You
may notice that the excitement and zeal present when you first began
your spiritual practice has subsided over time, and has been replaced
by your rational and mature introspection as you stride into another
stage of your spiritual cultivation. You will find that Master's teachings
are not only to be propagated by holding exhibitions and distributing
sample books. In daily life, your every act or speech can deliver the
message of love and Truth to people. Especially when we are truly sincere
in giving our love. God or the Buddha will naturally give us more inspirations
and new ideas.
In fact, Master has arranged many lessons for us to learn everyday.
Engaged in different kinds of work, our brothers and sister surely
have had these experiences: When we have decided to sweep aside our
preconceived notions and habitual behaviors, and use love, peace and
wisdom to handle problems, we will feel very happy for ourselves,
knowing that we have passed another trial. When we are determined to
bring only happiness, hope and bright thoughts to the people close
to us, our situation will immediately become smooth and positive.
Our brothers and sisters all over the world are longing to learn
about these valuable lessons. Thanks to Master, She has given us
the Supreme Master Ching Hai News _ a paradise for our souls that requires the
irrigation, cultivation and input from all of us.
You
are so busy everyday, and constantly under the heavy pressure of life.
So, what kind of magazine would you like to comfort your soul that is
neglected by reality? Working from nine to five, the same routine everyday,
what type of special information would you like to read to give you fresh
inspiration? And, what kind of nutriment of love would you like to have
when you are alone at midnight after a day of over exertion?
Don't wait any longer! Roll up your sleeves and pick up your pen to
plow this field of our souls! When the spiritual flowers that you
have planted eventually blossom, you will rejoice that the seeds of
your effort have not been sown in vain!
