Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In English)

What you should be detached from is the attachment to power and fame, and not be detached from power and fame themselves.

It's easier to get enlightenment than to explain enlightenment.

We should never fear when we do something good, noble, righteous and spiritual.

Do everything as a dedication. There is no menial work. There is no dirty job. There is nothing that is not worth your attention, because everything is composed of this universe. Every little particle of the universe belongs to the whole, and if we take care of a part it means that we're taking care of the whole.

If you do anything that is not yet perfect or not yet beautiful, you know that your love has not yet developed completely. You have not completely used the power of love which is inside you. That's the way to reflect, to know whether we've progressed or not.

Heaven is here and now. Anywhere you go, make it a Heaven. If you're happy, it's Heaven. If you're not happy, even if the situation around you is very merry, very boisterous, you will still feel miserable.

Why can't we shun money? Why can't we despise political positions? Because they're good instruments with which to work for God, to work for the betterment of the world at large.

It's the challenge of this world that we always keep the way of God, that we always keep the commandments of the conscience. That's how we rise above all differences and all praise and blame to become noble beings.

The light and the sound are the elements inside that cleanse our souls and our thinking. Our virtuous life will be more evident after we practice the light and sound.
