Aphorisms

By Supreme Master Ching Hai


   
Don't get lost in imaginary happiness. 
We should go forward every day 
on the way to the Truth. (Originally in Chinese)



We should balance ourselves in doing everything. 
Don't be extreme! (Originally in Chinese)  



If we see that everything is God's grace, everything becomes 
the source of joy instead of suffering. (Originally in English)   



We will feel fulfilled in our giving and 
our loving instead of expecting any love from other people.
(Originally in English)

As practitioners, sometimes we are tested and we will
be tested very severely, mentally, internally, so that
we become more and more humble, more and more egoless, so 
that we can endure hardships better, so that the God power
can integrate within us better without any interference,
without any obstructions.



There's only one way to enlightenment, that's the correct 
way. There's only one way to live our lives, that's the 
virtuous way. There's only one way to be yourself, that's
the noble way. 



The best, the purest motive, will attract all the goodness
in the universe, all the purest things, and more than we
can ask for.     
The cause of all suffering arises not through an external 
condition but truly from our own attitude.

For spiritual practitioners, the best way to make progress is
to analyze ourselves daily. Introspect and warn ourselves each 
day; check whether we have any faults, or have done anything 
illogical. If we have done something wrong, make sure we don't
do it again. Find out why it is wrong to handle things this way. 
Always be cautious and on the alert!      

 
If we sincerely want to rectify ourselves, we are getting nearer to the Truth.
