I made up this story, so I own the copyright. (Master laughs)

One day, a large group of Supreme Master Ching Hai's disciples meditated together to pray for world peace. However, the more they prayed, the more the world was not at peace, so they were furious! They got together for a three or four-day retreat to pray for world peace, but still it was futile. There were conflicts and wars all over the world, and every country was having problems. Totally frustrated, they complained to God, "God, You do not respond! For the past few days, our fellow practitioners from around the world have been praying here for world peace, but the world is still not at peace! Why has it not been effective?"

God shook Hiers head and said, "Well, I am sorry! But I have also been praying for world peace for a very long time!" (Laughter and applause)

Whether the world will have peace or not depends on us, not on God! Hes tells us to be peace-loving but we don't listen, so what can Hes do? The poor old fellow!
