Master Jun Hong Lu's Discourse (148)
February 2, 2017
Q: If one with higher state of mind repents frequently, even towards matters that didn’t cause any karmic debts, does this generate merits?
A: Frequent repentance is not regarded as a meritorious act, but is helpful in eliminating karmic debts speedily, thereby making your prayers more efficacious. Many people think they manage to hide away from Bodhisattvas, but they are simply fooling themselves. Need not be embarrassed; just confess to Bodhisattvas, as the saying goes: 'Leniency to those who confess and severity to those who resist'. It is even worse when you get caught red-handed. Heaven’s vengeance is slow but sure. You either do not commit any wrongdoing or be prepared for getting caught.
