We have to be flexible. We practice spiritually; we must have wisdom, not only morality. Morality without wisdom, we may apply wrongly and hurt many other people, or if not, hurt ourselves. Like Qu Yuan, who was loyal to the king and advised the king, but the king didn’t listen. He was a stupid king; how could he listen to the right advice? When the stupid king didn’t listen to him, [Qu Yuan] jumped into the river and died, contaminating the fish down there. […]
