It is a pity that most videos of Master Chin Kung does not have English subtitle ... this is a rare interview with English subtitle
Quotes from Master Chin Kung and his teacher Master �炳� (forgive my poor translation)
“ä¸�妄è¯ã€�ä¸�两舌ã€�ä¸�ç»®è¯ã€�ä¸�æ�¶å�£”，è¦�å�šåˆ°æ‰�å�«å¦ä½›ã€‚å�šä¸�到，天天在念ã€�天天在讲，这就是消é�£ä½›æ³•ã€�玩弄佛法，有罪过
If one is able to practise the five precepts in his daily life, this is what I call "belief". Many people talk about/discuss dharma to entertain themselves (playing with Dharma). This is bad karma.

Why we do not have peace today? �炳��居士 said this is due to we have too many people who deliberately commit good deeds in expectation of merits.

i'd translate it as going according to conditions/affinities/situation, instead of against the flow of conditions/affinities/situation.
conditions/affinities/situation 缘 may not be seen as fate/destiny though.

The real good deeds go with the flow of natural conditions/situation without artificially creating/seeking the conditions/situation. Real good deeds come from a pure and compassionate mind without discrimination.

The world's conflicts is caused by conflict between one's buddha nature and bad habits like greed, anger, ignorance.
And IMO, the primary condition of cancer is è‡ªæ€§å’Œä¹ æ€§ä¹‹é—´çš„å†²çª� with other conditions from environment, food. In traditional chinese medicine, many diseases are conditioned by overjoy (harmeful to consciousness), anger (harmful to the TCM liver system), sadness (harmful to the TCM's lung system), fear (harmeful to the TCM's kidney system), attachment to thoughts (harmful to the TCM spleen system).
Cause of disease according to TCM:
1. External factor - environment/food (佛法ä¸çš„ä¾�报）
2. Internal factor - aging, emotion, desire
3. Not external nor internal factors - e.g. injured by knives
