Stories of Sheng Zhen Men
How can I care for attention and judgment around short videos and entertainment?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
When you see an unusual video or online post, pause before copying it merely because someone says it is cool. I do not recommend casually exploring ruins or playing spirit-board and automatic-writing games. In my faith, inviting is easier than sending away. Finishing a video does not mean everything afterward is finished.
Online reactions do not necessarily mean what they seem. In a story about an elder’s handmade food, a granddaughter assumed comments calling it cool and wanting to eat it showed approval. She published order information, but complaints followed and the elder decided to stop. Help intended well brought an unexpected outcome. Not every sharing goes wrong, but enthusiastic comments do not mean everyone agrees. Consider what may follow.
