PRACTISE FORBEARANCE AND ELIMINATE RESENTMENT
Master Jun Hong Lu: Everyone has negative emotions. What is the clinical expression of negative emotions in the modern context? It’s anger and hatred. Therefore, once a person harbours anger and hatred towards someone, it means that he is having a negative mindset and is no longer upright.
In fact, a kind and positive person is full of vigour and is hopeful about life. If a person goes, “I hate it so much; I am so angry.” It is impossible for a person with such a negative mindset to be someone who understands his mind and sees his true nature.
Would an enlightened person hate others? Human beings inherently possess Buddha-nature. Do you think a person who understands his mind and sees his true nature would have negative emotions?
