THE DEFINITION OF TOLERANCE FOR WORDS, PEOPLE AND MATTERS
Caller: Master has mentioned before that, there are three aspects of tolerance, namely the tolerance for words, people and matters. Would you please elaborate further, Master?
Master Jun Hong Lu: ‘Tolerance for appearance’ is to be tolerant of others regardless of their physical appearance. Similarly, when it comes to ‘tolerance for words’, we should be forgiving no matter what others might have said.
As for ‘tolerance for people’, be forbearing with others despite their speech and action.
And when you have ‘tolerance for matters’, it means you have tolerance for all the good and bad in others as you allow nature to take its course. Don’t you think with this ability to forgive all, you are practising tolerance? You are essentially steadfast in tolerance.
Caller: I understand now.
