(Master Jun Hong Lu's call-in radio program)
Caller: Let’s say if I analyse and discuss someone’s shortcomings with other Buddhist friends with the intention of learning from and using it to serve as a warning to avoid making the same mistake, is it considered as an act of committing karma of speech, or gossiping behind others’ back?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Do not do it! It is indeed committing karma of speech. Do not try to find excuses! Talking or gossiping behind others’ back are acts of gossipers. Do not find yourself excuses, such as, “Oh, I just wanted to avoid making the same mistake.” Can’t you think over it by yourself at home? Why do you have to do so?
Caller: Now I understand, Master.
Master Jun Hong Lu: Such behaviour is very undignified and should never be done.
Caller: I am truly sorry, Master.
