WE SHOULD NOT LIVE OUR LIVES BLAMING OTHERS
Master Jun Hong Lu: We should not live our lives blaming others. Instead of finding fault with others, we must often reflect on our own mistakes. When you are afflicted, as much as possible, you must look for ways to apply wisdom to resolve the issue at hand, instead of stirring up more troubles. This is because a troubled person tends to invite more troubles.
How do we free ourselves from all afflictions? This calls for the need to always be humble and to embrace a penitent heart.
But that’s not all that you need to have. Did you know of a far-more important characteristic that you need to have so that you do not incite more troubles? It is a loving heart.
If you are able to love others, resentment will never find a place in your heart. Without resentment, there is no way that you will make mistakes and hence, there isn’t even a need to have a penitent heart. After all, there is no mistake to repent of.
