問：疾病是業障造成的嗎？－從愛心出發

答：也可能是因為心態的問題。

問：您是指否定的心態嗎？

答：是，兩者都是業障，因為如果沒有不好的業障，你就不會產生否定的態度。不過，如果你發現或了解自己有否定的心態，就可以改變它，進而幫助自己。但是你的態度必須非常堅決，有時我們的內心不夠堅定，或是心智不夠堅強，我們想變得肯定，卻無能為力。所以，盡力保持肯定的心態，最好的方法就是默念佛號，不要去想什麼心態，什麼都不用想！只要默念佛號及打坐，光和音自然會帶給你很大的幫助。

Spiritual Focus Is the Best Agent for Attitude Change

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Malaga, Spain,
October 1, 2006, (Originally in English)

Q: Can illness be karma?

M: It can be attitude.

Q: Negative attitude?

M: Yes, both are karma. Because if you don’t have bad karma, you wouldn’t have the negative attitude. But if you discover or if you know about the negative attitude, you can change the attitude and you can help yourself. But you have to be very strong in attitude. Sometimes the heart is not strong enough, and sometimes the mind is not strong enough. They want to be positive but are very weak. So try your best to be positive. Reciting the Holy Names is the best. Don’t bother thinking about attitude, nothing! Just recite the Holy Names and meditate. The Light and the Sound help a lot.
