111. PURSUING PERFECTIONS UNTIL YOU PREVAIL
Addressing a group of Upasaka (male temple attendants) getting ready to be ordained:
When you have decided to enter the temple in order to pursue Perfections to the fullest, you must never waver from this goal. I wish all of you will prevail. Whether you will or not, depends on you.
What you need to take precautions from is the opposite sex. This is very important. Do not give way to sympathy. Let wisdom and equanimity be your guide. Giving way to sympathy can lead to your defeat.
I have seen many examples of this, so I caution you to watch out for your inclinations. Don’t allow a situation that may lead to intimacy. Once intimacy happens it is difficult to undo. The best thing to do is to do is not allow any own chance for intimacy. If you close the bridge, then the person cannot encroach.
This is the biggest weakness that plagues virtue seekers. It is an obstacle that inhibits the path to Perfections. For such little gain, one can lose so much. This is one of the major reasons that cause virtue seekers to get sidetracked from their path to Perfections. It is better to prevent it now rather than having to cure it later.
Not getting involved with love affairs is the best policy. This will allow you to succeed in your pursuit of Perfections smoothly. You will possess great virtue and purity, having clear-seeing ability for knowledge, and be able to overcome everything.
