從愛心出發

• ★如果我們多打坐，我們最後就會明白我們什麼都不缺。對我們而言 ，每一天都是奇蹟。我們變得更加快樂、有愛心，這就是上帝給我們的最好的禮物。

  ★這個世界如果不靠修行，沒有地方、沒有力量可靠，武力、原子彈只能夠消滅人而已，不能屈服人。

  ★看自己好的地方要發展，自己不好的地方要改變，找自己光亮的角落，不是光靠打坐就好。

  ★光聽師父的教理不夠，你們聽了以後自己要應用，知道如何分別好壞和真假，把師父的教理應用在生活裡面才好。不然的話，你們被自己的我執、名利心或是外面社會影響，連自己也控制不了，我們習慣做那種行動以後，會來不及改。

  ★平等心是什麼東西好就說好，什麼東西壞就說壞。把壞東西強說成好東西，或把任何東西強迫變成同等的價值，這是分別心。

  ★師父就是你們自己的本性，不是另一個人的肉體；因為修行不多，所以不了解，以為師父是另外一個人，或以為師父罵你，是因為師父生氣。不是啦！是自己罵自己的，自己業障跑出來，自己洗自己乾淨。所以一切唯心造！

  ★我們有心的話就有佛；有心是什麼呢？誠心、謙卑心，以及百分之百相信最高佛力的信心。

  Aphorisms 

The Master Is Your Own 
Original Nature

By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally in English)

 If we meditate more and more, finally we know that we don't need anything. Everyday is a miracle for us, and we're happier and more loving everyday. That is the best gift from God.

In this world, apart from our spiritual practice, there is no other place or power that we can rely on. Violent martial arts and nuclear bombs can only destroy people, not win them over.

When you observe any goodness in yourself, develop it. When you observe any bad points in yourself, rectify them. Look at the positive aspects. It is not enough to just rely on meditation alone.

It is insufficient to just listen to Master's teachings; you have to put them into practice after hearing them. Learn how to distinguish between good and evil, true and false; and use Master's teachings in your life. Otherwise, you will be influenced by your ego, your desire for profit and fame, or the society outside; you won't be able to even control yourself. Once we get used to these kinds of behaviors, it is too late to change.

Impartiality is, if something is good, then say it is good; if something is bad, then say it is bad. Argumentatively saying that some bad thing is good, or forcibly turning all things into the same, equal value, is discrimination.

The Master is your own original nature, not the physical body of another person. Your practice is not good enough, so you don't understand; you think that Master is another person, or that Master scolds you because She is angry. Not so! It is you scolding yourself; it is your karma emerging, and you cleansing yourself. Therefore, everything is created by the mind!
