Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In English)

Anytime we think negatively about someone we lose some of our Self,
we lose some of the light,
we lose some of the heavenly happiness that normally belongs to us.

We have to thank God
every time that Hes gives us the opportunity
to learn the fastest way,
to understand the Truth
which erases all of our miseries;
because the only thing that sets us free is the Truth.

Cultivating ourselves is very, very important
and it is truly the only way.
If we want to cultivate the world, if we want to help the world,
we must truly cultivate and improve ourselves. There is no other way.

People think, "Oh! I love you," and then it will be forever.
No, no.
You have to nourish it by devotion, by daily renewal,
by appreciation of each other's value and loving kindness,
and help the other partner to develop that best quality within him or herself.
That's the true marriage.
That's the true partnership.

Whenever someone angers you
or you feel anger towards someone,
don't put all this anger on that person.
Just remember the Holy Names
and try to center yourself as much as you can.
If you forget, okay;
when you remember, try to be centered again
and forget that person.

As soon as you become centered within yourself, love will flow.
Then you will forget the anger.
You will think it is a small matter
and it's easy to love thy neighbor
or love thy enemy.
