That was something that Venerable Hsing Yun had said.
And I totally agree with that statement.
It is often very easy to push responsibility of anything to others. To say that they should have done this or that.
Well, if we had taken up the responsibility from the start, the end goal would have materialised.
A similiar example is world peace. It is not enough to pay lip service and say that we want world peace, when deep in our hearts, we are still judging and discriminating against the others.
Buddha nature is in each of us. As such (or even if not), Buddhism should begin with each one of us.
How can we expect others to take action, or do the things we believe in, if we are not doing so ourselves?
