Pearls Of Wisdom

Pearls Of Wisdom

～Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai, New York, USA Feb. 3, 1990

　 We have to consider other people. That's the purpose of living. The more we consider people, the more we expand ourselves; expand until we become one with everything, and we become Buddha. The more you consider yourselves, the more narrow you become.

　The more you eat animals, the more life force has been stamped out, and then you become smaller and smaller until you become like the worms, the small insects, and bacteria; and you become nothing.

　The more you love life, the more you give life, the more you expand and become great. The Buddha, He's everywhere because He loved all life, identified with all life. So He became Ju-Lai. Ju-Lai means He doesn't come, He doesn't go anywhere but He's everywhere. He doesn't go anywhere because He has expanded Himself. He doesn't kill life but gives and sustains life. Therefore, He has life. You know, karma, cause and condition.

～Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hsihu, Formosa July 12, 1995

　The best thing is don't be afraid of anything, because we are representative of The Truth, and every false thing must leave sooner or later. That's all you must believe.

　In the beginning of the practice, if you are not enough purified and noble, then most of the time you would encounter ugly people, ugly scenery or frightening events. It's all right! It's just a test for us to see whether we are strong enough, courageous all enough to continue spiritual practice. Don't be afraid.

　Sometimes God tests us too, by sending ugly images. See what you'll do. See if you remember God, or you are frightened of the devil more than having faith in God.

　Your faith must be stronger than your fear, that is the lesson, because God is always stronger than the negative power. So if you are with God, you don't fear.
