LEARN TO VISUALISE AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHTS
Master Jun Hong Lu: In fact, visualisation is a way to train your thoughts – where you contemplate if your thoughts are righteous or not. If you make it a habit to do so, your thoughts will not go wrong.
You have to pay attention to the fact that you have a lot of negative karma from your past life which you need to clean up gradually and hence, the need to train your thoughts.
For example, some negative thoughts flash through your mind today. In that instant, you should ask yourself “Should I do it?” The next time such negative thoughts arise, you are aware that you should not do it that way. Through this, the right mental attitude will naturally take shape.
You should always train your thoughts. When a negative thought arises, you should immediately restrain it, and then cover it with another thought to block it.
