Full of intention, those who are attached to fame practice an evil way. Once fame in this world is achieved, they are bound to say good but mean evil, thereby misleading the public and undermining the Fa.
Those who are attached to money seek wealth and fake their cultivation. Undermining the practice and the Fa, they waste their lifetimes instead of cultivating Buddhahood.
Those who are attached to lust are no different from wicked people. While reciting the scriptures, they even cast furtive glances; they are quite far from the Tao and are wicked, everyday people.
Those who are attached to affection for family will definitely be burned, entangled, and tormented by it. Grabbed by the threads of affection and plagued by them throughout their lives, they will find it too late to regret at the end of their lives.
