HOW THE HUMAN BODY REGULATES ITSELF DURING THE FIFTH LUNAR MONTH – THE “MONTH OF POISON”
Caller: Master, every fifth lunar month is commonly known as the “Month of Poison”, of which the “Nine Poison Days” (i.e. fifth, sixth, seventh, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh days of the fifth lunar month) are perceived to be exceptionally lethal. There is a hearsay that it is best to exercise sexual abstinence during these nine days. Is this true?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, that is correct. This refers to the second month of a season, that is the middle of the month. As you are aware, the human body needs a certain period to regulate and adjust itself. This phase of recovery can be likened to the menstrual cycle that ladies go through every month; likewise, the men.
You may ask, when is this phase of recovery for men then? I believe many of you do not know about it. It is actually on Fridays. Men usually find Fridays the most enjoyable, knowing that the ensuing Saturdays and Sundays are time for relaxation and rest. Even if they have to work on these days, they will still feel particularly stress-free. This is why men are usually in a good mood on Fridays.
If you need to head down to the government agencies to seek someone’s approval for certain things, the process would be particularly smooth sailing if you do so on Fridays. This is because the person in charge will be eagerly looking forward to the upcoming two days of break. In this case, it can also be considered a period of recovery.
Ladies are not supposed to go through constant physiological stimulus. During their menstrual period, physically they will need to go through a process of readjustment. Just like a watch that has lost its accuracy and in order to regain this function, it must be reset once a month.
The same applies to climatology. There are four seasons in a year – spring, summer, autumn, and winter – and as we transition into the next season, there will be a period of adjustment. Based on this concept, it makes the fifth lunar month a particularly critical season, it is a season of adjustment.
During this period, many Bodhisattvas will descend to the human realm to extend help, besides resetting and regulating the Order of Things in our world and universe. With so many Bodhisattvas around us during this period, if you have the audacity to mess around and indulge in sexual misconduct, your unwholesome act will be conveniently recorded. This is very much like making a mistake right before the eyes of a department head, who happens to drop by your workplace for an inspection. For sure, he will keep an account of what you have done wrong.
