A Gift of Dharma for 3.20.10

Today’s quote is from Venerable Master Hsuan Hua (1918-1995), founder of the Dharma Realm Buddhist Association, as well as many temples and centers, including the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Ukiah, CA.  This is it:

When one does what Buddhas do, one is a Buddha.
When one does what Bodhisattvas do, one is a Bodhisattva.
When one does what Arhats do, one is an Arhat.
When one does what ghosts do, one is a ghost.
These are all natural phenomena.
There are no shortcuts in cultivation.
