The Scripture of the Founding Master
Chapter Nine: Sending on Spirits in Transition
19
The Founding Master said, “Everyday, people must frequently develop and cultivate the practice of nonattachment. For those with strong attachments to wealth, sex, fame, and profit, to spouse, children, and relatives, or to clothes, food, and shelter, their worries and suffering will be much greater than that of average people when those things vanish before their eyes. This would be a real hell on earth. Even when they die, they will again be dragged around by their attachments, unable to free themselves, and will end up falling into the sea of transgressive karma. How could you not be cautious about this?”
