Sentient Beings Heed Deception Over Counsel

Brainwashing employs silver-tongued means to cater to sentient beings' desires, making them easily receptive. Through subtle influence, they become gradually permeated. In contrast, positive education often opposes desires, making it difficult for sentient beings to accept and be influenced. Demons make it easy for sentient beings to become bewitched, while Buddhas find it exceedingly challenging to guide sentient beings toward Buddhahood. Hence, sentient beings remain prone to deception over advice.
