WILL BEING FASCINATED TOWARDS CERTAIN THINGS AFFECT OUR EFFORT TO BE LIBERATED FROM THE CYCLE OF REBIRTH?

Wenda20160729  30:09  [Master Jun Hong Lu's call-in radio program]

Caller:  Master Lu, if we tend to be fascinated towards certain things in this world, like soccer or basketball, we may not watch the entire game but will be attentive to scores and players.  Will it affect our effort to be liberated from the cycle of rebirth?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  Generally, this is not an issue as long as it does not involve creation of major karma.  But if you are highly fascinated by it, it will result in formation of karmic consequence.  If you neglect your recitation as you spend your entire day watching football matches, don't you think there will be karmic consequences?  Especially when you have made a vow with regards to your recitation.
