By Supreme Master Ching Hai

☆ As practitioners, sometimes we are tested and we will be tested very severely, mentally, internally, so that we become more and more humble, more and more egoless, so that we can endure hardships better, so that the God power can integrate within us better without any interference, without any obstructions.

 

(Originally in English) ☆There's only one way to enlightenment, that's the correct way. There's only one way to live our lives, that's the virtuous way. There's only one way to be yourself, that's the noble way. ☆The best, the purest motive, will attract all the goodness in the universe, all the purest things, and more than we can ask for. The cause of all suffering arises not through an external condition but truly from our own attitude. ☆If we see that everything is God's grace, everything becomes the source of joy instead of suffering. ☆We will feel fulfilled in our giving and our loving instead of expecting any love from other people. (Originally in Chinese) ☆For spiritual practitioners, the best way to make progress is to analyze ourselves daily. Introspect and warn ourselves each day; check whether we have any faults, or have done anything illogical. If we have done something wrong, make sure we don't do it again. Find out why it is wrong to handle things this way. Always be cautious and on the alert! ☆If we sincerely want to rectify ourselves, we are getting nearer to the Truth. ☆Don't get lost in imaginary happiness. We should go forward every day on the way to the Truth. ☆We should balance ourselves in doing everything. Don't be extreme!
