WILL WEARING DRESSES AT NIGHT CAUSE LEAKAGES OF ONE’S ‘QI’ (ENERGY)?
Caller: It was extremely hot yesterday in Melbourne. Due to the hot weather, I went to a symphony opera show in a dress. I remember Master Lu once mentioned that wearing dresses at night would cause one’s ‘Qi’ or energy to leak. Therefore, I recited three times of the Great Compassion Mantra upon reaching home. Is this alright?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Wearing dresses in summer does not pose much of an issue. Leakages of ‘Qi’ or energy refer to the ‘Yin’ nature of nightfall. Females are ‘Yin’ in nature. When they wear clothes that are revealing and overly exposed, it will aggravate their ‘Yin’ condition. This makes them susceptible to catching a cold or being assailed by those ‘Yin’ elements.
A lady who is properly dressed will not invite the ‘fanciful’ thoughts from men. However, if she is scantily dressed, she will definitely stimulate these wild thoughts from the men. It is not so bad if the men she meets are the good ones as they may, at most, steal a glance at her. However, her dressing may cause those bad hats to commit evil deeds.
Don’t you think your dressing can be a motivation for others to commit crime? Although this may not be the main reason, it can be a factor.
Things that are ‘Yin’ in nature must be kept hidden. Do not expose them. Money is one example. Who would let their money be exposed and out in the open? If you leave your wallets exposed, you stand the risk of being robbed. Not only would you put your life in danger, you would also be inviting yourself to a lot of trouble.
Caller: But the dress I wore was a knee-length dress.
Master Jun Hong Lu: No problem then. After all, you don’t do this often and hence, you need not get too serious about it. Furthermore, you are someone who performs recitation of the Buddhist scriptures, so it is not a big problem.
Caller: I see. Thank you Master for your guidance. Please take care of yourself.
Master Jun Hong Lu: Bye for now.
