You Do Not Have the Right to Own Your Life, Only the Right to Use It


(Translated by Joy Hsiao)

Physical life and death are natural phenomena, and humans cannot control them. However, even though we do not know what will happen tomorrow, we can seize the moment and fully use our bodies for positive purposes.

Master Cheng Yen described this delicate relationship between humans and their bodies as "You do not have the right to own your life, only the right to use it."
