PERFORMING DHARMA DANA (SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE OF BUDDHISM)

Shuohua20170127  01:04
(Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program)

Caller: Nowadays, many Buddhist practitioners go all out to disseminate various discourses, videos, recordings and so on. However, before disseminating these materials, they have never carefully listened to them or read them. They share them because they learn from Master Lu that the merits and virtues derived from Dharma Dana are immeasurable. They assume that they will gain virtuous achievements and complete wisdom by doing so. Master Lu, please enlighten us, what will be the retribution from this action?

Master Jun Hong Lu: It will result in negative retribution, and what will that be? It will not only result in the failure to help others but also causes harm to the other party’s spiritual life. For example, it would be easy for me to help someone. However, as your wisdom is imperfect and your cultivation is not up to the mark. Furthermore, you still have your own bad habits that you struggle with, your presence might not be inspiring to the person you are trying to help and might deter him from learning Buddhism. The next time, even if I try to approach him, he will not even listen to me. In this scenario, don’t you think you have harmed that person’s spiritual potential? And do you know what retribution is in store for that? You will descend to the animal realm. Do you understand?
