Master Jun Hong Lu’s Discourse
(Question 264)
10 November 2018
THOUGHT THAT IS ELIMINATED WITHIN 5 SECONDS WILL NOT GENERATE KARMIC OBSTACLES
Question: Master Lu, you mentioned that our evil and unrighteous thought would not generate karmic obstacles within 5 seconds of its arising if the thought is controlled and suppressed quickly at that moment. Even though it hasn’t formed any negative karma, would the heaven and the netherworld still know about it?
Answer: Not that quick, there is an aspect of time here, if the thought is immediately waived within 5 seconds, it will then completely disappear.
However, if you have the thought for 5 minutes, the heaven and the netherworld will all know about it. The thought would be stored in the Eighth Consciousness, and you can’t get rid of it. So, should any unwholesome thought arises, you have to get rid of it within a few seconds, then it will not be recorded.
