| How to Differentiate Fake Friends, Temptation, Fake Love, and Overly-doting Tendencies
In Grandmaster JinBodhi’s Family Precepts (Part 17), he shared with everyone the ways to identify fake friends, temptations, fake loves, and overly-doting tendencies in relationships, so that we learn to understand people, discern issues by ‘cutting through the mist’, and understand the real truths, achieving a resolved and unflappable (by the ‘eight worldly winds’) character.
The interesting excerpts in this episode are:
1. With love in your heart, the world is at peace.
2. Overly-doting is akin to cruelty.
3. Excessive praises can easily soften other’s willpower.
4. Learn to think of the rationale in all issues.
5. Unexpected benefits may bring unexpected disasters.
6. Do not greed over small benefits, nor take advantage of big gains, so as not to stir trouble to oneself.
