Caller: Master Lu, time and again you have stressed the importance of mind cultivation; whereby only through proper mind cultivation that one's behaviour will be dignified. To facilitate our self-check and self-reflection, can you advise us what are the benchmarks and characteristics of someone who does it well?
Master Jun Hong Lu: A person who cultivates his mind well:
1. Will not quarrel with the others;
2. Will not scold the others;
3. Will not hold any lustful thoughts towards the others and will not look at anything that stirs lust;
4. They are decent and courteous. They allow others to speak first. They do not tell lies and neither do they incite disharmony.

These are all the obvious characteristics of a person who cultivates well. Fundamentally, a successful person’s behaviour and mannerism would resemble that of Bodhisattva's, which leads others to perceive that he bears a resemblance to Bodhisattva. Contrarily, if a person's behaviour and mannerism bear no resemblance to that of Bodhisattva’s, how could he possibly have cultivated well?
Caller: I understand. Thank you for answering my question, Master Lu.
