MIND YOUR SPEECH

Master Jun Hong Lu: When one attains a higher state of mind, he will guard his speech from committing negative karma.  Keep in mind that eliminating negative karma of speech will help you advance in your cultivation.  If you have observed, you will notice that Buddhist practitioners will not comment on matters which they are uncertain because “illness enters by the mouth, trouble comes out by the mouth”.  And if you are not mindful of your speech, others will be doubtful of your trustworthiness.  As Buddhist practitioners, we have to practise the Right Speech by being careful of what we say and abstain from saying things that are unwholesome or unreliable. This is one of the precepts that Buddhists should observe.
