Aphorisms
Spoken
By Supreme Master Ching Hai(Originally In Chinese)
All
is created by the heart. If our hearts do not change, the world will not change.
Don't wait for someone else to save the world with miraculous power; a
change of heart will save the world.
Why do we have to practice spiritually? It is because our wisdom grows and
our minds become open with spiritual practice, letting us see things accurately.
When we perceive the Truth, we will no longer misunderstand, be deluded by
imagination, or be biased with preconceptions.
Spoken By
Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese) Being
spiritual practitioners, we must aspire to seek great wisdom; we must be able
to do, understand, and realize everything. However, there is a higher level
or superior quality called "love". We will dry and shrivel up if
we only have wisdom but no love.
When
people scold us, imagine that it is Master scolding us, then we won't feel
hurt. Instead, we will tolerate them and thank them for getting rid of our
karma.
Our demeanor and virtues cannot
be bought with money or manifested in magnificent clothes. We have light within
that will emanate naturally to make people feel comfortable and respectful.
This is our dignity, and our magnificent clothes, generated naturally. Wearing
beautiful clothes does not necessarily win people's respect.
Time
is running out! We must be really sincere in our spiritual practice! You
can see that the climate is constantly changing, and people are coming and
going; no one can exist forever.
The Supreme power
of the Highest God and the Master are our own power. We were originally one
with the supreme power, the Master and the Creator. Therefore, when we completely
forsake the world, we come very close to the Way, the Creator, and we will
have the power to save ourselves. That is why we say, "God is in the
Heart."
Spoken
By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese)
Spiritual
Practitioners who practice well will find everything going smoothly and unhindered.
Those who fail to practice well will feel restrained and uncomfortable, even
though they have the same Master who transmitted to them the same Method and
the same power.
The "Natural Magical Power" means our omnipotent inner Master
will make all the arrangements for our needs. If Hes does not arrange
it for us, it means that the place or plan is not good for us.
In spiritual practice, don't care too much about having progressed or not.
Instead, we should care about our sincerity. Whether or not we are truly longing
for liberation.
Spoken
By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In English)
Until
we know everything we'd better not accuse, blame, or criticize anything, because
God makes everything, it's for some purpose. It's just that we don't know.
That means always concentrate,
remember that. So, you see, the masters teach you nothing new, only to
concentrate.
Spoken
By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese)
Spiritual
practice is not difficult, neither is the quest for Godhood; simply behave
like a child!
Always
practice introspection, then we will know why we have not progressed and
our spiritual level is so low.
