問：可否請您為「上帝」下個定義？您經常提到「上帝」，您認為那是什麼含意？

答：我不太清楚要怎麼給上帝下定義，就像你在談戀愛時，很難給「愛」下定義一樣，不過我會試試看。我只是擔心連地球上口才最好的人，都無法用人類有限的語言來讚美上帝（大眾鼓掌）。我只能很謙卑地告訴你，上帝就是創造我們的那一位。我們來自上帝，而且終將回歸於祂。你可以稱呼祂別的名字，比如：至高無上、天父、聖母、佛菩薩、佛祖、佛性、阿拉等等，而人類所使用的最神聖莊嚴的一個稱呼就是「上帝」，所以我就暫時用這個名字來為各位描述我們的天父。祂化育了所有的眾生，並賜予這個世界愛與生命。 沒有上帝，我們連在這裡呼吸都辦不到，我們身體會無法運作，甚至也沒辦法思考。祂是所有智慧和快樂的泉源，你們一生當中最快樂的時刻，就是最接近天堂至喜、最接近上帝的時候。當你們最有愛心、無條件奉獻時，那就是上帝在你們內邊示現的時候。你們的內邊和外在越顯現這種品質，就表示你們離上帝越近。上帝不是我們可以談論的，我們只能去感受祂、認識祂、享受祂，因為上帝是無邊的愛力和保護力，祂寬容慈悲並賜予平安。一旦我們認識上帝並信靠祂，就會無所畏懼。正如聖經所言：「上帝就是我的牧者，我必不致缺乏。」唯有我們認識上帝時，才能那樣說。

Q: Could you define God? You use the word “God” very often. What is your meaning?

M: I don’t really know how to define Hirm. It is as difficult as to define love when you fall in love. But I’ll try. I am just afraid that even the most eloquent person on this planet cannot glorify God with this limited language of humankind. (Applause) I can only tell you very humbly that God is the One who created us. From God we came out, and to God we will return. You can call Hirm another name: the Most High, the Father, the Mother, the Buddha, the Chief Buddha, the Buddha Nature, the Allah or whatever. The most holy or sacred name that humankind uses is “God.” So I also temporarily have to use that name to describe our Father to you, the Creator of all beings, the One who gives us all love and life in this world.

Without God, we could not even breathe here! We could not function and we could not even think. Hes is the source of all wisdom and all happiness. When you’re in the most happy moment of your life, that’s when you are very close to the happiness of Heaven and close to God. When you’re most loving in your heart, when you give unconditionally, that is when God manifests within you. And the more this quality manifests within and without you, that means the more you are close to God. God is not something we can talk about. We can only feel it. We can know it, and we can enjoy; because God is a tremendous power of love and protection and forgiveness and safety. Once we rest in the knowledge and the recognition of God, we fear nothing. Just like the Bible says, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Only when we know God, can we say that.

清海無上師以中文講於柬埔寨1996.3.27

　這世界有幾種選擇，宇宙不是這麼固定死板的。你看你要做什麼，你要承擔多少的重量、多少的任務，你自己弄，反正不傷害別人就好了。上帝的旨意有好幾個，我們自己可以選，不然如果什麼都是命中注定的的話，就太無聊了一點，我們可以改變，改變成好是可以的。比方說，我有這個面紙在我手上，我可以這樣保留自己用，或是看別人需要，我也可以丟給他，兩、三人需要，我丟不同的地方，不然我可以丟在垃圾桶，我就不能用，別人也不能用；我留在這邊，我一個人用，我丟在四方的話，大家可以用。這樣有很多事可以做，這個看我自己要怎麼決定，沒關係。不可能說，這上帝都安排好了，我今天衛生紙一定會丟給某某人，也不可能這樣，不這麼死板！我們可以選擇好幾樣，所以，任何的宗教都講自由選擇、自由意志力。

　這個自由意志力有的時候，也害很多人，加害我們，害我們輪輪迴迴。那個決定如果好的話，我們會收穫好的結果；如果不好的話，我們也要負很重大的責任，讓我們也不舒服、多辛苦一點等等；如果更壞的話，我們就要回來修改我們弄錯的地方，我們要回來賠償我們傷害別人的地方或損害的數目，就這樣而已。所以這個宇宙沒什麼真的好，沒什麼真的壞，就是一種循環，讓大家玩一玩，然後，時間到了就回去休息。不過，不是說因為這樣子，我們愛做什麼就做什麼，當然我們要選擇好的，因為對自己好，對別人也好，我們就不用疲勞再來來去去，因為每次來就障礙很多，不一定能夠在這個時期把我們已經弄壞的事情處理得好，然後都一直這樣混下去，到什麼時候修理好為止，有時候幾千年、幾萬年都有。

清海無上師以英文講於福爾摩沙西湖1995.10.29

　請依比例做觀音，觀音有清洗的作用，如果不做觀音的話，不會進步很快。

　同時也檢查你們的思想，如果你們檢查自己的思想，那就不會有不好的言語和行為了。假如任何念頭升起，你們馬上檢查，那它就不會發展到言語或行為，所以思想很重要，不要跟著你們的情慾或你們的思想走，你們要互相提醒：「戒律從思想開始；純潔從思想開始。」所以檢查你們自己的想法。

We have various options in this world. The universe is not as rigid and dull as you might think. So, it's really up to you to decide what you want to do and how much of a load and responsibility you want to handle. You can do it as long as you don't hurt other people. God has a few wishes, but we make the choices ourselves. Otherwise, it would be too boring if everything were predestined. We can change things, but we must make good changes, and then it is okay.

 For example, this package of tissues in my hand, I can keep it for my own use, or I can toss the tissues to people in need - two or three of them. I can toss them in different directions. I can also discard the packet in the dustbin and then no one can use it. If I keep it, I am the only one who can use it; however, people can make use of these tissues if I put some everywhere. In this way, I have many choices. It's up to me to decide, and that's all right. It's impossible to say that God has arranged for me to throw this packet of tissues to a designated person. It can't be like that. The universe isn't that monotonous; we have many choices.

All kinds of religions talk about free will, which sometimes brings harm to many people as well as ourselves and makes us transmigrate. If we make a good decision, the result will be good, and we'll reap the benefits. Otherwise, we'll have to shoulder a heavy responsibility that makes us feel uncomfortable and is very tiresome. Even worse, we'll have to come back to amend the things we've done wrong, compensate for the harm that we've done or the losses that all those people have incurred. That's just the way it is.

It's true; nothing is really good or bad in the universe, it's only a cycle. Everyone plays his or her role, and we go back to rest when the time comes. However, this is not an excuse for us to act irresponsibly. Certainly, we must choose to do good things because they will benefit us and others, too; and we won't have to exhaust ourselves with transmigration. There are many obstacles each time we come here. It's not definite that we can fix the things we've done wrong within the periods of time that we're back. Consequently, we have to carry on this way until all has been amended, and sometimes this takes thousands of years.

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai
International 7-Day Retreat; Formosa October 29, 1995
(Originally in English)

Please remember to do the Quan Yin according to the proper proportions. The Quan Yin is the one to clean. Sometimes people sit there and they don't do the Quan Yin. In that case, they cannot progress very quickly. Also, try to check your thoughts. If you check your thoughts, there is no bad speech and there are no bad deeds. If one thought arises and you check it immediately, it will not come out of your mouth or result in action. So, thought is important. Don't follow your passion or your thoughts, in your mind. You remind each other. The precepts begin from your thoughts. Purity begins from your thoughts. So, check your own thinking.

Respect the Temple of God Free Will

同修：我們來這裡後才找工作的。

師父：工作好找嗎？

同修：只是一些簡單的工作。

師父：這裡容易找到工作嗎？

同修：很容易，如果想找簡單的工作，像是幫人打掃之類的，那很容易。

師父：是啊，有何不可？足夠維生就可以了，真好！

同修：是的，打掃之類的工作機會很多。

師父：生活簡單的話，就沒必要去找什麼大不了的工作。

同修：因為我們一大清早就工作，所以有很多空閒時間可以打坐。

師父：你們都在早上工作嗎？（同修：我們四、五點就去做打掃的工作。）哇，很勤奮！（同修：然後整天就有很多空閒時間。）噢，我很佩服！（同修：這樣的生活很棒！非常美好！）我很佩服！你倆一起工作嗎？

同修：是的，我們一起打掃。

師父：你們在哪裡找到打掃工作？

同修：在一些辦公場所，有時候在一些住家。

師父：喔，我懂了。你們是受雇於一家公司還是自行找客戶？

同修：有些是自己找的，有些是仲介公司介紹。

師父：那樣的生活可以嗎？（同修：噢，我們都很喜歡。）兩人的收入夠用嗎？

同修：生活上是夠用了。

師父：沒錯，你們看起來很快樂！（同修：噢，非常快樂！）你們兩人都很有智慧。

同修：我們過得非常、非常快樂！這一切都因為有您的幫忙，因為您的緣故。

師父：為什麼？我做了什麼呢？

同修：每天都是奇蹟！在一卷錄影帶開示中，您建議我們做些很簡單的工作，像是打掃。這樣的生活真的很美好。

師父：是呀！如果你想當美國總統，我就不敢擔保了。但如果你只想有一份正當的工作，靠雙手勞動謀生的話，這類的工作很多！只要去找那些別人不想做，也不用花太多腦筋的工作，那麼你的頭腦就自由了！工作時還可以一邊默念佛號，加持別人的家，又可以賺錢！

同修：我們在打掃時也聆聽您的MP3，聽您的創作樂曲、佛讚和開示。

師父：噢！這樣很好。勞動身體也有益健康，有些人還必須花很多錢上健身房運動，而你們只要搬椅子、擦桌子就夠了！（大眾笑）

同修：以前我打坐時膝蓋會痛。自從開始做打掃的工作以來，由於活動量大，常彎腰，現在已經沒有這個問題了。

師父：那也是業障使然。如果我們自力謀生，各方面都會更好，這裡會感到舒服（師父指著她的心臟）。當你心情舒暢，身體自然也會好，兩者息息相關。身、心、靈、情緒都是息息相關的，這個道理你們都很明白。有時當你感到很沮喪時，就很容易生病，然後全身這裡痛、那裡痛！有些人看不起像清潔工之類的勞動工作，我不會！任何人正當地工作賺錢，我都心存敬意。只要你有獲得酬勞，我就會尊敬你。（大眾笑）

同修：人們下班後回家，看到家中一塵不染都很高興。（師父：是嗎？）有些人雖然不認識我們，仍將鑰匙留給我們，讓我們進去打掃。他們相當信任我們，這令我們感到開心，他們非常放心地讓我們打掃他們的房子。

師父：這是因為你們是好人，他們感覺得出來。（同修：是，真的很棒！）真好，我為你們感到高興。你們快樂嗎？（同修：每天都快樂！）很好！

同修：我們每天都很感謝您。

師父：你們真好！都是好人。（同修：謝謝師父。）不，這也是你們自己很好的緣故。因為你們善良，尊重自己並有自信，所以無論你們做什麼，心情都很愉快。有些人並不尊重自己，認為必須當個大人物才能尊重自己。在我們團體中則不然，每個人做自己的事，只要你們能照顧好自己，正當地賺取生活所需，這樣就夠了。我們通常不在乎誰是誰，我從來不過問！印心時，他們會問你的職業，那是萬一在團體中或是去做賑災工作之類的事時，他們才知道誰有哪些專長，或方便小中心指派某項工作給你。比方說你是個電工，當小中心電路故障時，就可以幫忙維護。僅是如此而已！

我從不需要知道你們的職業，我根本也不知道！你們多數人我都不認識，也不知道你們從事什麼工作。有時我會問一下，只不過為了聊聊天。我不用知道你們是誰，我完全不需要你們！我只要知道你們過得快樂就行了。像你們做打掃的工作，就是將我的教理實際運用在生活上。你們正當地賺取生活所需，照顧好自己，並省下時間來打坐，這是你們所能做的最令人敬佩之事。你們做些工作，賺取一點生活費照顧自己，這樣既不會麻煩別人，也不會有債務問題。因為你花越多錢，就得借更多錢，最後就被綁住，這樣並不好。最好衡量自己的經濟能力，量入為出，經濟能力好，才多花一點；如果荷包有限，就少花一點。

P: We came here and found work.

M: It’s easy?

P: Just simple jobs.

M: Is it easy to find a job here?

P: It’s very easy. If you want a simple job, doing cleaning and things, it’s very simple.

M: Yes, why not? Just enough to live, my God!

P: Yes, there are a lot of jobs in cleaning.

M: No need to have a big deal job if you’re simple.

P: We have a lot of time free as well for meditation, because we work very early in the morning.

M: You work in the morning here, now? (P: At 4 or 5 o’clock, we go and do our cleaning jobs.) Wow, that’s very diligent! (P: And then we’ve got most of the day free.) Oh, I’m impressed! (P: It’s a great life! It’s very nice.) I’m impressed! Both of you are working together?

P: Yes, we both clean together.

M: But, where did you get the cleaning job?

P: In offices, and in people’s houses sometimes.

M: Oh, I see, I see. So, you’re employed by a company, or just freelance?

P: Some are freelance and some are through an agency.

M: And you’re fine with that? (P: Oh, we like it.) You both earn enough?

P: To live on, yes!

M: Yes, you look happy! (P: Oh, very!) You’re both very wise.

P: We’re very, very happy! It’s through all Your help, and just because of You.

M: Why? What did I do?

P: Miracles every day! You gave us some advice on a video to do very simple work, cleaning, and it’s worked out beautifully.

M: Yes! If you want to be president of the United States, I cannot guarantee that. But if you just want to have an honest living, by the labor of your hands, there’s plenty! Just take the jobs that other people don’t want and that don’t need thinking too much. Then your mind is free, also. Recite the Holy Names all the while, blessing their home, and get paid for it!

P: And we listen to Your MP3s when we’re cleaning, too, with Your music and chanting and lectures.

M: Oh, that’s nice. Also, it’s very healthy to do exercise. Some people have to pay lots of money to go to the gym. And here, you just lift the chair and clean the table! (Laughter)

Q: I used to have a problem in my knees when I meditated, but since I’ve been cleaning, with so much exercise and bending, I have no problem now.

M: It’s also the karma. If we do some work to earn a living, it’s better for everything. You feel good in there (Master gestures toward Her heart), so when you feel good, the body feels good. It’s connected, the emotional, spiritual, mental and physical; they are all connected. Yes, you know that very well. Sometimes when you are very depressed, you easily get sick. And then there’s pain here, pain there, pain everywhere. So some people look down upon physical work, like cleaning or doing anything. I don’t! I have respect for everyone who gets a job and gets paid. As long as you get paid, I have respect for you. (Everyone laughs)

P: The people are really happy to find their houses all clean when they get home from work. (Master: Yes?) And we’ve found that people who don’t even know us just leave us their key, and then we just go and clean. They are very trusting, which is lovely, very trusting to leave us their house to clean.

M: Yes, it’s because you are good. They can feel it. (P: Yes, it’s nice.) That’s good. I’m happy for you. And you are happy, yes? (P: Every day!) Good!

P: We say thank You every day.

M: You are so good! You are good people. (P: Thank You, Master.) No, it’s you who are good also. Because you are good, you have your self-esteem and self-confidence. You just do whatever, and you still feel great. Some people don’t have self-respect, so they think they have to be something in order to respect themselves. In our group, it’s different. You do what you do, and as long as you take care of yourself, earn an honest living if you can, that’s all we want. We don’t care who you are, normally. I never ask! At the time of initiation, they do ask you what you do, just in case, in a group or if they go to disaster victims or something, they know who is capable of what. Or maybe if you are in a Center, you are appointed to work at something. If you’re an electrician, you take care of the electricity in the Center in case something goes wrong. That’s all.

But I never need to know. I don’t even know! For most of you, I don’t know who or what you’re doing. Sometimes I ask, just for conversation, just to talk. But I don’t need to know who you are. I don’t need you, totally! I just need to know that you are happy, like you’re doing the cleaning job, you are really living my teachings. You go earn your honest living and you take care of yourselves and you save time to meditate. That is the most respectful thing you could ever do. When you do this or that job and just earn a little money to take care of yourself, you don’t bother anyone and you don’t incur any trouble. Because sometimes the more you spend, the more you have to borrow, and that binds you, which is no good. Better live within our means, with whatever you have. If you have big, then spend big. If you have small, spend small.

問：我了解我們不用選擇太多，因為反正一切都是命中注定。（師父答：是）既然如此，如果根本沒有轉圜的餘地，為何又說我們得盡力而為？

答：我們努力是為了將來。我們盡力而為，譬如打坐，那是為了天堂的果位，那是不同的獎賞。

問：了解，但是我們能做的真的僅止於此嗎？難道都沒有更可行的辦法嗎？

答：你盡力試試看，如果不成，你就知道命中注定不該如此。不過你還是可以盡力去做，比方說如果你想幫助別人，你隨時都可以做，你不需要命中注定才能幫人。命運是指你會發生哪些事，以及你可以得到什麼；不過如果你想跟別人分享，你想布施什麼，這些事的自主權永遠在你，由你自由決定！你想做任何事利益別人的話，永遠都是你的自由。

如同生活中有免費的事物，靈性層面也是一樣。例如日常生活中，我們有很多事都要付費，但是也有一些事是免費的，像是免費的教育、免費的健康檢查、免費的空氣等等，這些都是免費的。有時政府會提供補助金，可以免費享受，也許不是很多，但是不用錢。

有些人沒錢，或是不想花錢，你知道他們怎麼能每個禮拜都吃大餐嗎？他們跑去那些開幕餐會，或是婚喪喜慶之類的筵席，那裡沒有人會檢查賓客。他們會先查看報紙，上面總是刊登哪兒有這類宴會的訊息，然後他們就挑這些地方，去那兒白吃白喝一頓，接著再到別處。他們整個輩子都吃免費的大餐。

我不是叫你們那樣做（大家笑），只是舉個例子，說明生活中有些免費的東西，你沒錢也可以享受。所以我們生命中可以提供的免費項目就是我們可以給予別人。我們可以愛人，分享修行的訊息、修行的功德和能量。這些事我們可以自由自在地做，沒有人能阻止你。

Q: I understand that we don’t have to choose much because everything is destiny anyhow. (Master: Yes.) So, what does it mean that we have to do our best, if there is nothing to do, anyway?

M: We do that for the future. We do our best, like we meditate. That’s for Heaven; that’s a different reward.

Q: Yes, but is that really all we can do? Is there nothing that’s best for us to do?

M: You try your best. If you cannot do it, then you know it’s not yours. But you try your best in some way; for instance, if you want to help other people, you can always do that. You don’t need destiny for that. Destiny is only what happens to you and what you can have. But what you want to share, what you want to give, is always available. It’s free! Whatever you want to do, which is good for other people, is always free.

There are free things in the spiritual domain, the same as free things in life. In life you have to pay for many things, but there are free things also, like free education, free medical check-ups, free air and so on. These are free. Sometimes, the government has a grant. That’s something free. Maybe not a lot, but it’s something free.

Some people don’t have money or don’t want to spend money. So you know how they do it? They have a party every week! They go to those opening parties or weddings or funerals, where no one checks you. They look at the newspaper, and always there’s some party here or party there. So they go there all the time! They have free drinks and free food, and then go on to the next. The whole of their life is a free party.

I am not telling you to do that! (Laughter) It’s just an example of the free things in life that you could have. So, our free thing in life is that we can give to others. We can love: We can share spiritual news, spiritual merit and spiritual energy. That’s a free thing you can do. No one can stop you.

問：如何才能積極又快樂地生活在這個社會中？因為我內心很想遠離塵世，專心想念上帝，不過我又告訴自己必須像師父一樣，必須堅強、在社會上謀生，同時一邊修行。

答：是，沒錯，那會使你堅強。你幾歲了？（同修：我今年二十二歲）才二十二歲！你還有很多事要做。別擔心，繼續生活下去。

問：謝謝您的加持！我知道您與我同在。

答：你看起來那麼年輕漂亮，要在外面做個好榜樣。如果每個人都來跟著我或隱居山林，世人就無從得知其他任何事了。你們要當我的眼睛、我的耳朵、我的手，及傳遞加持的管道，代表我的愛和我的言行，讓世人看見你們就如同看到我，並且效法你們。這就是我們加持世界的方式，所以我們才要修行。

問：謝謝您。

答：不客氣。我也不會逃到什麼地方去，只是有時上蒼會說「不行」，那時候我就得做其他靈性上的事情。雖然有些看起來像是世俗的事，不過也跟靈性有關；我在不同的時候做不同的事。我們哪裡也不去，就算要走，也是等到最後一刻才到上面的天堂去！（師父笑）我們哪裡都不逃，就待在這裡。

問：而且要堅強。

答：對，要堅強，因為所有這些工作和挑戰都會使我們更有智慧，而各種苦難有時也會使我們更有慈悲心。每件事都對我們有好處。不然，最起碼也可以清付自己的業障，我是指你們的業障（大眾笑）。好吧！是我們的業障。我們是一起的、是同夥，是嗎？好了，親愛的！別擔心。（同修：我愛您！）你做得很好，我也愛你。我非常以你們為榮，特別是年輕的同修，真的很不容易。社會上有那麼多誘惑，而你們年紀輕輕，很容易受到各種打擊與引誘，卻還能堅持吃素、不暴力、持五戒、儘量多打坐，實在很了不起！我十分以你們為榮。不必擔心，你們很好。

問：有您當我的師父，我真的引以為傲。

答：我所做的很多事都會讓你們相當引以為傲！（大眾笑）不過我不告訴你們，因為大多是默默做的，跟你們所做的事差不多。這幾年來，還有今年，發生了這麼多災難之類的事情，但是我為你們感到驕傲，世界各地的同修一直都將我的愛散播到各個需要的角落去，令我感到很欣慰。我們盡全力安撫生還者，並拯救死者；我是指他們的靈魂。重要的是靈魂得救，而不是肉體。如果能夠，我們也救肉體；否則，救靈魂比較重要。當靈魂離開肉體後，我們就照顧靈魂，那比救助傷者還重要，不過我們兩方面都做。

這才是最佳之道。我想不出還有其他任何事會比我們現在所做的對社會更有貢獻。我們利用書刊、錄音帶、錄影帶，透過言談以及美好的能量，默默地幫助世人的靈性，同時也給予物質上的援助。我覺得沒有比這樣更好的了；我認為這個星球上沒有其他人或其他團體會做得比我們更好，所以我十分以你們為榮。我也很感謝其他所有的同修（師父對著攝影鏡頭，以手勢表示指的是全世界所有的同修），你們樹立了非常好的榜樣。

問：感謝師父。

答：反正我們有「家」可回，這才重要。我們只在這裡待一陣子而已，對我們多數人而言，並不算太久，是嗎？（同修：是）不，你還年輕，你得留下來，你不會那麼快走。不過快慢都一樣，沒有差別。不管多留幾年或少留幾年，我們都一樣完成了任務，等我們走了以後，會留下遺產。我們離開這個世界、離開這個星球以後，不是留下這個肉體，而是留給後代子孫美好的靈性遺產，那是我們送給這個星球的最佳禮物。雖然很多人不珍惜它，但我們不是為了別人的賞識而做，就像我們幫助有形的災難也不求回報，是一樣的道理。

Selected Questions and Answers

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai,
London, United Kingdom, December 31, 2005 (Originally in English)

 

Q: How can I be motivated and be happy to live in this society? Because inside me, I want to run away and just focus on You. But then I tell myself that I have to be like You, to be strong and to survive in this society and also maintain my spiritual practice.

M: Yes, that’s right. That will make you strong. How old are you? (Q: I am 22.) Only 22! You have a lot to do. Don’t worry; just keep going.

Q: Thank You for Your blessing. I know that You are with me.

M: You look so young and beautiful. Stay out there and make a shining example. If everyone comes and follows me or hides in the mountain, no one will know anything else. You have to be my eyes, my ears, my hands, my blessings extended, my love, my example. If people see you, they see me, and they follow you. That’s the way we bless the world. That’s why we practice.

Q: Thank You.

M: You are welcome. I’m not running away anywhere. It’s just that there are times when Heaven says No. At that time, I have to do something else, spiritually. Sometimes it looks like materially, but it’s also spiritually. At different times, I do different things. We are not running anywhere at all. If we run, then we run up there, to Heaven, at the last minute! (Master laughs) We are not running anywhere; we stay here.

Q: And be strong.

M: Yes, be strong, because all this work and all these challenges make you more intelligent. And all the suffering sometimes makes you more compassionate. Everything is good for us. If not, then at least we clean the karma, our karma. I mean, your karma. (Everyone laughs) OK, our karma; we’re together, as accomplices, right? Alright, love! Don’t worry. (Q: I love You.) You’re doing fine. I love you, too. I am so proud of you guys, especially the young ones. It’s very difficult. In this society, there are so many temptations. And you’re young and vulnerable to all kinds of attack and all kinds of seduction, and yet you still go on being vegetarian and non-violent, keeping the Precepts and meditating as much as possible. That’s very fantastic! I am very proud of you. Don’t worry, you are fine.

Q: I am so proud to have You as my Master.

M: Many things I do, you’d be very proud! (Laughter) But I don’t tell you. Because mostly I do it quietly, similar to the things that you are doing. Over the years, and this year, there are so many disasters and all. I am so proud of you; I am very pleased that all of you around the world have been extending my love to every corner that needs it. We do the best we can to comfort the living and to save the dead, or their souls; it is important that the soul is saved, not the body. If we can save the body, we do that as well. But if not, more importantly is the soul. When the soul leaves the body, we take care. That’s more important than even giving aid. But we do both.

That’s the best way. I cannot think of anything else better to give to the society than what we are doing. We help spiritually, silently or quietly, with books, with tapes, with talks, with your beautiful energy, and we give also material aid. I don’t think we can do any better than that. I don’t think anyone or any group on this planet could do better than what we do. So I’m very proud of you. And I thank you also, all of you out there (Master looks directly into the camera and gestures to indicate all practitioners in the world), for being a good example.

Q: Thank You, Master.

M: We have Home to go to anyway. That’s the thing. We just sojourn here for a while. For most of us, it doesn’t take long, right? (Q: Yes.) No, you’re still young. You stay here! For you it’s not that quick. But quick or not quick, it is the same. A few years more, a few years less, and we’re done. And then, we leave the legacy behind us. After we leave the world, after we leave this planet, we don’t leave the physical body here, but we leave a beautiful spiritual inheritance for our next generations. That’s the best gift we can give to the planet. Many people don’t appreciate it, but we don’t do it for appreciation. Just like when we help with the physical disaster, we don’t ask for anything in return. It’s the same.

清海無上師以英文講於瑞典斯德哥爾摩1999.05.31（影帶編號＃655下集）

問：親愛的師父，您對人類在宇宙中所扮演的角色有何看法？我們是否與所有其他有智慧、有感情的生物平等，即使他們在其他星球體系中繁衍？

答：在靈性上眾生都是平等的。不過，有些星球的靈性發展比我們高等，有些則沒那麼高等；有些在科技方面較先進，有些則比較落後。

宇宙中有各式各樣的眾生，上帝創造他們如同創造我們一樣。有些眾生較為粗糙，他們生命體的能量比我們密集；有些則不那麼密集，所以比較看不到他們的樣子。不過宇宙中每個眾生都有其作用，都是整個造化中不可或缺的一部分，如同這座建築物的每一塊磚、瓦都很重要。所有眾生都是由一股無形的愛力連繫在一起。

所以我們應該相親相愛，不該打仗，也不該製造仇恨和痛苦，因為我們彼此相依共生，只是我們忘記了。所以我們應該要有慈悲心，即使對待動物也是一樣，這就是我們應該吃素的原因。

珍惜家庭的靈性價值

問：您對家庭有什麼看法？

答：家庭對我們很有幫助，如果沒有親人的支持，生活可能變得又孤單又掙扎。家庭是我們該珍惜的寶藏，我們應該愛家人，感激他們，依照他們希望的方式讓他們快樂，而不是以我們自己的方式來做。我們為家庭付出越多愛心和奉獻，得到的回饋就越多，大家在一起就會更快樂。

我們可以獨自生活，也可以選擇和家人住在一起。若是我們有家庭的話，就要讓自己成為家中最好的一分子。家庭是世界的基礎，我們應該好好照顧，讓家庭幸福美滿。

讓靈魂與上帝重新連線

問：親愛的師父，您就像永恆的女王一般美麗。與其他人比起來，我是個很光亮且永遠快樂的靈魂；但這卻吸來很黑暗的力量，因為嫉妒的人會對抗我，使我的人生一直充滿艱辛。我知道上帝一直陪伴著我，但為何我身邊會有那些黑暗的力量？我很努力想認識光亮的一面，但為何會有這些黑暗的勢力？

答：來印心就會得到保護的力量。有些人的靈魂很敏感，他們的內心和靈性中心是敞開的，當各種不同的力量從敞開的門進去時，他們不知道該如何處理和掩護自己。印心時我會教你們如何保護自己，所以修行才需要正確的法門。千萬不要自行打坐或光是看書學習，因為書本不能傳力量給你，無法喚醒來自上帝的靈性保護力量，所以很可能會遇到危險，或遭到各種力量的攻擊，不管是好的、壞的都會過來，這是因為「門口」沒有守衛看護。

此外，我們在一生中也應該提昇自己的意識，達到比較崇高的目標。幫助他人認識上帝，幫助困苦的人，並時時想念上帝，想更為高雅的生活方式，我們就會提昇到較高的等級，這時低等的境界就無法影響我們。因為我們的思想越否定，就會吸引越多的否定力量；而吸引越多否定力量，思想就越無法肯定。如此一來我們會不斷地沉淪下去，這樣對我們不好。

我知道說比做容易，不過你可以試看看。儘量多和那些高雅的人來往，他們有比較高等的生活目標，他們會助你一臂之力提昇你，然後你會再度變得堅強，那時就可以自己前進。我們同修都是能量很強、很肯定的人，和他們相處一陣子，一定有助於提昇你的靈性。有時和那些黑暗、不好的人交往，你若是還不夠強壯而無法幫助他們的話，他們會反過來「幫助」你，把你拉下去。所以最好和肯定的人在一起，至少在剛開始起步時要這樣。所以我們每週都有共修，如此你們可以互相扶持，直到你們完全自在，成為自己的明師為止。你們也可以彼此分擔問題，因為有人分擔的話，問題就減少了一半，而且大家可以互相幫助。

Selected Questions and Answers

All Beings Are Linked by the            
    Invisible Force of Love

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Stockholm, Sweden, May 31, 1999
(Originally in English)
Videotape #655 (Part II)

Q: What is your view, dear Master, of humankind’s role in the universe? Are we equal to all other intelligent and emotional organisms, even those who eventually prosper in other planet systems?

M: We are all equal, spiritually. But some of the other planets are more advanced in spiritual progress than us, and some are less advanced in spiritual progress. Some are more advanced in technology, while some are less advanced in technology.

There are all kinds of beings in the universe, and God made them just as God made us. Some are coarser; the energy of their being is denser than ours. Some have less density so they are more invisible. But every being in this universe is necessary and has a very essential part in the whole creation, just like every brick in this building is very important. We are all linked together by an invisible force of love.

That’s why we should love one another and should not make war; we should not cause hatred or suffering because we depend on each other to live. It’s just that we have forgotten. That’s why we should be kind also, even to animals; we should be vegetarian.

Q: What is your view of family?

M: Family is very good for you. Life can be lonely and a struggle without the support of loved ones. The family should be your cherished treasure. You should love them, appreciate them and make them feel happy the way they want, not just the way you want. The more love and sacrifice you put into your family, the more you will get in return, and the more you will all be happy together.

You can live alone, but you can also live with family. And if you have family, you should be the best family member. The family is the foundation of the world. We should take care that it stays intact and beautiful.

Q: Dear Master, You are as beautiful as the eternal Queen. I am a very bright and eternally happy soul, who sees more than other people. This makes me attract very dark forces. Because envious people are against me, my life has been very tough. I know that God is there all the time, but why are those dark forces all around my body? I am working actively to know the white Light, so why those dark forces?

M: Get initiation and get the protection. Some people are very sensitive souls, and they’re open. Their heart is open, their spiritual center is open, but they don’t know how to deal with or how to screen the different forces that come through the open gates. So I will teach you at the time of initiation how to protect yourself. That’s why you should learn properly; don’t just meditate alone or learn from a book, because the book doesn’t empower you; it doesn’t awaken the spiritual protection from God. So you might be prone to danger or all kinds of attack from different forces, good and bad, that are all coming because there’s no guard at the door.

Also, during our life we should raise our consciousness to more noble goals, helping others to know God, helping others in need and aiming to think of God all the time, thinking of a more noble way of life. Then we will rise up to a higher level, where the lower level cannot reach us. Because the more we think negatively, the more we attract the negative force; and the more we attract the negative force, the more we can’t think positively. And so we keep being pressed down, and that’s no good.

I know it’s easier said than done, but you can try. Try to associate with more noble souls who have a higher purpose in life. Then they will also help you by holding your hand and lifting you up, so then you will become strong again and you can walk alone. Our people are a very highly energetic and positive group! Associate with them for a while, and it definitely will help you elevate your spirit. Sometimes if you keep dark or bad company when you’re not strong enough to help them, they will also “help” you and drag you down. So it’s better to be with positive people, at least in the beginning. That’s why we have things like group meditation weekly, so you can support one another until you can be free and walk as a Master yourself. You can also share problems, because a problem shared is a problem halved; and then they can help you.

Sincerity and Concentration Determine the Effects of Group Meditation

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Videoconference with initiates
from San Jose, Costa Rica,
September 28, 2002
(Originally in English)

Q: During group meditation, the karma and energy are shared. How much does this affect the practitioners?

M: It depends on your sincerity and concentration at the time. The more concentrated and sincere you are, the more blessing you get from your share. You only get as much as you can receive so concentrate, be sincere!

Overcome the Karmic Obstacles on the Spiritual Path

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Videoconference with initiates
from Hamburg, Germany, October 6, 2002 (Originally in English)

Q: Everyone has reached a certain level so is it possible for us to fall to a lower level?

M: For a while, yes, but mostly not. For example, if you’re going upward and then suddenly accrue some bad karma, of course you have to be cleansed. And it seems as though you’re going downward, but you’re not. It’s just a cleansing process. Most of the time you just go up. You never go downward and anything that happens just slows down your progress. It’s like an obstacle, like you’re driving on the highway very nicely and suddenly there’s a stone in the road or a carcass or some dead animal, and you have to stop or go sideways and then around it or remove the obstacle and go on. It only slows you down.

答：繼續練習！熟能生巧，繼續努力！這並不容易，因為這世界太混亂了，太多事一直在讓我們分心。不過重點不在於結果成功與否，而是奮鬥的過程。努力鍛鍊自己堅忍不拔的毅力和誠心，這才重要。因為上帝並非總是看誰打坐最好，也會看誰最誠心。你只要走一步，其餘的九十九步上天會幫你完成，所以只要努力去做、盡力而為就對了！

我已經告訴過你們很多次，只要盡力打坐就是了。如果想要幫助自己，那就幫助別人，幫助其他兄弟姊妹，幫忙傳播靈性的訊息，那就是幫助自己最好的方法。我們所能帶給別人的最好禮物並不是物質上的幫助，靈性的禮物才是最好的！

..........................................................................................................................................

很多因素影響專心程度

問：我不太能集中注意力，有時我可以比較專注，但有時注意力會分散。不知是否可以請師父指點一個最好的方法，讓我注意力更能集中、專注力更強、更能一心不亂，因為我發現有時難以專心。

答：我知道！我知道！他們都一樣，你問他們！不是只有你這樣而已，所以你應該說「我們」，而不是說「我」（大眾笑）。別擔心！能不能專心，不完全是你個人的問題，有時也跟你剛才吃的東西、遇到的人，以及看了什麼電視節目或雜誌有關，這種事很難說，有時也跟你剛剛去過什麼地方有關，意思說跟那個地方的環境、磁場都有關係，事實就是這樣。所以只要盡力而為就好，我只能這麼說。盡你所能，別擔心！

Concentration Can Be Affected
by Many Factors

Q: I have a little bit of difficulty with my concentration. There are times I can concentrate better than others, but sometimes my concentration is scattered. And I just wanted to know if You could help me find the best way to try and concentrate better so that my concentration is more strong and one-pointed. Because I find sometimes I have difficulty with that.

M: I know, I know. They all do: Ask them! You are not the only one; you can say “we.” You don’t have to say “I.” (Laughter) Don’t worry. The concentration doesn’t always depend on you alone. It can depend on what you have just eaten, or whom you have just met, or which television show you’ve just seen or what magazine you’ve just read. It’s very tricky. Or, wherever you’ve just been, meaning the environment or the energy of that place. But it’s always like that. So just try your best; that’s all I can say. Try your best, and don’t worry.

清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.02 

師父：你們有問題的時候，打坐是唯一的解決之道，此外我不知道還能說什麼。打坐以後，也許不會馬上得到答案，不過只要你打坐夠專心，答案一定會浮現，靈感也會自然來。如果這樣你還不確定，那就拿紅色和綠色的糖果各一顆，像這樣上下擲幾次，然後祈求師父說：綠的表示「行」，紅的表示「不行」（大眾笑）。不過這種方法不一定每次都準，你們知道是什麼原因嗎？為什麼不一定每次都準？

同修甲：正確的機率只有百分之五十。

師父：不過為什麼呢？

師父：不過為什麼呢？

同修甲：就像賭博一樣，基本上是命中注定。

師父：你的意思是因為命中注定，所以人不能改變命運嗎？

同修甲：人可以改變命運，如果你拿到綠的，還是可以藉由打坐來改變。

師父：不，我是問你們為什麼結果不一定準。師兄，是什麼原因？怎麼你們男眾老是聽不清楚？（師父讓另一位同修回答）告訴我！

同修乙：因果一直在轉變。

師父：有可能！

同修丙：打坐時不夠專心。

師父：也對！

同修丁：因為頭腦的關係。

師父：好！頭腦、打坐和因果。

同修戊：一種情況可能有好幾種解決方案。

師父：嗯，也對。你們大家都說得很好，很好的誤解！（師父在開玩笑）不見得每個解決方法都可以明確地說「可行」或「不可行」，因為總會牽連到別的事情，所以我們只能選一個自認為是最好的方法。每次我們作了選擇之後，總會牽連到其他的事，就像額外的「贈品」一樣。除非是修行很高等的人才能看清一切，不然，我們通常只能依靠直覺或是受業力牽引。

即使是那些已經修行很高等並通曉一切的人，有時也無法如自己所願去做，真的是這樣，因為會有業力在「背後」拉扯：包括前世和今生的因果，以及其他有關聯的人，像是朋友、敵人、前世的親戚、前世的丈夫、妻子等等，所有這些因果有時會讓我們的日子不好過，有時則讓我們的生活多采多姿和充滿挑戰性，而這就是我們所謂的人生！

Life's Challenges Can't Be Solved with Absolute Answers

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai,
Surrey, United Kingdom
January 2, 2006 (Originally in English)

M: When you have any problem, the only solution is to meditate. I don’t know what else to say. And then, the answer might not come right away, but it will come if you concentrate well. Then the idea will just come. And if you’re still not sure, then just take one red and one green candy, and toss them around like this. Pray to Master: “Green is ‘OK’; red is ‘No.’” (Laughter) But this is not always accurate. Do you know why? You know why it’s not always accurate?

Practitioners 1: There’s only a 50 percent chance of being right.

M: But why?

P1: It’s like gambling. Basically, it’s just destiny.

M: You mean you can’t change your fate, because of destiny?

P1: You can change it. So if you picked green, then you could change it through your meditation.

M: No, I asked you why it is not always accurate. My brother, what is it? How come you men don’t listen well! (Master allows another person to speak) Tell me!

Practitioners 2: The karma’s always changing.

M: That’s possible.

Practitioner 3: You didn’t concentrate well enough when you meditated.

M: True, also!

Practitioner 4: Because of the mind.

M: Yes! Mind, meditation and karma..

Practitioner 5: There could be a few solutions to one situation.

M: Also, yes! You guys are good! (Master jokes) Good misunderstanding! There’s not always a definite ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a solution. There’s always some string attached, so you choose whatever way you think is the best. And every time we choose something, there is something else to go with it, like an extra ‘gift.’ So unless you go really high and then you can see very well, you otherwise mostly have to rely on intuition and karmic destination.

And even then, if you go very high up and you know the things well, sometimes you still cannot act according to what you want, really. Because the karma from ‘behind,’ be it from the past lives, the present life and the other people involved - the friends, the enemies, the ex-life relatives, the ex-life husband or wife -- all these things can sometimes make our life difficult, colorful and challenging. And that’s what we call life. C’est la vie! (Such is life!)

愛力與恩典是最高的宇宙法律

答：宇宙有兩種不同等級的法律，一種是純然愛力和恩典的法律，另一種是因果法律。在較高等的天國只有愛力和恩典，這是那裡唯一的法律。不過當我們處在宇宙中較低等的地方，比如我們這種物質境界，就必須遵守因果法律，也就是聖經所言：「種什麼因，得什麼果。」

所以多數沒有和上帝溝通的人必須忍受因果報應的法則，但是對那些能提昇到較高等境界的人來說，他們享受著全然的愛力和恩典。上帝絕不會審判我們。

問：如果知道自己缺乏同情心，是應該假裝有同情心，或是慢慢培養？

答：我建議你用第二個方法（大眾笑）。如果沒有同情心，至少可以開始學習。不是說「假裝」去同情，而是要「學習」去同情。就像不會說英文的學生，他可以跟著老師唸，即使他不知道所有英文典籍上的字彙，至少他每天學幾句、背幾頁，有一天就可以學好這個課程。每個人都必須學習，沒有人是所謂的假裝，只是因為他沒學過，沒有人教過他，他還沒練習如何同情別人。所以先從小處學起，然後慢慢加強，直到完全發展同情心而不自覺，沒有這個「我」知道自己有同情心。

清海無上師以英文講於澳洲布里斯本 1993.03.20（影帶編號#337）

.........................................................................................................................................

問：我們要如何擺脫工作的壓力？
答：天底下沒有不勞而獲的事，任何工作都會有壓力。妳去問看看有誰沒有工作壓力？即使當家庭主婦、養小孩也都會有壓力。妳的工作是什麼？ 

問：我教中國文學。 
答：學生會帶給妳壓力嗎？ 

問：學生會抱怨，同事之間也會互相競爭。大家為了爭取終身職，在這個專業領域競爭很激烈。 
答：為什麼？ 

問：因為每位剛進去的教員都必須經過五、六年的評鑑合格後，他們的職位才算穩固，而這方面的教學評鑑、學術成就和論文發表都競爭十分激烈，時間常常不夠。我知道每個人都有時間不夠的問題，但是我們根本沒空輕鬆一下。 
答：你們總是在趕時間？ 

問：是的，然後我就失去耐心。我以前是個很有耐心的人，但現在不再是了。 
答：所以壓力很大！妳在家裡也要做家庭主婦的工作嗎？ 

問：不用。 
答：只需做專業上的工作？ 

問：是的。我回家後就做研究，寫論文發表在刊物上，這樣才能晉升為教授，否則就不會被續聘。 
答：妳喜歡這份工作嗎？ 

問：就某種程度而言，還蠻樂在其中的。 
答：妳會比較喜歡做些別的事嗎？撇開那些什麼該做、什麼不該做的大道理，妳有更喜歡從事的行業嗎？ 

問：不，我喜歡這個職業。 
答：那就繼續下去吧，代價還是要付。不過妳為什麼要這麼趕？為什麼沒有時間？ 

問：因為有很多事情要完成，譬如一忙完課前準備，就得照顧學生，又要發表論文等等。 
答：是，還要看很多學生的作業。 

問：師父，您自己本身也很忙… 
答：不，我沒有真的很忙。妳看，我只是坐在這裡講話。我看起來像在忙著做什麼事嗎？（大眾笑） 

問：可是當您很忙時，不知會不會發脾氣？ 
答：我會。我常常發脾氣，即使不忙的時候也會（大眾笑）。不是這麼說！當你很忙的時候，壓力當然會比較大，那是人之常情，好嗎？要原諒自己，儘量保持冷靜。如果做不到的話，那就忠於自己的感受。當你生氣或情緒失控時，手裡可以握住東西或戴個什麼的。 

問：用力握住嗎？ 
答：對，握住！好提醒自己，也可以握緊我的照片或任何東西。妳不妨減少一些不必要的事，比如說妳是教中國文學，那就只選出那些最優良的作品，其他的垃圾文章就不要了，否則會佔去妳所有的時間。妳現在應該分辨得出哪些是好作品，所以可選些較有靈性、能滋養學生心靈的教材。

選擇妳最喜歡的題材來運用，這樣對學生也有好處。他們不需要知道太多中國文學裡面的垃圾。任何文學都有垃圾，所以挑選妳最欣賞的，然後限定在某些主題上，不要什麼都讀。剛開始是不容易，不過慢慢妳就會知道哪些應該選來閱讀。妳自己先找，然後發給學生讀。

要仔細慎選。要是妳不知道，或是有人推薦給妳的話，先上網研究一下，看看哪些是最好、最條理分明、最有益於學生，而妳又最欣賞的。如此妳就不必花很多時間做一些無謂的研究，而能把時間節省下來。

如果妳必須批閱他們的作業，那就看快一點。妳應該去學習速讀，這樣對妳也有幫助，比如只要幾分鐘就能看完一本書。妳可以花一些時間去學速讀，這樣當妳必須看書或是批閱學生作業時，就會有很大的幫助，可以幫妳省下許多時間。除了這些，還有什麼事會佔據妳的時間？ 

問：還有競爭和不安全感。 
答：不，不用跟別人競爭，做妳自己的事就好。如果妳輸了，就接受事實，好嗎？做個有風度的輸家。聽好，妳的問題是妳太想要這個職位了。不要渴望職位，做事要為了樂趣，為了幫助學生吸收知識，為了實現自己的人生而做。工作如果丟了就隨它去吧，忘掉這份工作，因為妳不是為了工作而工作，而是為了以更美好的方式、以妳想要的方式來生活。

妳自己要盡力而為，但不要把工作掛在心上。當我在畫畫的時候，我從沒想過要賣它，我覺得想做就去做，純粹是為了自己而做，就是這樣才成功。要為自己而做，做自己想做的事。如果妳得到這份工作的話，那很好，要是沒得到，還有別的工作可做，不要那麼渴求這份工作。 

問：但是萬一表現不佳怎麼辦？ 
答：不，妳誤會了。妳還是要盡力而為，只是不要牽掛著工作。不要為了得到這個職位而做，而是為了學生的知識、為了自我實現、為了樂趣、興趣而做。忘掉職位的事！如果妳只是為了職位而做，那很抱歉，我覺得妳是自貶身價。所以別為了要得到什麼才做，應該要為了讓學生儘量得到最好的知識而做。將妳最好的知識傳授給他們，同時也能實現自我，因為妳是全心全意在做。做事不是為了競爭，懂嗎？這才是最好的工作方式，不要擔心職位的問題。（大眾鼓掌）

即使是美國總統，妳知道他們花多少時間競選，每年浪費幾百萬美元，只為了執政四年？那些候選人有時甚至花光了所有的錢，卻什麼也沒得到。所以妳的努力也不算什麼，至少妳還有進帳，而他們卻賠本，甚至還不確定當不當得上總統，就得賠掉所有的錢。天啊！他們花那些錢真可惜！（大眾笑）

而妳是在做利益年輕人的好事，妳盡力在做，把妳認為最好的教給他們，這樣才是真正的肯定自己。如果世界給妳這個職位，那很好，是上帝的旨意；如果沒有，妳也知道自己盡力了，那就是最好的報酬。那就是妳的報酬，也是妳在自己心目中的定位，這樣就是最好的教授，不是為了得到工作或是賺更多錢，那樣的話就太貶低自己了。我們是修行人，不考慮那些。

還有，我們永遠都無法確定能不能活到明天，卻想著要這個職位、那個職位的！（大眾笑並鼓掌）多數的壓力都是我們自找的。妳能不能活到明天還說不定，所以不要說：「我要坐在這裡等個五年，拿到教授的職位。」壓力好大喔！

清海無上師以英文講於美國夏威夷 1993.03.27（影帶編號#341）

問：請問為何有時我會覺得非常孤單和難過？為什麼我不能只有快樂而沒有煩惱？
答：那是因為我們還不夠完美。每個人或多或少都曾感到寂寞，有時甚至嚴重到想要自殺的地步。世上的任何東西，或即使給我們整個世界，也都無法滿足我們，因為我們內在知道在來到這個世界之前，在陷入這個迷魂陣、忘記自己的源頭之前，曾經擁有更好的東西。所以我們必須回去我們所歸屬的地方，尋找我們最偉大的寶藏，這樣才能滿足生活中一切所需。屆時我們對肉體的慾望也會減少，即使是世上最美麗的女人，對我們也不再像開悟前那麼具有誘惑力。

開悟就是我們了解自己，知道自己有多完美，我們並不需要和異性或是相反的能量互相結合，因為在我們內邊已經同時擁有陰陽、正負、男女的特質，只要我們調合二者，達到陰陽平衡的境界，那時我們就完美無缺，什麼也不需要，永遠都不覺得孤單。

我可以整天整夜待在房裡，每天這樣，連續好幾個月，就算沒做事或不用出去講經，我也不會覺得孤單。看人越多，我越覺得孤單；而越多獨處的時間，我反而越不會寂寞。因為和大眾在一起時，我的注意力必須向外，這時我的心思、精力、注意焦點全都集中到外面，去照顧別人、聆聽他們的需求，或是感受他們的煩惱、悲傷與孤獨，所以我才會孤獨。因為那時候我忘了那個完美的本我，我沒有時間與祂同一體，和祂有了一點隔開。事實上我從未與祂分開，只是我的意念、焦點和注意力暫時與這個完美快樂的本我隔開，所以才會覺得孤單。當我獨處時，我在本我之中自得其樂，與本我融為一體，一切自足圓滿，所以我自己永不寂寞。這聽起來好像有點矛盾，試試看你就會明白，不過你要先開悟才行。

After Realizing the True Self One
is Never Lonely

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hawaii, USA,
March 27, 1993 (Originally in English) Videotape #341

Q: Please tell me why I sometimes feel very lonesome and sorrowful. Why can’t I be happy and free of worry?

M: It’s because we’re incomplete. Everyone feels lonely now and again or even often, sometimes to the point of suicide because nothing of this world, even the whole kingdom of the Earth, can satisfy us. That’s because we know we had better things before; before we came to this world, before we got entangled in this maze and forgot our Origin. So, we must go back to where we belong and find our greatest treasure, which will satisfy every great and small need in our life. Even our sexual appetite will decrease; even the greatest beauty on Earth won’t have as enticing powers over us as it did before our enlightenment.

Enlightenment is just knowing our Self, knowing how complete we are without having to be combined with the opposite sex or opposite force because inside we have both Yin and Yang. We have positive and negative; we have the feminine and masculine aspects within our Being. If we unite them both, we balance the Yin and Yang and then we’re complete, we’re whole, we need nothing and we never feel lonely.

I can stay the whole day in my room, every day, for many months. Even if I don’t have anything to do and I don’t have to go out to give lectures, I don’t feel lonely! The more people I have to see, the lonelier I feel, and the more alone I am the less lonely I feel. Because when I’m with people, I have to go outward. My tendency has to go out, my energy goes out and my focus goes out: to take care of people, to listen to their needs, to feel one with their troubles, sorrows and loneliness. Then I become lonely because I forget my complete Self, at least for the time being. I have no time to be one with the Self, or I separate a little from it. In fact, I’m never separated from it but my mind, my focus, my attention is separated from this “complete happiness Self” so I’m lonely. But when I’m alone, I’m playing within my Self and merging with my Self and I’m just complete.

So, I’m never lonely, and that’s the paradoxical question for you. Try it and you’ll understand, but become enlightened first, please!

清海無上師以英文講於斯洛維尼亞 流布里雅那1999.05.26（影帶編號#660）

問：是否發生在我們身上的事，都是命定或已安排好的？換句話說，我們現在或未來的命運是否都已注定？命運能夠改變嗎？

答：是的，每個人的命運可以說都已注定好了，這是因為我們沒有足夠的意志力去改變，我們沒有與上帝的恩典溝通，所以才無法改變命運。但是和上帝再度溝通以後，我們就有能力改變命運。因為我們已經不再用頭腦做事，而是用宇宙的力量，這個力量讓任何事都可能實現。所以印心以後，即使是通靈的人也看不準你的手相，算不出你的命，他們看不到任何東西，這是因為你的意識已經提昇到較高的等級，而在這種較高的境界，我們可以看得更清楚，也可以改變許多事物。

我再告訴你們一個祕密：不管現在發生什麼事，在宇宙的倉庫裡也同時發生著許多其他可能的結果。打坐時，我們可以窺見這些不同的結果，甚至挑一個自己想要的，並拒絕不想要的結果。

在上帝的國度裡沒有過去、現在、未來，只有一個連續的時間，所有的事都發生在一起。就像在一個倉庫裡，我們可以有許多選擇！耶穌說過：「在我天父的家中有許多華廈。」因為我們不知道有這些華廈，所以才卡在單獨一個選擇裡，陷在一個很低的意識等級，也就是所謂的「物質華廈」。因此我們才會痛苦，因為我們不知道還有其他的選擇。

認識上帝意謂著擁有通往所有不同華廈的鑰匙，我們可以悠遊於各種選擇之間，生活會變得更充實、更快樂、更滿足。「許多華廈」的意思就是說，許多不同的事件是同時發生的，就像一棟建築物裡可以有很多不同的結構、不同的華廈，許多事可以在裡面同時進行，我們可以選擇這個、拒絕那個，不過只有開悟的人才能掌控這些不同的選擇。這也是為什麼業障可以被清除，因為我們知道它在哪裡，所以可以燒掉或毀掉它。

Fate Can be Changed through Diligent Practice and God’s Grace

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Ljubljana, Slovenia,
May 26, 1999 (Originally in English) Videotape #660

Q:  Is everything that happens to us fate or destiny? In other words, in the present and in future moments, is our fate or destiny already defined? And can it be changed?

M: Yes, fate or destiny is kind of fixed for everyone because we don’t have enough willpower to change it and we don’t have the connection with God’s grace so that we can alter it. But after the re-connection, we can change it. We don’t work with the mind anymore; instead, we work with the universal power, which makes everything possible. So after initiation, even the psychics can’t read your palm, can’t tell your future, can’t see anything because your consciousness is rising to a higher level. And from this higher standpoint, we can see more clearly and alter many things from this higher consciousness.

I’ll tell you another secret as well: Whatever is happening now, there are many other possibilities happening at the same time in the storeroom of the universe. During daily meditation, you can peep into the different possibilities and even pick one for yourself and deny whatever you don’t want to continue.

In the Kingdom of God, there’s no past, no future and no present. There’s only one continuous time, and everything is in one place; it’s like in a storeroom and there are so many choices! Jesus said, “In my Father’s house, there are many mansions,” but because we don’t know these many mansions we’re stuck with only one choice, the very low level of consciousness, which is the physical mansion. So we suffer, not knowing of any other alternatives.

Knowing God means having the key to all these different mansions so that we’re spoiled with choices, and our lives will become more fulfilled, more contented and happier. Many mansions means that many different events are happening at the same time, just like many structures (mansions) can exist within the same house and enclose different things at the same time. So we can choose one event and reject another, but only an enlightened person can have access to all these different choices. And that’s how so-called bad karma can be erased because we know where it is and we can burn or destroy it.

清海無上師以英文講於美國佛州1999.02.15（影帶編號#635下集）

問：我把研究占星術當作消遣。我覺得占星術多少可以分析人的潛能和缺點，不僅限於物質層面，靈性層面也如是。起先我把占星術當作嗜好，但我現在身為一位修行人，不知道是否該把自己看到的告訴別人，也沒把握這對別人是不是真的有幫助；也許只會帶來反效果，而且又給自己添業障。
答：嗯，有時我們會給別人不好的影響。比方說有好事要來臨時，你告訴人家：「哇！你轉運了。天啊！你會中一百萬美金！」對方聽了可能立刻心臟病發作而死。或者壞事要臨頭時，你說：「嗯！你的女朋友會甩掉你，跑去交別的男朋友喔！」那有什麼用？也許藉由他們修行的力量，原本可望重修舊好，有可能改變定命，或者至少讓它延後發生，但因為你那樣說，他們便如此認定，結果決定放棄，落得悲傷的下場。

所以告訴別人未來的事有什麼用？能照顧好今天就夠了。至於過去的事，我們更不用操心。即使你告訴人家：「喔！你前世是個屠夫，所以現在才長得像豬一樣！」（大眾笑）那又算什麼新鮮事呢？他仍然看起來像隻豬，性情也不會因為你說他前世是屠夫而有所改變，所以有什麼新鮮的？

問：可是師父，如果我能分析別人的潛力呢？譬如說靈修方面。
答：你是說替外面的人分析？

問：是的。
答：你想做就做，我不禁止什麼。

問：因為有許多人關心他們的業障。尤其最近我注意到，許多人不僅關心世俗的事，像婚姻或人際關係，也關心未來的修行狀況。
答：如果他們想知道就讓他們知道吧！不過我不知道準不準確。

問：我想是準確的。
答：但事情往往瞬息萬變，一向是這樣！即使連天氣都可能因為一些人或團體的意識，或因為某個人的神通而改變。所以預言會發生的事，未必真的會發生，就算真的會發生，那又怎樣？大家依然我行我素。很多人跑去算命，然後有的高興、有的難過。

所以我認為生活自然就好。通常修觀音法門的人對於即將要發生的事都有直覺，然後做出最正確的判斷。即使當時並不知道怎麼回事，但事後你會發覺︰「噢！我當時那樣做是對的。」

問：對，的確是這樣。
答：有時就算占星術真的很準，如果你把你的想法及做法和占星術相互印證，那樣也不錯。你會覺得自己做對了，不必依賴占星術也一樣可以隨時做對的事。

所以依靠直覺就夠了，這樣你就不用事先算命，事後再印證就好。我們不需要占星術，自己也會做對的事。

問：您是說，就某些方面來說，占星術多少有些幫助？
答：不，不是這個意思，我們根本不需要算命。我們是修行人，不用太擔心過去或未來，我們只是待在這裡等著往生，過一天算一天，順便吃很多糖果和餅乾，因為我們不執著於「不吃」（大眾笑）。我們喜歡做什麼好玩的事，也可以去做。

Following Your Intuition is Better than Following Predictions

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Florida, USA,
February 15, 1999 (Originally in English) Videotape #635b

Q:

I’ve been studying astrology as a hobby and I think to some degree it can help you analyze people’s potentials and shortcomings, not only in a material way but also spiritually. I started it as a hobby, but now I’m not sure as a practitioner if it’s right or not to tell other people what I see. I’m not sure if it really helps them or if on the other hand maybe it’s the opposite and it creates karma for me.


M:Well, sometimes we can influence people in a bad way. For example, if something good is coming and you tell the person, "Your luck is changing. Oh, my God! You’re going to win a million dollars!" That person might have a heart attack right there and die. Or if something bad is coming and you say, "Your girlfriend is going to kick you out and get another boyfriend." What is the use of that? Because maybe they can make up with each other due to their spiritual strength; it’s possible they could alter destiny or at least postpone it. But because you say that, they fixate on it. Then they give up and are miserable.

So what is the point of telling people their future? It’s good enough to take care of today! And the past we don’t even care to think about. Even if you tell someone, "Before, in your last life, you were a butcher. That’s why you look like a pig right now." (Laughter) So what’s new? He still looks like a pig, and his temper won’t change just because you told him that he was a butcher in his last life. So, what’s new in the universe?

Q:But Master, what if I can analyze people’s potential, say, in a spiritual way?
M:Do you mean outside people?

Q:Yes.
M:Do what you like; nothing is forbidden, OK?

Q:It’s just that many people are concerned about their karma. Especially recently I notice that many people are not just concerned about worldly things like marriage or relationships but also about their future in terms of spiritual practice.
M:If they want it, you can let them know, but I don’t know if it will be accurate or not.

Q: I think it is.
M:But things can always change, always! Even the weather can change according to some person’s consciousness or the group consciousness or someone’s magical touch. So it doesn’t matter if we predict that something will happen; it might not happen. Or it might happen, but so what? People still do what they do. A lot of people go to fortune tellers and become sad or happy accordingly.

So I think you should just live naturally. Most of the time if you practice the Quan Yin Method you have an intuition about what is going to happen and you just do the most correct thing. Even if you do not know it at the time, later you discover, "Oh! I did that and it was right."

Q:Yes. That’s true.
M:And so sometimes even though the astrology is really correct, if you’ve already matched your thinking and doing with the astrology, it’s also good. You can feel that it is correct. You don’t have to read the astrology; you just do the correct thing all the time.

So your intuition is enough. That way, you don’t read beforehand; you read afterwards to confirm. We do not need astrology. We can do the right thing ourselves.

Q:Do you mean that in some sense astrology can be helpful?
M:No, it’s not. There is no need for it! We are practitioners; we don’t worry much about tomorrow or yesterday. We’re just hanging in there waiting to die; we’re just hanging on. Meanwhile, we eat a lot of candy and cake because we’re not attached to not eating. (Laughter) And we can do what we like for fun.

修行才是究竟的濟世之道

清海無上師以英文講於美國紐約 1999.08.04
（影帶編號#664）

問：我想知道除了打坐以外，是否還有其他方法可以讓世界更好？畢竟我們是住在這裡，大家都很關心這個地球。

答：很好！你的關懷令人感動，聯合國人員也應該像你一樣才是，我不知道他們是否都這樣關心，但是你能關心是很好的！

問題是我們能怎麼辦？我已經儘量在做了，但我年紀大了（大眾笑），聲音也變小了，沒有多少人聽得進去。沒關係，我們一步一步來。也許你可以多辦幾場演講活動，提昇人類的意識等級，做多少算多少。這樣暫時會有效，不過一陣子之後，大家的熱誠、注意力以及對災難的恐懼又會慢慢減退，到時又要從頭開始，所以我們老是要一直重複。

最重要的是各國的領導人應該一起參與，他們應該要支持修行。可惜世界上多數的學校和政府只注重追求權力、物質的享受與資源分配，但即使連這些他們也做不好！有的國家太窮，有的國家太富有；有的國家擁有的太少，有的國家擁有的太多。即使是物質的東西，也分配不好。

大家如果更注重靈修的話，物質方面也會有幫助。如此一來，每個人內邊會更清楚，做事更自然，根本不用我們教他們怎麼做。但是大多數政治系統只強調執法及物質需求，或是只重視數據，這些多半都是物質層面的東西。像我們這種小團體，像你我或是其他個人想要盡一份心力的時候，會感覺好像很渺小。如果各國政府能了解靈修的利益，我們就可以做得更好，這才是真正的治國之道，政府應該也要重視靈修才對。

問：也就是說，當他們在處理世界的問題時，靈性方面也應該一併考慮。

答：沒錯，因為多半問題的根源都出在靈性方面。那些政府人員其實是很努力也很盡力，但是他們光只把水澆到葉子而已，這樣是有點用，不過往根部澆水才是最重要、最有效率的方法。所以請你們回去告訴所有總統說：「喂！起來做些有用的事，去打坐吧！」

自古以來，我們都是卡在這裡，但起碼有像你、我這樣的人在努力，做真正的貢獻，否則情況會更糟糕。如果我們沒有精進修行讓自己成長茁壯，這個世界不會有這麼多福報，也許地球幾年前就消失了，也許戰爭會不斷擴大，演變成世界大戰，這些都有可能。

Spiritual Practice is the Ultimate Way
to Care for the Planet

Q: I'm just wondering if there is something more we can do apart from meditation to make the world a better place. After all, we do live here and we all care for the planet.

M: That’s right. I’m very touched that you care. The United Nations members should care like that. I don't know if all of them care, but it's nice that you do.

So what can we do? I’ve been doing my best, but I’m getting old (laughter) and my voice is feeble; not too many people hear it. It's OK; we just do one thing at a time. Maybe you can give more lectures and raise the consciousness of people on this planet. Well, you can only do so much. It helps for a while, but then people’s enthusiasm, attention and fear of disaster die down and things start all over again and we have to do it again and again.

The thing is that the leaders of many nations should join in. They should also support spiritual practice, but most of the schools and governmental systems on this planet are all about control, material comfort and distribution. And they're not even doing a good job at that! Many countries are too poor and many countries are too rich; many countries have too little while many countries have too much and so on. So, even the material things are not being distributed well.

But it could be helped if people were more spiritual. Then everyone would be aware from within and would do things more naturally so we wouldn't even have to tell anyone what to do. But most political systems only emphasize law enforcement, material needs or the mathematics of things, and these are mostly about the physical aspects. So when our small group or others such as me or you or any of us individually make an effort, we just feel like a minority on this planet. But if the governments of all the nations knew the benefits of spiritual power, we would all do much better. That’s normally what governing means; so this should also be emphasized.

Q :When they’re looking at the problems of the world, the spiritual part should be integrated.

M: Yes, because the spiritual part is the root of most of the problems. The governments are trying hard. They’re doing their best, but they’re watering the plants on the leaves. That helps a little, but watering at the root is the most important and most efficient way of doing things. So you can go around and tell all the presidents, "Hey, get up! Do something: Meditate!"

Since ancient times, we have been stuck with this. But at least individuals like you and me and some others are making an effort; we are doing something. And it is helping; otherwise it could have been worse. If we hadn't been going strong with our spiritual practice our world would have had less blessing. Maybe our planet would have already disappeared a few years ago. Or the war could have kept going on a grander scale and become a world war. It can happen.

只要放下肉食，就足以拯救世界

清海無上師以英文講於美國加州柏克萊大學1989.10.13（影帶編號#101）

如果我們不吃肉，沒人會殺生，沒有人會養牲口，所有食物都可供人們取食，使人人更健康強壯，這樣對每一個國家都有利，對我們自己國家也很好。我們浪費許多金錢在武器及畜養動物上，當今許多可耕種的土地都被浪費在養牛養豬等方面，如果我們用這些土地去種植有益健康的食物，我認為國家將更受益、更和平，那就不需要武器防備了！如果各國人民都遵照聖經、遵照佛教的教誨來生活，不殺生、不偷盜等等，那麼世界就不必再召開和平會議，浪費那麼多的咖啡、香檳、餅乾在圓桌會議上，卻毫無結果。我們越討論和平，戰爭就越多，這是因為我們的作法不對，如果大家都練習打坐，吃不殺生的健康素食，這世界早就和平了，而且我們也早就沒有饑荒的問題。所以，不必布施你們的財產，只要放下肉食，就足以拯救世界，確保自己和國家的安康。♥

尊重眾生，我們也受加持

清海無上師以英文講於巴拿馬記者之家 1989.11.29（影帶編號#106）

我們應當尊重所有由上帝計畫所創造出來的生命。我們自己可以看出來，所有的生物都會抗拒痛苦和死亡。所以當我們殺動物或是看到動物被殺時，可以觀察到牠們很痛苦、想要逃生，那就表示上帝賦予牠們求生的本能。所以，如果我們擾亂或是奪取牠們的生命，我們就妨礙了上帝的旨意。因此，我們希望別人怎樣對待我們，我們就應該怎樣對待所有眾生，這樣我們的生命才會備受加持，得到恩澤、長壽和智慧。♥

飲食應具備高等眾生的風範

清海無上師以英文講於美國加州聖塔克拉拉 1989.11.29（影帶編號#101A）

我們應該吃第一手的食物比較高雅，因為我們是最高等的眾生，何必去吃動物的第二手食物？你們拿榖物去餵雞，然後把雞給吃了，重新再消化一次。你們拿紅蘿蔔、蔬菜餵兔子，然後又把兔子吃掉，為什麼不自己吃蔬菜和榖物就好？吃第一流的，也最新鮮呀！吃肉太浪費時間了。既浪費能源，又浪費國家的財富，又會引起世界饑荒。♥

Saving the World by 
Giving up the Meat-based Diet

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Berkeley University, California, U.S.A. October 13, 1989 (Originally in English) Videotape #101

If we did not eat meat, no one would kill, no one would raise cattle, all the food would stay where it was and they could eat it and become healthy and strong. It'd be good for every nation, and it'd be good for our nation as well. We waste a lot of money on arms and on raising animals. Most of the arable land is wasted nowadays on raising cattle, pigs and the like. So if we used these areas to cultivate wholesome, healthy food I think the nations would benefit more and our nation would have more peace and no need for armed defense.

If every nation lived according to the Bible, according to the Buddhist teachings, “Thou shall not kill, Thou shall not steal,” and so on, the world would have no more need for peace conferences, and would not need to waste so much coffee, champagne and cake at round table discussions that go nowhere. The more we talk about peace, the more war we have because we go about it in an inconsistent manner. If everyone practiced meditation and ate a wholesome diet without any killing involved, the world would have long since been in a peaceful state and we'd have no hunger. There is no need to give away your property; just give up the meat-based diet. That would be enough to save the world, as well as your own and the nation's health. ♥

Respect all Life and 
Your Life will be Blessed

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, House of Journalism, Panama, November 29, 1989 (Originally in English) Videotape #106

We should respect all life that’s in the creative plan of God. We can see for ourselves that all life resists suffering, resists death. If we kill or see an animal killed we notice that they suffer and try to run away, meaning that God empowers them with the instinct to want to live. So if we interfere and take their life away, we interfere with God's will. Thus, we should treat every being as we ourselves would like to be treated. Then our lives will be blessed with grace, longevity and wisdom. ♥

We Should Eat Like 
the First Class Beings We Are

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Santa Clara, CA, USA, October 14, 1989 
(Originally in English) Videotape #101A

It's nobler for us to eat first-hand things because we’re first class! Why do we have to eat secondhand from animals? You give grain to a chicken and then eat the chicken and re-digest it! And then you feed carrots and vegetables to a rabbit and eat the rabbit. Why don't you just eat the vegetables and grains yourself? That is first class and fresh! It is a waste of time to eat animal meat. It is a waste of energy and the national treasury and it causes world hunger. ♥

事實上，我們可以活得更好！

清海無上師以英文開示於新加坡共修會 1994.09.28（影帶編號#446）

即使到現在，仍然有很多疾病奪走了人們的生命，每年大約有一千八百萬人死於不同的疾病。這都是因為我們沒能小心地保護上帝所賜的寶貴身體。上帝賜給我們這個身體，是為了要讓我們在地球上完成某種使命，也是為了要讓我們了悟自己萬能的力量。結果我們抽菸過多、飲酒過量，又吃太多肉，把肉中所有的細菌引進我們的體內等等，所有這些致命的因素，讓我們的生活過得很悲慘。

事實上，如果我們生活能更有規律，並且多愛惜自己的身體，我們就可以活得更好。我們若只吃能提供營養給身體的食物，不只是為口味而吃，並且吃得適量的話，這樣子當然就不會危害到我們的健康。你們知道大多數的人吃素以後都變得更健康，是不是這樣？（大眾答：是）你們大多數在印心和吃素後都變得更健康，是不是這樣呢？（大眾答：是）事實上醫院裡滿滿都是吃肉的人（大眾笑），這就是無庸置疑的證明了。

不只是因為素食本身有益健康，也因為蔬果的振動力對我們的身體很友好，而動物的振動力就不那麼和諧、和平了。事實上，要過簡單健康的生活很容易，我們並不需要吃這麼多的藥和打針。很多人把有毒的物質帶進體內，所以才會傷害自己；若是知道如何過一個簡單、營養、健康的生活的話，我們真的不怎麼需要醫生，然後醫生們就能有更多的假日，這樣醫生和我們都能保持健康。 ♥
