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。

從小處開始學習同情心
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。

無條件付出讓上帝照顧一切
問：師父，我在街上常遇到乞丐討錢。我不曉得他們會把錢拿去買食物，還是買酒或毒品。遇到這種情況，應該怎麼做才是合乎靈性的高雅做法？
答：給他錢！也許他是誠實的。為何要懷疑一個一無所有的人呢？他什麼都沒有，還能失去什麼？如果他願意失去他的尊嚴，那是他的事。
你不必操心那個，只要擔心自己有沒有慈悲心就好了。用愛心布施給他，給一個需要的人，就是這樣，不管他做什麼、不管他有沒有欺騙你，那是他的問題。
我在報紙上看過一張很酷的照片：有兩個男子坐在一塊，他們前排的牙齒都快掉光了，可是依然滿面笑容，露出光禿禿的牙齦。他們兩個人並排坐著，笑得很天真。
左邊的那位前面擺著一塊看板，上面寫著：「何必騙人呢？我就是需要一品脫的酒，四十盎司也行。」他就把看板放在前面。而他身旁那個人也沒牙齒，快樂地咧嘴笑著，在他前面也有個看板寫著：「我也一樣！」而人們真的甚至給他們錢。
我們做任何事都要無條件地付出，也許有些人會騙我們，不過有可能他們沒騙人，所以給他們就好。他們已經飽受蹂躪、沒有尊嚴了，不需要再去猜想他們很壞，加深對他們的傷害。

Selected Questions and Answers
Learn to be Compassionate from Small Ways Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Brisbane, Australia, March 20, 1993 (Originally in English) Videotape #337 Q: What should a non-compassionate person (someone who is not compassionate, but who recognizes that he is not compassionate) do with himself? Fake compassion or gain it in stages? M: I would recommend the second. [Laughter] If we don’t have it, then at least we start with learning. I wouldn’t say fake compassion, but learn compassion. Just like a student who has not been able to speak English, but he may repeat it from the teacher. Even though he doesn’t know the whole vocabulary in English literature, at least he learns a few phrases and memorizes a few pages each day until he completes his course. Each one has to learn. There’s no one who is a fake; it’s just that he hasn’t learned. No one has taught him, and he has not practiced the art of compassion. Try to do it in a small way and gradually increase until you’re completely being compassionate without knowing, without self-consciously being compassionate. |
The Highest Realms
Are Ruled with Love and Grace
May 31, 1999 (Originally in English) Videotape #655 (Part I)
Q: What is universal law?
M: Universal law has two classes: One is the law of absolute love and grace, while the other is the law of action and retribution. When we’re in the higher dimensions of the Kingdom, then we have only love and grace; that’s the only law. But when we’re in the lower scales of the universe such as this physical dimension, we have to abide by the law of cause and effect. That’s what is meant by As you sow, so shall you reap in the Bible.
So, most people who are not in contact with God have to suffer the law of cause and retribution. But for those who can ascend to a higher dimension, they enjoy only grace and love. God never judges us. 
Give Unconditionally and Let God Take Care of the Rest
Q: Master, I often encounter beggars on the streets, and they ask for money. And I don’t know whether they want to use the money for food or for alcohol or drugs. What’s the spiritually noble thing to do in such cases?
M: Give it to him just on the chance that he might be honest. Why do you suspect a man who has nothing? He can’t lose any more than he already has, and if he wants to lose his dignity as well, that’s his problem.
Don’t worry. Just worry about whether you have compassion or not. Give to him with love. Give to a man who is in need and that’s it. Whatever he does or if he wants to cheat you, that’s his problem.
I once saw a very cool picture in the newspaper. There were two guys sitting together who had both lost a lot of teeth in the front, but they still smiled with their empty gums. They were smiling very innocently sitting next to each other.
The one on the left had a sign in front of him that read, “Why tell a lie? I need a pint.” And, “Make it 40 ounces.” He held it in front of him. And the other one next to him, also with no teeth and grinning very happily had a sign in front of him that read, “Me, too!” And people gave them money even.
We should do everything unconditionally. Some people might cheat us, but just on the chance that they won’t, give it to them. They look so downtrodden and so undignified already, there’s no need to hurt them more by thinking that they’re bad.
