You Must Not Lie to Your Vajra Master: Evil View #31

“Majesty.” painting by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

You will not become accomplished if you lie to your master. Even if your master does not know you have lied, you will not fool your yidam or the dharma protectors and they will not help you become accomplished. You absolutely must not lie to your master.

Evil View No. 31:  Acknowledging that one who intentionally lies to one’s root master can experience beneficial effects from one’s practice.  There are those who intentionally speak falsely to their root master. Or when their master asks them a question, they conceal half of the facts, thinking all the while that doing so is no big deal or even that it is natural and right. They therefore act as if nothing wrong happened. This is an evil view. Actually, as long as you speak falsely to your master, you will not experience beneficial effects from your practice. No benefits can be established no matter what Buddha-dharma you practice because your yidam and the dharma-protecting deities will not bless you.
