(An Excerpt)
GIVING EXPLANATIONS FOR OUR OWN MISTAKES IS ALSO A FORM OF IGNORANCE
Master Jun Hong Lu: If a person does something wrong, and is always trying to absolve himself from his mistakes, this is ignorance. Many people are simply foolish. They like to give all sorts of explanations and they do so incessantly.
In fact, giving explanations is just like taking an object that is already foul-smelling and prying it open further, taking a whiff with your nose, and finally telling others that the object does not smell foul at all.
Since it is a fact that you have already done something wrong, why do you still need to explain yourself? When you have done something wrong, you should overcome the karmic obstacles and avoid the hindrances as soon as possible, and that is true repentance.
