IT IS ESSENTIAL TO VERIFY THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE DISCOURSE BEFORE SHARING IT ONLINE
Caller: Master, many Buddhist practitioners post the dharma teachings on the internet However, some of them have been involved in actions that are contrary to proper conduct and teachings.
Lately, we have noticed some public social media accounts bearing names similar to those we commonly used. However, these accounts contain defamatory allegations. Unfortunately, some fellow practitioners have the habit of forwarding such messages without fact-checking. By doing so, they are inadvertently assisting the perpetrators in disseminating a great deal of negative information.
In light of this, I hereby would like to remind everyone to examine the content and ensure its authenticity before sharing, in order to avoid creating karmic obstacles upon yourself.
Master Jun Hong Lu: Excellent point.
