THE MIND IS THE ROOT OF ALL INTERNAL DISORDERS
Master Jun Hong Lu: There is another type of ailment that we humans suffer from and that is, internal disorder. We are highly vulnerable emotionally, either due to the lack of understanding from others or our lack of understanding towards others. All of these are capable of causing us harm and have a significant bearing on our health.
Jealousy, resentment, greed and ignorance are sources of internal disorders. Those who harbour jealousy towards others over a prolonged period will feel intensified pain in their heart over time. People who always bear grudges towards others will experience worsening dry eyes and heartbreaks.
The Bodhisattva advises us, “To do away with our internal disorders, the best method is to do no evil”. I shall now caution that not only it is important to do no evil, all of you must think no evil and do all good.
For some physical ailments, certain medication may help restore your health. But, in the case of internal disorders, you must “think no evil” and dedicate yourself to a life of good deeds.
