Aphorisms

By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In English)

Our lives should be joyful, active and meaningful. We can learn a lot of things with our time, learning just for the sake of joy, for the sake of learning.

Only the Light and Sound can help us in any kind of situation in this world.

In Heaven, we have only one name — that's the name of love and wisdom.

After we practice the Quan Yin Method, we are plugged into our consciousness power again; we change our brain cells, even all the cells in the body. We change everything day by day, refining and refining it until it becomes pure knowledge, until it becomes pure love, wisdom. Nothing else.

The Light and the Sound purify also our mind and body cells, et cetera. Therefore, the more we practice, the younger and the more comfortable we feel. Most illnesses disappear. And wisdom of course emerges.

In Heaven above, they heal with Light instead of with medicine. I think, perhaps, we will also heal illness with a similar kind of Light in the future. There are also some illnesses which can be affected by sound, say like music. This method we are practicing includes the Light and the Sound. Much suffering and pressure decrease naturally, and eventually disappear.

We should be true, beautiful and virtuous in spirit, speech and in actions; that is a perfect human being.

Remember you are the Light. Never forget and sink into the physical existence of this body.

Rise above the waves, so that you may go into the tranquil ocean which is in the middle. There you'll meet no more waves, no obstacles, nothing.

The more we are elevated, the more we see that cleanliness is necessary. It is the way of life. It's not that someone is cleaner than the other, or someone loves more cleanliness. It is the inner, the inner expression of beauty, virtue and Truth - the saintly way of life.

Revere your body to use it for a noble and good purpose. Take care of it, as long as it should last, for your purpose of realizing yourself and helping our brothers and sisters to go back to where they belong, so that they have eternal happiness and don't have to suffer in the dark here.
