Aphorisms

---

By the Supreme Master Ching Hai

• The more we work, the more we try to help other people, the more we grow.
  (Originally in English)

• And whatever job we do we have to do it wholeheartedly. Moreover we still have to help our fellow beings in whatever way we can, make them happy, make them feel loved.
  (Originally in English)

• When you are working not for reward but only from love, then everything will go very smoothly.
  (Originally in Au Lac Language)

• When sincerely working for Master, we will invent a lot of ways to confront different situations. We will then discover our own wisdom, ability and talent which we ourselves never knew before.

• When we do something with concentration and spontaneity, then the result come out perfect because it comes out from God, from our real wisdom, from our real nature. Once we have some expectation or some pride in it, or some calculation in it, things go wrong.
  (Originally in English)

• Respect anyone or see anyone with pure eyes, always good for yourself. That's the best way to look at other people. (Originally in English)

• We have to help also with social work. Whatever we can do to help lessen the suffering, that is the most noble work, which will not only be recognized in this world, but also praised by heaven. (Originally in English)

• So before you misunderstand someone, or are ready to debate about something, you should consider whether you have understood correctly what the other person really meant, or whether what you are about to do is what the Master would want you to do. Constantly, reflect on your inner self in order to get in touch with your inner wisdom. Your wisdom will not misguide you. (Originally in Au Lac Language)

• If within a group, everyone has the same ideal, compromises with each other, and serves with a noble ideal, then it would be very comfortable and pleasant. (Originally in Au Lac Language)

• One more effort in helping Master's mission, to offer others the opportunity to practice, and to go back to the Tao are paving one more stepping stone on our road to the Kingdom of God. Each and every Truth practitioner has the duty to spread the Truth in various ways. This is not for Master to do alone, nor just give lectures on the stage.
  (Originally in Chinese)

• Actually our thinking is very important; we should take care that our thinking is always good.
  (Originally in English)

• The greatest enemy our organization and we ourselves have is nothing but our ego, our own pride.
  (Originally in Au Lac Language)
