KARMA OF SPEECH IS THE EASIEST WAY FOR ONE TO SHOULDER THE KARMIC OBSTACLES OF OTHERS
Master Jun Hong Lu: In today’s society, you commit karma of speech not only through words uttered but also through words written. When you post an article online to criticise others, or make a sarcastic remark about someone, aren’t you committing karma of speech? The on-line slanders, though non-verbal, have cast aspersions on the person, stirring up others’ misunderstanding towards him. In this regard, aren’t you committing karma of speech?
A new age comes with new karmic obstacles. In the past, when there was no computer, karma of speech was committed verbally. Now, this can be done with your hands. Even when you are not speaking, you are still committing karma of speech through your written messages shared online, aren’t you?
