Miraculous
Powers Performed
Without the Ego
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai
Tainan, Formosa August 31, 1989 (Originally in Chinese)
Our
own inner Master has great wisdom. Hes knows what we should use and
what we should do to avoid causing harm to ourselves, intervening
in other people's affairs, and messing with the law of this world.
This is different than the very limited miraculous power registered
in our minds. If we know certain miraculous powers, then that is all
we have. If we derive miraculous powers by practicing the Quan Yin
Method, then these are inconceivable and we can use different powers
under different circumstances.
Without this
great wisdom, we become easily confused in spiritual practice. Without
a good teacher, we are easily misled. As a result, we learn only a
certain part and follow that part alone instead of the whole and perfect
one. Many religions emphasize the learning of this and that, and lots
of techniques and magic; they do not stress the discovery of our Original
Nature.

Why do we practice
the Quan Yin Method? It is because we want to understand everything
in the universe. Beyond the physical light of this sun, there is a
greater, brighter, and more beautiful Light. Beyond our worldly languages,
there is a greater and more beautiful Language. When we have learned
this Language, this Sound, we will understand all languages, including
human languages, as well as those spoken by all sentient beings.

Our
power is strongest during group meditation. A couple of people meditating
together can also generate a lot of power, but of course, the power
is stronger when there are more people. It is because of these serious
spiritual practitioners that the world is beginning to have peace.
Sometimes, disasters suddenly fade away when they are supposed to
befall a country. And sometimes, a country is suddenly saved when
it is supposed to sink or be destroyed. If we have the heavenly eye,
we can see this; but if we don't, we can't.
We should pursue
spiritual practice for ourselves and our compatriots as well as for
world and universal peace. When more people practice spiritually,
the world will be more peaceful. There will be no need to talk about
peace, and the world will have peace.

It
is not good for us to offer too much help to people when we meditate
very little, because we are not balanced. We will lose our patience
and love. If we have no love, everything we do is useless. No matter
what we do, it must be done with love. Only love can touch God, the
Buddha, and the people's hearts. Only then can we edify people through
our work and convey God's love to them. Then, through our loving contribution,
the people of the world will elevate their level step by step.
