| English | An unsuitable friend is one who is fond of distractions, totally immersed in ordinary worldly activities, and who does not care in the least about achieving liberation-a friend who has no interest or faith in the Three Jewels. The more time you spend with such a person, the more the three poisons will permeate your mind. Even if you do not initially agree with their ideas and actions, if you spend a lot of time with unsuitable friends you will eventually be influenced by their bad habits. Your resolve to act positively will decline, and you will waste your life. Such people will prevent you spending any time studying, reflecting, and meditating- which are the roots of liberation. And they will make you lose whatever qualities you may have developed, especially compassion and love-which are the very essence of the teachings of the Great Vehicle. An unsuitable friend is like a bad captain who steers his ship on to the rocks. Such people are your worst enemy. You owe it to yourself to stay avtay from them. |
