WHY PLAYING CARD GAMES AND MAHJONG ARE INADVISABLE
Caller: In one of the past radio programs, Master mentioned that playing cards is an activity of the Underworld. Can Master elaborate about the inappropriateness of playing cards? After all, it is such a popular game in China and many people are fond of playing cards.
Master Jun Hong Lu: Card playing is never good because you are likely to offend the petty-minded people. Spirits in the Underworld, having nothing to do, spend their time on card games. Card games are inherently of Yin (negative) attributes because the cards are not supposed to be revealed to others. Besides, they are also something that can diminish your life. Card players are bound to age very quickly because their time is squandered on card games day in, day out and hence, a year will just zip by.
Caller: So, the same applies to both card and Mahjong games?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes.
