Good Habits – Bad Habits
Good habits do not occur naturally like the breeze or sunlight or weed growing in an empty paddy field. Good habits must be carefully cultivated in the same way that rice, vegetables and fruit trees must be carefully cultivated. Unlike good habits, bad habits occur naturally. They do not need to be cultivated. Good habits are formed by the way one conscientiously performs all the relevant activities in the five rooms of life.
Now, let’s take a look at how our good and bad habits are formed.
