I
made up this story,
so I own the copyright. (Master laughs)
One
day, a large group of Supreme Master Ching Hai's disciples meditated together
to pray for world peace. However, the more they prayed, the more the world
was not at peace, so they were furious! They got together for a three or four-day
retreat to pray for world peace, but still it was futile. There were conflicts
and wars all over the world, and every country was having problems. Totally
frustrated, they complained to God, "God, You do not respond! For the
past few days, our fellow practitioners from around the world have been praying
here for world peace, but the world is still not at peace! Why has it not
been effective?"
God
shook Hiers head and said, "Well, I am sorry! But I have also been praying
for world peace for a very long time!" (Laughter and applause)
Whether
the world will have peace or not depends on us, not on God! Hes tells us to
be peace-loving but we don't listen, so what can Hes do? The poor old fellow!

Time Has Come! What
Is God's Religion?
God
Too Has No Solution We
Are Not Peace Loving
