Khenpo Dazhen: Don’t talk about other people’s faults, the consequences are very serious from the perspective of cause and effect.

Don’t talk about other people’s faults or think about other people’s faults when it is not necessary.First, say that others are physically lacking.Everyone has different habits. Some people especially like to talk about other people’s flaws, such as blind people, deaf people, etc.If you say it with malicious intention, it means you are abused by others and committing verbal karma.If you are in a state of negligence, talking about other people’s defects or mistakes will also cause great sins.

Therefore, a Buddhist, especially a Mahayana practitioner, cannot be said to be physical and moral defects in others without need, because this will affect other people's mentality and make others bother and angry.In addition, talking about these defects is of no use to oneself, but some people like to talk about the defects of others because of their habits that have never been established.

What we believe in is Mahayana Buddhism, and we should require ourselves according to the standards of Mahayana doctrine and should not violate it.There are two types of Mahayana Buddhism: Prajna and Vajra.The Prajna Vehicle is the Bodhisattva Vehicle. From this perspective, all sentient beings have been our parents and have kindness to us. We must not repay grudges or harm them.

From the perspective of Vajrayana, all sentient beings are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. If you say that others’ faults are disrespectful to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, your own beliefs will also be affected.

First of all, you must figure out what you believe in, and then you will feel respectful to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.The reason why we can see the other person’s flaws means that our hearts are not pure enough.From the perspective of Vajrayana, everything must be pure.From the perspective of self-nature, they are all pure.

Why should we observe purity? We must believe in this truth. Although you have not reached the state of purity of everything and have not had such enlightenment, we must believe in this truth.If you do not believe in this principle and still have doubts about it, it means that you are not qualified to learn tantra and are not a Dharma instrument of Vajrayana.

Nowadays, some people do not understand these principles and think that chanting Buddha's name means learning exoteric school, and chanting mantras means learning Tantra.It is impossible to judge and measure by this standard.

The difference between the exoteric school and the esoteric school is that the exoteric school does not emphasize the view of purity, and the main choice is the body rather than the appearance.In essence, there is no difference between exoteric and esoteric.What the exoteric school of thought chooses is that the essence of all dharmas is far away from the great emptiness of the eight-sided slander. Tantra cannot have a higher realm than this, nor can it choose a higher truth than this.However, there are differences in the present part of the two. The exoteric school does not focus on emphasizing the present part. When preaching the essence of all dharmas, although it also talks about the present part, this emptiness is not separated from the present part.However, there is no emphasis on emphasizing the current points, nor is there any choice of such light.This is the difference between exoteric and esoteric.Tantra focuses on preaching that when manifestation occurs, impure dharma is a confused phenomenon, which can be said to not exist, but pure manifestation exists, which is the difference.

There is a clear explanation in the Tantric Continentals that if you have not believed in this principle and have not reached such a state, you cannot refuse to believe in such a truth.If you do not believe it, you will not be able to enter the Vajrayana and become a magic weapon of Vajrayana.Therefore, from our perspective, others are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and we should not talk about other people’s faults.Using this understanding and talking about other people's faults is disrespect to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and there is a problem with one's own view. This will prevent one from entering the Tantric Vehicle and cannot correspond to the profound Dharma principles preached by Tantric Buddhism.

This kind of teaching is also found in Mahayana Buddhism.For example, in the "Entering the Practice", all sentient beings are the help of our achievements, and our achievements depend on sentient beings. If there are no sentient beings, how can we achieve success? Our practice will not be separated from sentient beings, so we should treat sentient beings well.Especially we are all Mahayana practitioners and those who have developed bodhicitta. If we harm sentient beings and say that the faults of sentient beings are also contrary to the bodhicitta.

What is breaking the bodhicitta? It means breaking the oath you have made. Although talking about other people’s faults, in fact, what is defiled is your own continuity and what is delayed is your own achievements.

A wise man will not make such a mistake. In the future, we should try our best to prohibit this behavior and not talk about other people's faults.From the perspective of cause and effect, the consequences are very serious.

Everyone has read the "Hundred Kung Fu Sutra" and there are many related cases.There was a nun who once said that another nun was like a dog and later reincarnated as a dog in five hundred lives.I just said casually that what seems to be a trivial behavior has such serious consequences.
