Aphorisms


Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai(Originally In Chinese)

All is created by the heart. If our hearts do not change, the world will not change.

Don't wait for someone else to save the world with miraculous power; a change of heart will save the world.

Why do we have to practice spiritually? It is because our wisdom grows and our minds become open with spiritual practice, letting us see things accurately. When we perceive the Truth, we will no longer misunderstand, be deluded by imagination, or be biased with preconceptions.


Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese)

Being spiritual practitioners, we must aspire to seek great wisdom; we must be able to do, understand, and realize everything. However, there is a higher level or superior quality called "love". We will dry and shrivel up if we only have wisdom but no love.

When people scold us, imagine that it is Master scolding us, then we won't feel hurt. Instead, we will tolerate them and thank them for getting rid of our karma.

Our demeanor and virtues cannot be bought with money or manifested in magnificent clothes. We have light within that will emanate naturally to make people feel comfortable and respectful. This is our dignity, and our magnificent clothes, generated naturally. Wearing beautiful clothes does not necessarily win people's respect.

Time is running out! We must be really sincere in our spiritual practice! You can see that the climate is constantly changing, and people are coming and going; no one can exist forever.

The Supreme power of the Highest God and the Master are our own power. We were originally one with the supreme power, the Master and the Creator. Therefore, when we completely forsake the world, we come very close to the Way, the Creator, and we will have the power to save ourselves. That is why we say, "God is in the Heart."

Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese)

Spiritual Practitioners who practice well will find everything going smoothly and unhindered. Those who fail to practice well will feel restrained and uncomfortable, even though they have the same Master who transmitted to them the same Method and the same power.

The "Natural Magical Power" means our omnipotent inner Master will make all the arrangements for our needs. If Hes does not arrange it for us, it means that the place or plan is not good for us.

In spiritual practice, don't care too much about having progressed or not. Instead, we should care about our sincerity. Whether or not we are truly longing for liberation.

Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In English)

Until we know everything we'd better not accuse, blame, or criticize anything, because God makes everything, it's for some purpose. It's just that we don't know.

That means always concentrate, remember that. So, you see, the masters teach you nothing new, only to concentrate.



Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese)

Spiritual practice is not difficult, neither is the quest for Godhood; simply behave like a child!

Always practice introspection, then we will know why we have not progressed and our spiritual level is so low.
