All formal person and Dharma will definitely lead and inspire sentient beings to take refuge with the Triple Jewel, to build up every cause and condition, to achieve them and to get rid of all afflictions and obstructions. This is the key point of all Dharma! It’s an evil view to desire consequence without cause. It’s the action of an devil to use Buddhadharma for afflictions. You can comprehend all Dharma if you can remember these key points.
