~ Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai
(Originally In English)

It's true that the Master will bless us with whatever we desire; but we should not be satisfied with that and feel proud of that achievement, because this is just nothing.

Meditation is just to fill our tank with some more cleverness and intelligence, so that we can know what to do.

Say sorry only once, and get better all the time. That's the best way to apologize.

We should always strive to be righteous and right. Then no matter what we do, we will not fear anything.

We have to live our lives fully and naturally and just be ourselves. There's no need to let other people influence us so much. As far as we can, don't let other people bother us with their own feelings, with their own ignorance, with their own mood or with anything.

You have to understand that in order to have fun, you have to keep the rules and maintain discipline.



~ Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese)

We should not fear anything in this world; we need only fear that our minds are not stable and our wisdom is not developed enough, and therefore we do not understand the true meaning behind those things.

It is not good enough just to help others, but we have to help them the way they need it, not the way we want to do it. We are never considerate enough in this respect.

Spiritual practice is an action that requires us to be prepared to overcome difficulties, and never succumb under adverse circumstances.

We ought to be responsible for ourselves. Don't think that we can do whatever we want just because Master or other people do not see us. We have to train ourselves in this spirit of honesty until we act in the same way whether we are observed by others or not.
