WHAT CONSTITUTES DILIGENCE? ALL-ENCOMPASSING DILIGENCE
Caller: Master, you often make comments about those who have been very diligent in their cultivation. I am in the opinion that just by being diligent in performing recitation is far from enough. One needs to study Buddhism in Plain Terms, keep the “body, speech and mind” pure, help others, and constantly reflect on oneself. Can all these be considered as qualities of being diligent?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, one’s diligence should be all-encompassing. For example, you cannot deem a child good, just by him being good at doing the house chores. He must be good at work, study, etc. It should be the comprehensive kind of diligence.
