Group Meditation

 Benefits All Mankind

Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai, Singapore

  If we want to walk all the way to the spiritual mansion of the Most High, if you have a companion supporting in spirit, it is very, very incredible, the energy that each of us radiates. It is incredible when it's put together. For example water, if it's only one cup, it is not much. If it fills the cup, it's all right for the cup. But when many cups are put together, many hundreds or thousands of cups are put together, it becomes a swimming pool. Then more, it'll become a lake, and then it'll become a river, and become an ocean.

That's why group meditation is extremely, extremely important to you. You probably have learned that by your own experience. You feel clean, energized when you go out. Is that no so? (A: Yes.) It is because you share energy. You say, "Well, one cup is okay. Two cups, all right." But one cup you can not clean with. If you put together it becomes a lake; all of you can swim in it and it will still be there. You know what I mean? Maybe just put one cup on your body, not only your body is not cleansed but the water is gone. So, it is a privilege for us to go to group meditation. It's really, really a great benefit to mankind as well, because if the lake is there, not only you are benefited but many other people in the society who didn't put the water in the lake can also get benefit.
