieve rebirth in the Thirty-Three Heavens. Conversely, those who construct tangible pagodas driven by worldly ambitions for fame and material wealth find themselves unable to ascend to the heavenly realms.
- HH Grand Master Sheng-Yen Lu, founder of the True Buddha School, as quoted at https://chinyintemple.ca/
- Not all Buddhists like the True Buddha School, and some find the grandiose claims [founder Lu Sheng-Yen] advances for himself unacceptable.
