(Clearwisdom.net) Master has reminded us to watch out for breeding demons in one’s own mind. As for fellow practitioners who have shown such tendencies, they need to correct this wrong state of mind and rectify themselves according to the Fa.

When it is the case that some fellow practitioners have shown signs of breeding demons in their own minds, then the fellow practitioners around them should search within and see if there is something they have not done well. When we see that a fellow practitioner has cultivated well and has a high level of understanding, and that he has developed some supernormal abilities and is in the state of gradual enlightenment, we need to check to see if we have expressed undue praise and admiration for him, or if we have complimented him excessively. Such a human mentality may have unintentionally encouraged that practitioner to gradually develop an unnecessary attachment to exhilaration and self-satisfaction, which, if it goes a bit further, may breed demons in his mind.

Therefore, each of us should be careful not to make unnecessary compliments about fellow practitioners in our conversations with one another. We need to cultivate our speech in this respect, to avoid causing interference and losses to fellow practitioners.
