THE IMPORTANCE OF OBSERVING MORALITY
Master Jun Hong Lu: Observing moral discipline is like having Bodhisattva on top of our head, watching over, protecting and supervising us, so that we do not dare to mess around. If you allow yourself to go crazy as and when you feel like it, or say whatever you want to say, do you think you are observing moral discipline at all?
In this world, we are not supposed to do things according to our whims and fancies because what you say may lead to a fatal disaster that could cause one’s life or other irreversible family tragedies. Can you speak irrationally during a quarrel? You should say nothing because those irresponsible words may cause a family to break up in the future. We should guard against creating bad karma by guarding our speech, thoughts and bodily actions.
