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.
