TALKING ABOUT OTHERS BEHIND THEIR BACK IS AN ACT OF SOWING DISCORD; REPENT BY RECITING THE EIGHTY-EIGHT BUDDHAS GREAT REPENTANCE

Shuohua20160805  29:26  [Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program]


Caller: Some Buddhist friends have issues with persons-in-charge of Dharma practice centre because of their approaches / ways of doing things, and started to discuss about their ideas and opinions behind their back. Is this considered an act of sowing discord?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, as long as you have stirred things up, you are considered to have sowed discord.

Caller: How severe is the karmic obstacles caused by such behaviour?

Master Jun Hong Lu: It depends, if you keep on sowing discord among others, it will surely be very serious and would end up in hell. However, it would not be a big issue if you only happened to do it by chance, just repent by reciting the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance (Li Fo Da Chan Hui Wen).

Caller: I see, how many times shall we recite the Eighty-eight Buddhas Great Repentance in this case?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Keep reciting.

Caller: Continue to recite until there is no more sense of guilt?

Master Jun Hong Lu: That's right.
