HOW DO WE DETERMINE OUR LEVEL OF KARMIC OBSTACLES?
Caller: How do we determine our level of karmic obstacles?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Normally, if your prayers go unanswered, it is a sign that your karmic obstacle is hefty. Also, if you experience a lot of obstacles in life or have a run of bad luck, it goes to show that you have heavy karmic obstacles.
Caller: For someone who committed a lot of evil deeds in his previous life, but in this life recites the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance (LIFO) three times daily, how long would he need to continue reciting LIFO, in order to eliminate a significant portion of his karmic obstacles and make progress in his spiritual cultivation?
Master Jun Hong Lu: This would largely depend on the karmic force of each individual. I am not able to quote you a universal number. As long as the person feels that things start to run more smoothly, as he presses on with his practice, this is a sign that his karmic obstacles are slowly diminishing.
