HOW TO DETERMINE IF WE ARE CULTIVATING TRUTHFULLY

Wenda20141102A06:29
(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)

Caller:  Many fellow practitioners felt that their fellow mates found them cultivating very well, but could not avoid the calamities or misfortunes when the situation arose. Master Lu said we are not able to judge how others are cultivating, we can only judge for ourselves if we are cultivating truthfully. How do we determine if we are cultivating truthfully?

Master Jun Hong Lu: How do we judge, only you are clear about yourself! Do not let others judge you. True cultivation comes from your heart! Every good and bad thing that you do are with your conscience, don’t you think so?

Caller: Understand, in future when we do anything, we will do it openly for everyone to know, including myself.

Master Jun Hong Lu:  Right! Everything must be above board and open here.  A person who likes to whisper is disrespectful and off the course! What is there to be ashamed of?

Caller: Many fellow practitioners organize group _life liberation_ activities and practice Dharma together, actually, we should spend a little time to cultivate our inner selves, right?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  Be clean about it, three or four people take charge together, understand? Do not let one person take charge or someone too young to be in charge of monies. Why do banks need cashiers and accountants?

Caller: Alright.  Thank you for answering my question, Master Lu.
