Love Is Our Origin

By Little Initiate Wei, Indonesia

Dear Master,

How are You? Thank You for Your love and care. I know that without You, we wouldn't even be here today.

Ever since initiation, we all have experienced great changes. Before we used to argue and fight, but after initiation, we don't do that anymore. We seldom keep unhappy thoughts, now that our wisdom has been opened. As well, our learning ability has been developed much more. We can absorb and accept quickly whatever our teachers tell us.

At first our relatives were against our vegetarian diet. They thought that there was not enough nutrition, especially for growing children. But, after some time, when they met us again, they saw that we had all grown taller and bigger and looked very healthy. They were interested to know what we had been eating. Thus, they are less against a vegetarian diet and some of our relatives have even decided to try it.

Master, You are like our mother, taking care of everything for us. Even though we are not together, our hearts are connected. You always teach us everything from inside. Even the tiny things, You make them opportunities for us to learn. If we happen to do something wrong, You let us know and help us to correct our mistakes, either through inner teachings or through other people.

Master, we truly believe that You are a living Buddha. We know that if we follow You, we will live eternally. You are like a lamp of infinite light, shining upon us, guiding us on the bright path home.

Master, we want to follow You forever. Please believe that we will meditate diligently and will never leave You. We know that You and only You are ever lasting. You are our best friend. Thank You again for Your love.

Love is our origin.
Love is the basis of our existence.
Love is without conditions.
Love is everything.
If someone asks why we have love,
I would say: because we have our Supreme Master Ching Hai!
