Other than our teacher, Vajra friends have no responsibilities to observe other’s good or bad points, which has nothing to do with us. When giving rise to a thought of other’s flaws, one needs to remind oneself: “Thinking he has flaws is due to my mind being impure. If my mind were pure, then I wouldn’t find faults in others; it must be my own mistake and illusion. In the vision of a realised being, all phenomena is the mandala of the buddhas, and pure.”
