Master Jun Hong Lu’s call-in radio program

STRENGTHENING OUR RECITATIONS & STUDYING OF BUDDHISM IN PLAIN TERMS CAN ELIMINATE DISTRACTING THOUGHTS

Caller: Master, we offer Heart Sutra Self Cultivation Record Form to pray for wisdom.  Under normal circumstances, when we have impure thoughts, wrongful desires and difficulty in controlling our selfish distracting thoughts; can we burn a one off 272 times Heart Sutra Cultivation Record Form; and pray to Guan Yin Bodhisattva to help us eliminate them?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, you can. Strengthening your recitations and your studying of Buddhism In Plain Terms can absolutely eliminate your distracting thoughts. The negative energy will reduce immediately once you receive positive energy. For instance, when the sun appears, the moon doesn’t; when the moon appears, we do not see the sun. Learn from Master’s Words Of Wisdom and use them when you introduce the Dharma to others in future. You will find that people will be more receptive towards what you say.  For instance, there is no darkness in the day, hence, when your heart is filled with positive energy, helpfulness, care and concern for others, there will be no room for darkness.

Caller: Alright. Master, in our society “takes on the colour of one’s company” (become like those we associate with). Nowadays, when propagating the Dharma, it’s best to connect with positive energy.

Master Jun Hong Lu: That’s correct. It all depends on the type of friends you mingle with. If you befriend a “Lu” person (Master Lu is referring to himself), you will connect with ‘light’. Conversely, if you hang around with bad companies, you will be morally contaminated, become ‘dark’ in no time.
