(An Excerpt)
ACCEPT MASTER’S CRITICISMS WITH GRATITUDE
Master Jun Hong Lu: As your master, I am sharing the Dharma teachings with you every day, just like a father, constantly pointing out your flaws. Therefore, you must be appreciative of my efforts and understand that I am truly helping you for your own good.
Can you imagine what will become of you if you don’t correct your flaws? Even the most minute flaw can be fatal. In other words, we should not tolerate any character flaw, however small, as it could snowball into a massive flaw.
Whenever I pick on any of your mistakes, you must accept it. Even though the mistake may seem insignificant to you, it may culminate into a big problem over an extended period of time, which can have a detrimental impact.
Moreover, when I am criticising you, I am teaching you how to endure humiliation. No one in this society is willing to point out the shortcomings of others because we are well aware that no one is receptive to criticisms.
