從愛心出發

看放大圖

現在我們每個人必須多打坐，以淨化地球的氣氛，並提昇地球上的人類與眾生，如此才能減少苦難，讓人們更開悟、更平安、更良善，並使人人獲益，這對目前來講很重要，更甚於以往。

揭露偉大的太陽和宇宙的奧秘 編號：913（2片裝） 日期：2010.10.03 地點：美國加州洛杉磯 性質：視訊會議 用語：英文

字幕：英、簡體中文、正體中文、悠樂、韓、日、蒙古、印尼、馬來西亞、泰、印度、旁遮普、波斯、阿拉伯、俄、波蘭、保加利亞、匈牙利、克羅埃西亞、捷克、德、法、義、西班牙、葡 (25種)

我一直祈求，看能再做什麼來進一步提昇人類。也許因此太陽聽到了，所以宇宙才允許我把它公諸於世。我迫不及待想要透露！因為越快越好。

太陽照耀我們賴以為生的整個地球，並賜予眾生生命，包括植物、礦物、動物等等。太陽也帶給人們快樂及自在的感覺。太陽對地球上所有眾生都是不可或缺的。太陽有莫大的利益，能治癒許多疾病。祂照耀並利益一切眾生，不管他們是好是壞。太陽是很美麗的眾生，我永遠愛太陽。我好愛太陽，太陽也永遠愛我們。

我喜歡太陽、熱愛太陽，我可以整天待在太陽下。如果太熱，我就稍微用布遮一下；布可以調節、擋掉一些陽光，這樣眼睛才不會受傷。

你可以在一大清早太陽剛升起時，凝視太陽10分鐘左右，還有在傍晚日落時，凝視太陽大約10分鐘左右……或更久，不要少於10分鐘--有些人這樣做，他們就不用吃東西。至於健康的益處，你們已經知道了，我告訴過你們了。晒太陽能治癒很多疾病，能治好心理偏差和憂鬱症等等。那些陽光較少的國家，比起陽光充足的國家，人們比較不快樂。

如果你坐在太陽下打坐，對靈性的提昇非常、非常有利，可以增加幾十萬點或幾百萬點的靈性點數，如果你很專心，如果你值得的話。是的，我說過，早上10點到下午3點是最佳的打坐時段，為什麼呢？因為陽光最強。

當你在太陽下打坐，打坐的功德會倍增，連不修觀音法門的人，就算只是修禪之類的，也一樣有利益。修觀音法門的人獲得太陽的利益最大，其他修行人也獲益很多，不過不如觀音法門多。我不知道為什麼，這是我查到的結果，他們告訴我的，所以我才知道。比方說，持純素的觀音法門修行人，如果修行很好又入定的話，就算等級只是第3界，在太陽下打坐1小時也能賺3千萬點。不過要遮一下，或坐在蔭涼的地方，靠近陽光，光能照進來就好了，不要整天坐在太陽下，這樣會晒傷，而且可能會得癌症等等，不好。

如果太陽照進來，你就坐在附近，在那道光線或那片光裡面。或是直接在太陽下坐一會兒，然後就回到蔭涼處；或在太陽底下，利用像涼棚、窗戶的遮陽棚來遮蔭，這樣也可以。不一定要在一天最熱的時候直接坐在太陽下，那對你不好。

光和音的修行人如果在太陽下打坐，能獲得很大的利益；或坐在陽光附近，或在棚子下，甚至只是坐在房子裡有陽光照進來的地方，也有利益，不過比較少。只要坐在太陽下，或陽光照射進來的地方，或太陽照得到你的地方；甚至太熱的時候，在棚子下面，或在帳篷裡面，或蓋一條薄的白布或任何布，依熱度多強而定，那樣就行了。你也可以坐在陽光充足的陽台上，用布遮一下。

其他任何光和音的修行人，不一定是我們團體的，如果遵循這些原則，都會獲益良多。我告訴你們這些，好讓外面那些跟其他師父、老師修觀音法門的人也能獲益。就連其他教光和音法門的老師或師父，如果他們坐在太陽下或靠近陽光的地方，也能獲得很大利益；如果太熱，當然要遮一下。別去印度晒太陽，真的非常熱。我告訴你們，比方說，即使不是光和音的修行人，如果只是坐在太陽下唸聖號或佛號，也能獲得幾百萬點。我講這些也是要告訴各宗派、修各種法門的人，以便他們能獲得更多利益。

清海無上師以英文講於法國國際聚會 2009.02.08

愛是很珍貴的，因為如果我們有愛，就能做對許多事--因為愛是開悟的泉源。當我們心中有愛，我們會很明白，我們做每件事都沒有私心，所以就會做對的事。只要你無私，你做的每件事都會對，因為不懷任何目的。當你無私時，表示說你那時的我執也最小，那麼神聖的力量就可以很容易操控你的方向。唯一的問題在於，我們並未與自己強大的靈感與奇蹟的神聖泉源密切溝通。

Love Is the Source of Enlightenment

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai
at International gathering in France,
February 8, 2009 (Originally in English)

Love is very precious because if we have love, we can do many things right – because love is the source of enlightenment. When we have love in our heart, we’re all clear, we do everything selflessly, and it will be correct. As long as you’re selfless, everything you do is correct, because there is no motive. When you are selfless, that means the ego is the least at that time; then the divine power can maneuver your direction very easily. The only problem with us is that we are not very connected with our divine source of powerful inspiration and miracle.

http://www.godsdirectcontact.org.tw/eng/news/207/   Pearls of Wisdom

清海無上師以中文講於國際聚會 2009.10.11

問：請教師父，我們應該如何保有師父給我們的愛與加持，然後去幫助別人？

答：我們應該打坐，真的是這樣！我們的概念要改，要把重點放在打坐上。一定要打坐！任何不重要的事情要放下來才行，不能說「行住坐臥都是禪」。「行住坐臥都是禪」是指你一個人在山上，沒人煩你，你不用擔心生存的問題，不用跟誰交往。在這邊，你如果要幫助別人的話，一天要打坐最少4個小時，不是2個半小時而已。打坐2個半小時，只夠給自己用，分給別人一點點而已。 如果要幫助別人或是要在師父旁邊幫助，最少要打坐4個小時。

答案很簡單：打坐很重要，你那個問題一定要打坐就對了，絕對要打坐！不是說因為師父講，而是因為你不打坐的話，你的精神會死、身體會累，真的是這樣，我不開玩笑！從今天起一定要知道這一點。

我們真的要用功打坐，什麼時候能夠打坐就要打坐，5分鐘也好、2分鐘也要集中；工作的時候能念那個保護的聖句就要念，隨時都要保護自己。不然我們在這個世界，污染程度太高了，破壞力很強，我們隨時都會被傷害的，即使我們吃素、善良，還是被影響。所以只有打坐、念聖號、注意力集中，才能夠保護自己。特別這個時候考驗很多，世界如果沒轉變的話，就快末日了，所以我們要儘量打坐。

真的，為了幫助世界，我才不得已讓你們出去工作，不然的話，如果沒有世界末日的問題，我會勸你們隨時都打坐。因為我們如果打坐不夠，也不能幫助世界。師父旁邊的人如果打坐不夠，要幫師父忙也是很難。他不幫忙，就是賴在那邊給你做而已；他佔你的空間、佔你的時間，抓你的注意力，讓你無法集中精神。打坐不夠就會這樣，即使我們想要幫忙，也幫不了忙。所以要幫助別人的話，要先打坐4個小時，看你幫助多少而定。

住這邊的人天天替師父工作，替師父工作越多，越要多打坐，最少4個小時。你們的話，2個半小時、3個半小時是OK，看什麼時候幫助多，那天就要多打坐。隨時要多打坐就對了，存下來，萬一缺的時候就可以用。

We Have to Meditate More to Help Others

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai 
at an international gathering on October 11, 2009 (Originally in Chinese)

Q. Master, please tell us how to keep the love and blessing that You give us in order to help others?

A. We have to meditate; it is really like that! We have to change our concept and put our focus on meditation. We must meditate! We have to put aside any matters that are not important. We cannot say, “Everything we do in daily life is meditation.” This is only possible when you are all alone in the mountains, with no one bothering you, no need to worry about survival and not having to interact with anyone. While here, if you wish to help anyone, you must meditate for at least four hours each day, not just two-and-a-half hours. Meditating for two-and-a-half hours is only sufficient for yourself, and sharing a little bit with others. If you want to help others or want to help by my side, you have to meditate at least four hours.

So the answer to your question is very simple: just meditate. Meditation is very important. You absolutely need to meditate. It is not because I tell you so; it is because if you don’t meditate, you would be spiritually dead and your body would be exhausted. This is really true. I am not joking! You must realize this point from today onwards.

We really must meditate diligently; meditate whenever we can, even just for five minutes is good. Even if just for two minutes, we still have to concentrate. When working, recite the protective Holy Names whenever we can to protect ourselves at all times. Otherwise, we are in a world that is full of heavy pollution and very strong destructive power; we could be harmed at anytime. Even though we are vegetarians and benevolent, we can still be affected. Therefore, we can only protect ourselves by meditation, chanting the Holy Names, and being focused in the mind. Especially at this time, there are numerous trials. If the world does not change, the end will come very soon. So we must meditate as much as we can.

Truly, it is only for helping the world that I let you to go out to work. Otherwise, if there were no such problem as the end of the world, I would have advised you to meditate all the time, because if we do not meditate enough, we cannot help the world either. If the people around me do not meditate enough, it is very difficult for them to help me. They are not helping; they just idle there and let you do the work. They occupy your space and time, and drain your attention so that you cannot focus your mind. This happens if we do not meditate enough. We cannot help even if we want to. So, if you want to help others, first meditate for four hours, depending on how much you want to help.

For the people living here, working for me every day, the more they do my work, the more they need to meditate. At least four hours. In your case, two-and-a-half hours to three-and-a-half hours is okay. Anytime you want to help more, you need to meditate more on that day. Simply meditate diligently at all times and save it up for use in case you are in need due to shortage.   

Spiritual Tips

問：師父，您曾經多次談到火星過去和地球的相似之處。火星曾因為它的居民的緣故而發生氣候變遷，就像我們地球一樣，這是真的嗎？火星人有機會拯救他們的星球嗎？

答： 他們有機會。以地球的時間來算，他們大約廿年前就已收到警告，最後一次收到緊急警告是在毀滅發生前五年。他們在事發前有五年的時間，但他們改變得不夠快。他們沒有改變，所以沒有機會拯救火星。他們是有機會，但他們不做。

問：師父，為什麼會那樣？

答： 他們之所以改變得不夠快，是因為他們不知道素食能扭轉情況。那時沒有足夠的人站出來宣導火星的緊急情況，以及諸如素食這類解決之道，像我們現在做的這樣。

問：師父，那我們地球的情況呢？人們知道有這樣的機會嗎？

答： 有些人不知道該怎麼辦。當然，有些人知道怎麼做，因為我們告訴他們，或聯合國、科學家告訴他們，但他們仍未改變習慣。所以，如果我們繼續因循舊習而不改，那麼地球將會毀滅，就像火星被毀滅一樣。

A Chance to Shape Our Future

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, 
Videoconference with Supreme Master TV staff, Los Angeles, California, USA,
July 31, 2008 (Originally in English)

 

問: 師父，可否請您談談您編寫《真愛奇遇--我的鳥羽兄弟》這本書的主要目的？

答: 第一，就是要跟所有的有緣讀者分享我們世界上美麗的朋友們，像小鳥就是其中之一，因為他們真的很漂亮，靈魂也非常、非常美麗，而且非常聰明，他們的感情很深，跟我們沒有差別，所以想讓大家一起欣賞。第二，就是也許我們透過這些小鳥朋友，可以多了解一些別的眾生。只有這兩個目的而已。

問: 這本書要傳達給讀者與大眾什麼樣的訊息？

答: 就是希望人類多了解動物的世界，對他們更有同伴的感覺，更加照顧他們，彼此多互相了解。目前有些人不了解動物，認為動物比較笨、比較不懂事，其實他們真的很聰明，靈性很高。

記者: 師父您好，我想請問您是用什麼方式去治療動物憂鬱症，可不可以為我們說明一下？

答: 就是跟對待家人、朋友一樣，用這種愛心、用朋友之情互相了解，這樣他們不會不快樂的。我天天問我的鳥兒：「你快樂嗎？」他們都說：「是！好快樂！」（師父笑）他們都很高興。

Q. Master! Will You please talk about Your main objective of writing “The Birds in My Life”?

M. Firstly, to all readers with affinity I wish to introduce the magnificent animal friends of our world. One of them is the birds, which are really beautiful, and their souls are also very, very beautiful. As well, they are highly intelligent and have deep feelings, just like us. Therefore, I hope everyone can appreciate them. Secondly, perhaps through these little bird friends, we can understand more about other sentient beings.

Q. What is the message that this book intends to convey to the readers and the general public?

M. We hope that humans will understand more about the world of animals, and will treat them as partners, take better care of them, and try to understand each other. At present, some people do not understand the animals; they think animals are stupid and unintelligent. In fact they are very clever and intelligent.

Reporter: Hallo! Master! May I know in what way can symptoms of depression be healed in animals? Will You please explain to us?

Master: Just treat them as your family and friends. Understand each other through love and friendship, and they won't feel unhappy. Every day I ask my birds: “Are you happy?” They always reply: “Yes, very happy!” ( Laughs ) They are all very happy.

問：現代科技已十分發達，甚至可以複製人類；有人說這是科學高度發展，也有人認為這會造成世界末日。您的看法如何？ 答：在發展科技的同時，我們的靈性也要提昇，否則會失衡，而有自我毀滅的危險。這樣很可能就是世界末日，這是理所當然的！如果我們沒有道德力量和靈性智慧，不知道如何當個好人，卻只是製造各種假人來胡作非為，例如利用他們來發動戰爭，因為這些假人不懂得貪生畏死，也不了解任何道德標準，因此他們可以任意殺人，這樣我們的世界當然會毀滅。科技發展如果沒有受到靈性智慧和力量的控制，就如同小孩手裡拿著刀，他可能會殺了自己，或殺害其他小孩和大人。

Vegetarianism: Compassionate Respect for the Oneness of All Life

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Dublin, Ireland, 
June 7, 1999, (Originally in English) DVD #656

Spiritual Focus Is the Best Agent for Attitude Change

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Malaga, Spain, 
October 1, 2006, (Originally in English)

清海無上師以英文講於西班牙馬拉加國際禪四 2006.10.01

問：師父，昨天早上您告訴我們為何要多謙卑並去除我執，這些我都了解了。您是否能再指引一些訣竅，好讓我們可以確實做到。比如說我們在世上工作，所處的情況一直讓我們的我執冒出來，那該如何克制呢？

清海無上師以英文講於德國杜塞道夫杜易斯堡 2007.01.02

你們應該要多做觀音，我注意到你們多數都只坐在那邊做很多觀光，而沒有做觀音。觀音會讓你們更舒服，甚至使身體減少病痛。因為當你往內讓音流注滿全身時，你的能量就會循環更新。你們大部分的能量都從身體外部器官漏掉了，但是當你做觀音的姿勢時，能量就會循環更新；那時你將全部能量收攝往內，而沒有浪費太多到外面。所以盤腿的其中一個原因就是為了保存能量，真的如是。

如果你們懂一些白神通的話，那些人即使不是修瑜伽什麼的，也一樣會建議你們做這類的事。那些會白神通的人保護自己的方法之一就是：當他們感覺到或看到坐在前面的人發出不好的氣氛或能量時，他們就會儘可能盤起腿來並雙手抱胸。所以事實上，這也是一種自然反應。當我們不想與別人交談，或想要防衛自己時，也會把雙臂交叉在胸前，像是把自己封閉起來。而當我們心情愉快，衷心想要歡迎別人時，就會敞開胸懷、張開雙臂，做出不加防備的姿勢。不過當我們感到厭煩或是不喜歡某人，就會想要雙手抱胸，好像自然就會這樣。

所以即使你們不知道為什麼要盤腿，盤腿仍然對你們有益，而觀音甚至保存了更多的能量，對你們的身心各方面也都有好處。不過假如你累了，當然可以稍微伸伸腿，只要你能打坐很好、能入定，就沒關係，姿勢不是真的那麼重要。只是從身體方面來說，觀音有助於保存身體的能量，幫助你保持更佳狀態、更健康。在清晨或是觀音後，如果你照鏡子，會看到自己的皮膚潔淨紅潤、眼睛發亮。

如果你做一會兒觀音，然後再照鏡子，就會看到自己的皮膚好像煥然一新，你會感覺不一樣，看起來不一樣，看起來光亮滑潤。做觀音一段時間之後，你會容光煥發，做觀光之後也一樣，不過做觀音更明顯。任何時候你做了觀音以後，如果你碰巧去浴室照到鏡子，就會發現自己看起來不一樣，皮膚細嫩、煥然一新，臉色紅潤有光澤，就算以前你的皮膚並不紅潤也一樣，而且你的雙眼閃耀著光采！總之，這些技巧的確有幫助，可以讓你們青春長駐。

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

You ought to do more Quan Yin. I observe that most of you just sit there and do a lot of Light, and don’t do the Sound. The Sound will make you more comfortable and with less sickness, even physically. When you feed it back to your body, it recycles your energy. Most of the energy is lost through the outer apparatus. When you sit in the Quan Yin position, you recycle it. You withdraw all the energy within and not too much is wasted outside. So one of the reasons to cross the legs is to preserve the energy, really.

If you know something about white magic, they will advise you to do something like that, too, even if they are not a yogi or anything. One protection white magicians use is that when they sense or when they see some bad aura or energy from other people who sit in front of them, they cross their legs and maybe cross their hands as well, if they can. So, actually it is natural also when you don’t feel like talking or when you feel defensive, that you cross your arms, too. It’s a kind of closing in. And when you feel lovely, when you want to greet someone with your heart, you just open your arms in a gesture of defenselessness, openly. But when you feel bored or you don’t like the person, you tend to just cross your arms. It seems to be that way.

So even though you don’t know why you cross your legs, it’s still good. And Quan Yin conserves the energy even more. It’s good for you also - physically, psychically, everything. But if you are tired, of course you can stretch your legs a little bit. As long as you can meditate well and enter samadhi, it’s fine. Position is not really that important. Just physically speaking, it helps to also preserve the physical energy. And it helps you stay more well and more healthy. In the morning, or after the Quan Yin meditation, if you look into the mirror, you will see yourself with very clean pinkish skin and bright eyes.

When you do Quan Yin for a while, and then you go look in the mirror, it looks like your skin has renewed itself. You feel different and you look different. You look bright and smooth; you’re glowing after some time of Quan Yin - Quan Quang also, but Quan Yin is more obvious. Whenever you meditate alone with Quan Yin, then if you happen to go into the bathroom and have a look, you look different. Your skin looks new, more tender and you glow with pink, even if you never had pink color before. And your eyes sparkle! Anyway, these are some techniques that really do help; they help you stay young.

With deep compassion for animals and concerned about repeated outbreaks of epidemic diseases among animals and humans, Master has offered the world a fundamental solution to the problem by personally designing a friendly but convincing leaflet entitled “Alternative Living” to remind people to choose the vegetarian diet and stop killing in order to overcome global medical crises and save our fellow beings. Master has also instructed all initiates to share this message with their brothers and sisters in every corner of the world. In response, the practitioners have initiated an all-out effort to share Her words of love.

問: 基督徒相信世界末日就要來臨了，可否請您做個評論？

答: 那有可能是不好的世界即將結束，而黃金時代即將開始，你認為呢？如果你還沒準備好，不論是結束或開始，對你都無所謂；如果你一直因循守舊，那就沒什麼差別。所以要想辦法「更新」自己，結束自己舊的世界。我目前所能預測的就是：我的世界已經結束，並展開了另一個新世界。我們隨時都可以結束這個世界，換一個新的，而不是等到世界末日來臨。你可以把它結束，變自己為主人，好嗎？如果沒有這樣，那就只好讓世界來結束你。有可能明天你就會死 去，那就是你的世界末日。我不是占星家，也不是預言家會未卜先知，但我可以用邏輯的方式來預測事情。

～清海無上師以英文講於尼泊爾加德滿都 2000.05.01（DVD#689）

問: 有人說西元2000年時整個世界會毀滅，（師父：是的）您有何看法？

答: 西元2000年之前，我在倫敦就說過了，什麼都不會發生，我還會在，而我現在還是好好的！我已經這麼說過了，當時是5月還是什麼時候，也有人問同樣有關2000年的問題，我說：「沒問題，不用恐慌，不會有事的！」結果真的沒事，我們還在這兒，感謝上帝！只因為幾百年前的一些預言，大家看了之後就開始擔心世界末日。當然，世界有可能會毀滅，但因為有這麼多人修行--這麼多團體、這麼多人祈禱，而且我們也將靈性的訊息傳播到世界每個角落，這些靈性能量在某種程度上幫忙中和了世界的否定氣氛，因此我們才會沒事。所以我邀請你們加入修行的行列，讓世界在未來成為更美好的天堂。

～清海無上師以英文講於澳洲布里斯本 1993.03.21（影帶編號#337）

近年來，由於有幾百萬、幾千萬、無數的人修行這個光與音的法門，所以世界已經好多了；世界各國的政治衝突已經減少，而人們對世界末日，或至少對世界大戰的恐懼也減輕了。我們可以鬆一口氣，來重建以前曾被破壞的地方。也許此刻看起來有點混亂，但這只是過渡階段，就好比拆掉房屋以後，暫時會顯得很凌亂，但是我們會將它清理乾淨，然後再蓋一幢新的房子。就像每次你搬家或大肆整理你的住家環境時，剛開始會一團糟，看起來又凌亂、又骯髒，但這只是過渡時期。我深信如果我們大家都能在人世間行上帝之道，我們就不用到別處去尋找天堂。 

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

Q: The Christians believe that the end of the world is coming. Can you comment on this, please?

M: It might be the end of the bad world, and beginning of the Golden Age. How about that? If you're not ready for it, then it doesn't matter if it ends or it begins. It makes no difference, if you are always the old self. So make yourself new; end your old world. That's what I can predict for now: my world has ended and I begin a new one. We can always end the world and make a new one. Don't wait for the world to end! You end it; you become a master, OK? If you're not, then the world will end you. Maybe you might die tomorrow, and that's the end of your world! I'm not an astrologer or a prophet making prophesy, but I can predict things in a logical way

~ Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Kathmandu, Nepal, May 1, 2000 
(Originally in English) DVD #689

Q: And someone said that in the year 2000 the whole world will be finished. (Master: Yes.) What do You say about that?

M: I already said in London, before the year 2000, that nothing will happen and that I will still be around. And I am still around! That's what I said. It was in May or something. People ask the same question about the year 2000. I say, “No problem! Don't panic! It's no problem.” And it is no problem - we're still here, thank God! Just because of some predictions a few hundred years ago, people read those predictions and worry about the end of the world. Of course, it might have ended. But because so many people practice spiritually - so many groups, so many prayers, and we also spread our spiritual message to every corner of the world - this spiritual energy helps to neutralize the negative atmosphere of the world to some degree. So we are OK. And we invite you to join and make the world become even a better Heaven in the future.

~ Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Brisbane, Australia, March 21, 1993
(Originally in English) Videotape #337

In recent years, thousands, millions, even trillions of people are practicing the Light and Sound method, so the world has become better. Our world's political conflict has diminished in all the nations, and the people have less fear about the end of the world, or at least about a world war. We can heave a sigh and relax, to rebuild where there is ruin. It might look a little bit chaotic at the moment, but this is just the way it looks after pulling the entire house down; it is messy for the time being. But we will clean it, and we'll make a new house. Whenever you move house or you make some drastic change in your environment, it looks messy at first. It looks very untidy, and unclean, but that is only the changing interim period. I am sure if all of us walk God-like on Earth, we do not need to seek paradise elsewhere. 

靈氣和光不一樣，靈氣有不同的顏色，有時候是黑色，有時候是咖啡色、黃色或紅色，依人們當時的身、心、情緒狀態而定。但是當你看到一個人的靈光很強時，你就知道那是與眾不同的。  ~清海無上師以英文講於美國紐約聯合國1992.06.26（DVD#260）

開悟的人周圍有很強的光，這與靈氣不同。每個人都有靈氣，但是開悟者身上的強光不一樣，它更大、更清楚又很明亮。 ~清海無上師以英文講於德國慕尼黑1993.05.01（影帶編號#366）

圍繞在佛陀和耶穌周圍的光叫做光環，那是開悟者的磁場。越開悟的人，周圍的光也會越亮。但只有當你打開智慧眼之後，才能看到一個人是否有光。能看到內在光的人，外在也會有光；而看不到內在光的人，他們外在的光非常模糊、陰暗、黯淡，我們稱這個為靈氣。一位完全開悟者的靈氣非常、非常光亮，徒弟能夠看到這個光，因為他們已經開悟了。徒弟的智慧眼已經打開了，他們能看到佛陀或耶穌有光，因此他們依照自己所見到的樣子來繪製祂們的畫像。…有些人也有一點通靈的力量，他們雖然沒有修觀音法門，但是智慧眼有打開一些，所以也能看到誰有強光、誰有金光、誰有深咖啡色的光。但最好是認識你的自性，了解你就是師父、你就是佛，而且我也要讓你們了悟自己偉大的智慧。  ~清海無上師以英文講於斯里蘭卡可倫坡2000.04.29（影帶編號#687）

問: 您能看到並分析周遭人們身上的靈氣嗎？
答: 我對這個沒興趣，我只對靈魂有興趣，祂永遠光輝、明亮、永恆不朽、無所不在。  ~清海無上師以英文講於美國夏威夷1993.03.28（影帶編號#343）

當然修行的人能看到其他人的靈氣，但那只是阿修羅身體的氣場。高等進化的眾生只看一個人的靈魂，不一定要看靈氣。靈魂永遠都是完美的，比好幾百萬個太陽合在一起還要光亮，只是有時被遮住罷了。  ~清海無上師以英文講於希臘雅典1999.05.20（影帶編號#653）

使用靈力治療違反自然，這會擾亂人們的靈氣、能量中心及磁場，以後會很難導正回來，而且也會擾亂人們的心靈及天性。  ~清海無上師以英文講於美國哈佛大學1991.02.24（影帶編號#155）

事實上，我們過去或現在所做的任何事，即使沒人知道，沒有人看到我們做這些事，甚至他們也從沒見過我們，但他們仍然能從我們的靈氣、能量場、磁場察覺到一些事情，然後做出相對的反應。因此我們必須時時謹慎，保持自己純淨，完全單純乾淨，而且要警醒，努力維持下去。否則，如果發生了什麼事，都不能責怪任何人。  ~清海無上師以英文講於福爾摩沙西湖1996.02.19（影帶編號#527）

我們必須保持高雅純潔的另一個理由是因為人們可以看得到我們，先知、聖賢和心靈純潔的人可以看到我們的靈氣。如果我們行事正當、了悟上帝，像上帝一樣慈悲博愛，並與上帝同一體，那麼我們的靈氣會是金色的，並且非常明亮。假如我們做了不對的事，傷害別人的感情、身體、心理或靈性，我們的靈氣就會變得很暗。人們可以看得到，我們騙不了人，因此我們必須讓自己保持完美。  ~清海無上師以英文講於印度普納1997.11.23（摘自本刊第91期，DVD#600）

Aura

Auras are different from light. Auras are different colors: sometimes black, sometimes coffee-colored, and sometimes yellow or red. It depends on the person’s temperament at that time. But when you see a person with a strong spiritual aura, you know it’s different. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, United Nations, New York, USA, June 26, 1992 (Originally in English) DVD #260

The enlightened people have a great light around them. That is different from the aura. Everyone has an aura. But the great light of the enlightened person is different. It is bigger, clearer, and brilliant. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Munich, Germany, May 1, 1993 (Originally in English) Videotape #366

The light around the Buddha and Jesus is called the halo, the magnetic field of the enlightened one. The more enlightened a person is, the brighter is this light around him or her. But only when you have opened the wisdom eye, can you see if a person has light or not. The person who sees the Light inside has light outside also. The person who does not see the Light inside has very dim or very dark, or very low light outside. We call this the aura. The aura of the person who is completely enlightened is very, very bright. The disciple can see this light, because he or she is enlightened. The disciple has the wisdom eye opened, and he or she can see that the Buddha or Jesus has light. So they paint the picture just the way they saw it…. Some people also have some psychic powers; they don’t even practice the Quan Yin Method, but they have the wisdom eye opened a little. They can also see who has the great light, who has golden light, and who has dark coffee-color light. But the best knowledge is your Self. You are the teacher; you are the Buddha. And I want to show you your great wisdom.

~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Colombo, Sri Lanka April 29, 2000 (Originally in English) Videotape #687

Q: Can you see and analyze auras on people around you?

M: I am not interested, I am only interested in the soul, which is always effulgent, always bright, always everlasting and omnipresent.

~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hawaii, USA, March 28, 1993 (Originally in English) Videotape #343

Of course the people who practice spiritually can see the auras of other people. But that is only the aura of the astral. The highly evolved beings just look at the soul of the person, with or without the aura. The soul is always perfect, brighter than millions of suns put together. It’s just covered sometimes.

~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Athens, Greece, May 20, 1999 (Originally in English) Videotape #653

Healing by using spiritual force is unnatural. It messes with people’s aura, with people’s chakras, with people’s spiritual, magnetic field. And it’s difficult to correct later. It also messes up the psyche and Nature of people. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Harvard University, USA, February 24, 1991 (Originally in English) Videotape #155

Actually, whatever we did or we do, even though no one knows it, even though no one has ever seen us doing these things before or has never even met us, they will still detect something from our aura, from our energy field, our magnetic field, and then react accordingly. That’s why we must take care all the time to keep ourselves pure, impeccably pure and clean, and consciously strive to keep it always like this. Otherwise, whatever happens to us, we cannot blame anyone else. ~Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hsihu, Formosa, February 19, 1996 (Originally in English) Videotape #527

There’s another point about why we have to keep ourselves noble and pure. Because people can see us -- the seers, the sages and the pure in heart -- can see our aura. If we do something right, if we are God-realized, we are God-loving and one with God, our aura is golden, brilliant. If we do something wrong – if we hurt other people emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually -- our aura is dark. People can see us, so we cannot cheat. That’s why we have to keep ourselves beautiful.

Pearls of Wisdom

清海無上師以英文講於愛爾蘭都柏林 1999.06.07（DVD#656）

問：親愛的師父，您提到內在音流可以治癒所有的創傷，請問這種內在音流聽起來像什麼？

答：內在音流有時聽起來幾乎就像這世界的樂器一樣，好比你們聽蘇格蘭風笛、豎琴或長笛，這些樂器的聲音與內在音流很相似。在某種程度上，這些外在的聲音可以暫時紓解我們的壓力和憂傷，但有時卻起不了作用。一旦我們開天耳，就可以二十四小時持續不斷地聽到內在的音流，聽到內在的天堂音樂，祂可以治癒所有創傷，並教導我們全宇宙的智慧。可是外在的音樂只能讓我們快樂一會兒，並不能教我們更有智慧的事情，也無法讓我們變成更聰明、更有愛心、更慈悲的人。但是內在的音樂就可以完全做到！

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

Q: Dear Master, You talk about the inner Melody that can heal all wounds. What does this Melody sound like?

M: It sounds almost like outside instruments, sometimes. For example, if you hear the Scottish bagpipes, the harp or the flute, they also resemble the inner Sound. The outer sound can relieve our stress and sorrow to some extent, for a temporary period. Sometimes it doesn’t. But the inner Sound, the inner Melody of Heaven, will play continuously, 24 hours, once we open our so-called spiritual ear. Then we can hear it all the time. And it heals all wounds, and it will teach us all the wisdom of the universe. Whereas, the outer music only makes us happy temporarily but does not teach us any wiser things, and does not change us to become a more intelligent or more loving or more compassionate person. The inner Music will do all that, yes!

問：最近我和同事接了一個案子，可是那位客戶要求特別多，有時甚至到了不講理的地步；我們不但要花很多時間工作，有時即使不是我們的錯，他也把帳算在我們頭上。

起先我和同事都很生氣，惡言惡語地批評他，和他對立，結果氣氛搞得很不好，所以後來我們就試著去了解他特別要求的原因，也試著讓他理解我們的立場。

不過，這件事仍讓我耿耿於懷，覺得自己就是不喜歡他。所以我想知道，是不是透過靈修，我們就能以愛心待人，儘管那些人對我們很惡劣？

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Videoconference with initiates
from the Midwest Centers, USA, September 1, 2002
(Originally in English) Videotape #753

Q: My colleagues and I recently worked on a project where the client was very demanding and sometimes even unreasonable, making us work long hours and sometimes blaming us for mistakes even though it wasn’t our fault.

So, at first we became angry, talked badly about him and were very confrontational, but it created a very negative atmosphere. So we tried to talk and understand why he made certain demands and also tried to help him understand us.

But in my heart I still had a very uneasy feeling about work and felt I didn’t like him. So I want to know whether through our spiritual practice we can treat people with love even though we’re treated badly by them.

M: I understand. It’s just your brain that reacted to that special circumstance. It’s not that your heart didn’t love him. Your heart is different than your brain. You use your brain a lot so when you deal with people you also use the brain. The brain says, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,” but the heart is different. You do have love; it’s just that you use the brain. Try to use your heart the next time.

He also has his problems, which you don’t understand. His wife may be divorcing him or having an affair with someone else and he comes and takes it out on you. You’re working like mad there, and then here he comes and doesn’t know anything about your labor, about your concentration, about your efforts. He’s just pouring everything on you because he’s also stuffed. He’s depressed and he also may have pressure from his higher boss or maybe his wife or children. The world always puts pressure on everyone and in turn we pressure each other, and that’s the problem.

So maybe in meditation, you can try to send love to him. Tell him, “I wish you all the best and that you’ll become more enlightened soon so that you don’t have to endure all this frustration and anger.” And then meditate and try to understand that he also has problems.

My neighbors also give me problems for nothing all the time. Actually, when I live alone, I don’t have any problems with neighbors or anyone. But sometimes I need to have other disciples around to help me with work because I can’t always do everything by myself. If I’m not working for you guys or for the whole world, I don’t need anyone. But because I’m working, I sometimes need physical help. And then, because of their karma interacting with the neighbor’s karma we have conflicts, sometimes over very small things.

But I always try to understand the neighbor’s point of view and also understand that it’s not his fault. It’s the fault of my attendants or workers or helpers, whoever comes to work in my house. Sometimes they attract this kind of karma to themselves and because it’s my house, my place, I’m in the middle of it. So I never blame the other party. I see into the root of the problem and even tell some of my assistants, “Look, it’s your fault. It’s your combative karma that attracts his combative karma or this kind of reaction from the neighbor. So don’t get angry with him or feel angry inside because from that you create more karma for yourself. And in turn, like a cycle, you’ll attract more of this combative kind of energy and we’ll never be finished with it.”

It’s not just physical. It’s not just mental. It’s not just a verbal argument. It’s the karmic root from somewhere that we sometimes don’t have the ability to see through. And also of course, physically speaking or simply logically speaking, he himself, the boss or whoever, is also human. He has his own problems and sometimes he’s in a bad mood so whatever’s nearby, he just throws at it.

So forgive him and maybe don’t argue with him. Just keep quiet; pray and recite the Holy Names instead. Sometimes he just lets out his air and then later he feels foolish. Because if you don’t answer and don’t react maybe he’ll feel bad and come and apologize.

Try to change your perspective. That adds to the pressure of work for sure. Try to change your perspective of thinking instead of changing the job or changing the person. Try. But you never know: Sometimes we have better karma with someone and sometimes we don’t. We just have to try until it fits.

認識本性 才能真快樂 編號： 690 日期：2000.05.02 地點：香港 性質：弘法講經 用語：中文

清海無上師以英文講於香港 2000.05.02（DVD#690）

問：惡是否只是善的另一面？這是否意味著根本沒有惡？

答：不，不能說沒有惡；不過，惡也是從我們而來。本來沒有惡，只因為我們有不好或否定的念頭，我們做了不好或否定的事，或說了不好或否定的話，這些都會影響我們，也會影響周遭的人，因為它們並不是出自善的本質。每當我們的言行思想肯定，出自善的本質時，就會對我們自己、對其他人產生好的影響。每當我們有不好的言行思想時，也會產生不良的影響。任何事物都有能量，都會造成影響。比方說，玫瑰花漂亮又芬芳，因為它是玫瑰花；而乳酪聞起來就有點像很久沒洗腳的味道！每樣東西都有它自己的品質和影響。我們如果在一個小房間裡擺朵玫瑰花，就會覺得滿室芳香；但如果把乳酪或不好的東西，像是動物或自己的排泄物放在房裡，那整個房間都會很難聞。

每樣事物都有能量，都會產生影響。因為我們是上帝，擁有造化的力量，我們和整個造化同一體，我們所造出的任何東西都會影響我們自己和其他人。所以才會有魔或邪惡的產生，這些都是來自我們不好的能量。假如這種能量不斷地累積，大量聚集在一個地方，那個國家就會有災難或麻煩，全國都會受到影響，人民可能會陷入困境，例如傳染時疫、疾病，或發生戰爭、災難等等，那便是否定的能量或魔在作祟。這些都是人類自己造成的。所以我們要注意自己的思想，時時保持單純、高雅、善良，這樣就不用經歷那些情況。因此，為了我們自己，也為了利益每個人，我們必須要修行、要當個好人。

Stay Away from 
Addictive Activities and Atmosphere

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Paris, France, 
April 25, 1993 (Originally in English) Videotape #360

Q: In the sample book it mentions that gambling is one of the things that is forbidden. Does this only refer to gambling in the casino, or any game?

M: Any game that involves a large sum of money and is involved with the kind of competition between people that breeds an addictive and also a kind of competitive atmosphere is considered gambling.

Q: So, football, for example?

M: Football is OK! If you play football with an attitude of sport, as companions, for pleasure only, then it’s all right. But when they play football and they hit each other when they lose, it’s no good.

I think in any game, we should just remain with the attitude of a gentleman. In the casino, when you lose too much money, you tend to lose your dignity. Also, many people who lose money in the casino come home and then even sell the house, sell the property, sometimes sell the children and wife, just because they get crazy.

There’s also another invisible side to gambling. For those people who like gambling, there are many astral beings or disembodied spirits who hang around them all the time and always push them to do more. So they can never get out of it. Therefore, we had better keep away from such atmospheres.

That’s why the people who begin to gamble, they hardly can get out. Because those disembodied spirits who love gambling always stand around them and sometimes use their bodies to satisfy their desire for gambling. That’s the reason why people find it difficult to quit. It’s the same with alcohol and other heavy drugs, even cigarettes. That’s why we should stay away from these harmful addictive substances and atmospheres. If you have the eyes to see in such places where drugs are heavily used or there is heavy gambling, there are a lot of “mauvais” (meaning bad or immoral) astral beings.

The people who love gambling or drugs or other addictive activities, even if they struggle to stop, they cannot do it. This would be harmful to us. But, for example, if you are very spiritually developed, and then for some special reason you play a game once or something like that, of course it’s not that terrible. You will not be affected by it. But for ordinary people or spiritually weak persons, it’s better to stay away from that, because it becomes addictive.

Let God Be the Healer

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Tel Aviv, Israel, 
November 21, 1999 (Originally in English) DVD #671

Q: Having been informed that as a healer I am not fit to be initiated, I would very much like the Master to advise me how I could join the spiritual experience.

M: I am not telling you to stop your healing, as a healer. I just want to show you a greater way to be a healer, to be a greater healer, the one that Jesus was, the one that when people just touched His garment, they were healed. And Jesus did not even claim it! He said, “Your faith has healed you,” and “My Father has healed you,” because He had no more ego. He didn’t lay hands on people any more; He didn’t pray for people any more. He didn’t do anything!

Everything is the Father’s doing. Hes is the greatest Healer of all time, and that is the status where we should be: all of us, because we are the children of God. We have all this power; the whole universe belongs to us. Anything you want to do, you can, but you have to be One with this power, be One with God and let God do it, not be just one individual healer who has to use physical means to heal people.

So I want to show you to be a greater healer. If you are ready for that, join us. If you are not ready for that, stay where you are and enjoy your work. If you enjoy it, do it. Do whatever is best for you; do whatever makes you feel happiest. You don’t have to come to me, if you are happy where you are. Do whatever suits you at this moment. If you want to join us, we welcome you. There’s no attachment, no condition, no money, now or hereafter, nothing! I am here to serve you. But if you enjoy where you are, it’s OK, too. We are all OK in the eyes of God. Depending on what we want to do, Hes helps us. If you want to stay a nurse, it’s good. But if you want to learn to be a doctor, you have to forsake this work and study further. (Applause)

In all the Bible, you don’t hear that any Prophet heals anyone by physical means. Anyone who is in their presence, if it is the will of the Father, they will be healed through being near the Prophet, or near the Master or through praying to the Master, even if they’re thousands of miles apart. If God wills that person to be healed through the Master, it will be done. But the Master doesn’t do physical things. That’s why Jesus didn’t claim any of the miracles He made. People claimed! People said, “Oh! He healed the sick. He healed the blind.” In fact, it was because they knew it was through Him that they were healed.

But Jesus or any Master such as Abraham or Mohammed never deliberately did things to claim, “OK, it’s me; I healed you.” No, because to do that would defame our Father; it would be very arrogant, I’m sorry to say. If you are near our brothers and sisters who learn the same method and who practice the same way as me, you will hear a lot of miracle stories like that from them, and they will tell you that it’s I who do it. But I always tell them again and again, and now, that I don’t do anything. If there’s any benefit that comes through me, it is the Father who does it! I can’t ever do anything without Hiers will. So every time my people come to me or write me a letter and thank me for any cure of sickness, any miracle or whatever great illness they have escaped, I always thank the Father, because I know it is Hirm and Hiers doing. I know for sure! No one else is there except Hirm, or the Mother, the Mother or the Father.
