1. Internet media is a double-edged sword

Master Riga said: "In recent years, with the popularity of the Internet, many masters use the Internet to spread and promote Buddhism, and some More and more people who have not entered Buddhism are exposed to Buddhism through the Internet, which makes them embark on the path of learning Buddhism. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. While the Internet promotes Buddhism, it also has many negative effects. Dharma websites play a role in promoting the Dharma and benefiting living beings, and are of great merit; conversely, slandering the Three Jewels on the Internet and causing internal divisions are also a great sin. One person's wrong opinions can be seen by many people at the same time, so it is very harmful. It has the consequences of 'one blind person leads all blind people into a pit of fire', so this cannot but arouse everyone's vigilance."

The master also said: "According to the law of cause and effect, if you see more people. , the wider the influence, the greater the fault of the original author. In short, Buddhists must be cautious about all kinds of comments on the Internet.

2. Those who slander the Dharma are also people who know the Dharma!

Master Riga added: "Those who really slander Buddhism and cause division within Buddhism cannot be people who know nothing about Buddhism, nor are they just heretics, but those who understand the theory of Buddhism. They may want to deliberately destroy Buddhism, or want to establish their own sects, or for their own ulterior purposes, they may make irresponsible remarks, or even spread evil ways, hoping to lead sentient beings astray. This is how many evil cults and heretics came into being. "These people have done a lot of bad deeds. If they don't repent and continue to do so, they will fall into hell in the next life!"

The words of the master are indeed very reasonable: Pure Buddhism is like a wonderful medicine that can cure the chronic diseases of all living beings; heresy is like poison mixed with honey, which is very comfortable to swallow, but the consequences are disastrous; and heretics who adhere to Buddhism are like fake medicine, which has no effect after taking it. Will cause death! "Good medicine tastes bitter, but loyal advice offends the ears." This is an unbreakable truth from ancient times to the present.

3. Discussions on forums are endless and meaningless

Master Riga went on to say: "There are many Buddhist websites and forums on the Internet now, but there are many categories, and the good and bad vary. Some websites are really good and actually promote the Dharma, while some websites are not as good as the Dharma and promote things that are contrary to the Dharma. There are also many forums that seem lively and lively, but in fact everyone is there. Join in the fun, one post comes up, and the following posts form a long series, you talk about yours, I talk about mine... What's the point of this? Sanbao disciples should not be enthusiastic about participating in endless chatter on the forum. Arguing on the Internet not only wastes practice time, but also easily violates the precepts and creates karma unknowingly."

4. Internet access cannot help people liberate themselves.

What Master Riga finally said. Summary: "Buddhist disciples are addicted to the Internet all day long, which not only consumes time, affects the body, and wastes energy, but also delays practice. It is really not worth the gain. To become a Buddha requires quiet motivation, correct guidance from a guru, and diligent practice. This can only be achieved through spiritual practice, and surfing the Internet cannot liberate oneself."

The master also talked about the negative impact of online games on Buddhists: "There are many online games nowadays, and the scenes of fighting and killing in them make people feel uncomfortable. The seeds of killing are sown in the Alaya Consciousness, which is very scary. Therefore, disciples of the Three Treasures must not play online games, especially those computer games with harmful content such as war, fighting, and gambling!"
