Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese)
Being spiritual practitioners, we should repent even more gravely
if we have failed to use our wisdom.
Just because we complicate our lives, therefore, we cannot be one
with the universe and God can not contact us.
If we can rectify ourselves and increase the good qualities in us,
our life
will attract many of the so-called blessed retribution.
We should not try to find the Buddha nature from the outer
appearance or clothes, but we should look right through into the soul
of mankind.
To love others is to love ourselves; to hate others is to give
ourselves troubles.
Ego is a manner of arrogance and complacency. If a person always
insists on his or her thinking, preference and habit, does not
compromise comparatively with anyone, his or her ego is rather
serious.
If we talk, we must speak what we know and what we truly are
convinced with,
then it has force; then it has energy, and it benefits people.
We should not let any situation obstruct our work or our decisions. Therefore, in
this world we can live meaningfully in such a short period of time
and create many plans.
Once we attain the highest power, we can help ourselves and help the whole
world; this is the highest ideal.
The best thinking is to liberate ourselves from life and death, to get the
big wisdom, highest power and then help ourselves, help others to be
liberated from the suffering. This is the best ideal, the best
thinking.
