By Supreme Master Ching Hai (Originally In Chinese)

• We have to respect ourselves before others will respect us. If we have no self-confidence, no one can have confidence in us. Not recognizing our own greatness, no one else can recognize our greagiess either.

• A humble heart is an empty heart - no obstacles, no ego, no arrogance, having no place to rely on. Only when it is empty, can it accept the precious things that a filled heart cannot contain.

• To learn the Truth, all one needs is an empty heart, a humble heart, a sincere heart.

(Originally In English)

• So actually sainthood is easy and ordinary. No one should even pay respect to us because we are saints. Because sainthood is the original nature of all beings before we came into this world.

• The cause of all suffering is not through an external condition, but it is truly our own attitudes.

• It takes a lot of saintly purity to believe in the Master, and to assign all credit to the Master. This is true, unconditional, innocent love

• Everything in this world is really a challenge for us if we we know how to conquer them. Then we go up to heaven a mighty leader, spiritually. And then we will discover many, many more values in the spiritual dimension which we didn’t even know, even if we stay with God forever in eternity in pure happiness.

• 

  There are no sinners in this world actually. There are only ignorant persons who do not know the purpose of their life and who do not know how to go according to the great plan of the universe. The suffering in this world can become nothing if we know our real self, our real great position in the Kingdom of God or in the Buddha’s Land.
