RIGHT THOUGHT AND WRONG THOUGHT
Master Jun Hong Lu:
What is Right Thought?
We must understand that what we do and think must be righteous.
This means what you normally do must be just. For everything you do, you do it openly; that is, your action can be brought to light and none of which is below board. All your thoughts are positive because you only think highly of others, you are respectful of them, and treat them with equanimity. This is when your thoughts will gradually resonate with that of Bodhisattvas.
What is Wrong Thought?
If you are suspicious of this person today, hate that person tomorrow, and get greedy the day after tomorrow, what will happen to your conduct when your thoughts are deviated? When you see good things, you want to have them; when you see fame and fortune in the world, you become greedy and you see others with aversion. This is what it means by deviation of thoughts and behaviour.
Instead, if what you do and think is righteous, you will generate a kind of positive energy – your thoughts and the things that you do will be positive.
