Candle Light

Someone told me whether I believe in black magic. I said I do believe in the possibilities of having. Black magic is often heard being used for bewitching and causing harm to the intended individual.

My reply for the friend is to have a mind like a well lit candle. Guard the lit candle well and make sure the windows are closed to prevent the strong from coming in.

In this instance, the candle is the clear mind. The window is the sense door. I believe we should follow and carry out the 5 precepts and the noble 8 fold path laid down by Buddha closely to prevent unwholesome thoughts to get into our mind just like how we guard the candlelight.
