We use both physical and spiritual strength to beautify our life, and to beautify wherever we go. Whether it's hell, whether it's Earth, whether it's Heaven, we make all into Heaven. That's our job. That's the way we have to be. I think that's the way of a saint.

The only thing we can do is to be good examples so that other human beings can follow our foot steps and have benefit for themselves. Then we become one bigger family, and bring Heaven to Earth. That's the only thing, the best thing we could do in this life or any other life.

Even though we follow a so-called spiritual practicing path, we must check ourselves all the time, we must be sure that we don't follow materialistic spiritualism. Because we follow a path in order to gain more power, then we can control others or we can take things from the universe, from all the people without knowing any satisfaction, this is the same path with the magical power and all kinds of materialistic practice. Even though you follow a righteous path, you must always check yourself, make sure that we don't follow it for some personal, material gain and loss, fame and name, and all these kinds of things.
