Buddhism and Buddhist Policeman


Buddhism is so wonderful, it is a lesson for all of us to remind ourselves as a self restraint and self practice... and yet it should never be used as a corrective comment to point out the mistake of others, unless the person is your student or under your linage of care.

As I have always said, whenever you see others' practice different from yours, observe and keep quiet. Do not add a commentary, and do not "advise" OR CRITICIZE, because there are 84000 ways and no one should be A Buddhist Policeman, patrolling at "wrong practice".

People may be insulted and may challenge back your practice and your teachers' practice.

My teaching comes from my various teachers, and tested out by them and subsequently myself personally, before I even dare to teach my students. Of course, I can teach, but how much the student can learn depend of his own karma. Many a times, a teacher can repeat the teaching a hundred times, and the students still make the same mistake. Is it because he is a bad teacher or is it the students own karma?
