- Master JiGong said,
- "To oneself, we must seek faults among
our faultlessness
- Not only can this improve our virtues,
it can keep us from harm
- To others, we must seek faultlessness
among their faults
- Not only can we cherish our kindness,
it can settle resentment too
- Do check on oneself at all times
- Instead of demanding others, demand
oneself in every aspect
- It doesn’t matter if we make mistakes
- But the important thing is we can
correct them
- In correcting mistake, we can realize
why and what we need to correct
- To realize something in depth, one
must demand oneself
- Hence, the saying:
- ‘To blame oneself with the same heart
we blame others
- And to forgive others with the same
heart we forgive oneself’
- It is always easy to know others, but
it is hard to know oneself
- It is easy to forgive the wrongs of
oneself
- But it is hard to spare the faults of
others
- People can see things that are a
hundred steps away
- But it is hard to see the back of
one’s own body
- The eyes can observe things as tiny as
the autumn-hair
- But it is hard to count one’s
eyelashes
- Hence, those who always see the faults
of oneself
- Are on par with TAO"
- Only with a Heavenly heart can one be on par with TAO
- It is seeing the faults of oneself and correcting them
- How many people can do this?
- Usually people like to point finger at others for faults
done
- But did not realize the other three fingers are pointing at
oneself
- When it comes to claiming good works done
- Usually one will try to stand in front and be known
- Taking credit for good work done by others is very common
- All these sayings are by Master JiGong and the work of the
translators
- I am just a copycat
- I hope my copying is meaningful
- To further spread the Truth to different people in different
way
- I may be blamed for copying and copying and just add a
little
- I now learn to forgive others as I forgive myself
- Because I do not know whether I have hurt any readers
- Especially those that are not as the same faith as mine
- I may be a bit carried away although I wanted to be careful
- May I beg your pardon and forgiveness
- If ever I hurt your feelings
- I am sorry
- Thank you.
