If we are pure at heart, we would not wish one person well and not another. We should see there is no difference between one person or another.

If we don’t love ourselves, we would not love others. When someone tell you to love others first, and to love others more than ourselves; it is impossible. If you can’t love yourselves, you can’t love anybody else. Therefore we must gather up our great power so that we know in what ways we are good, what special abilities we have, what wisdom, what kind of talent we have, and how big our love is. When we can recognize our virtues, we can learn how to love others. –The Supreme Master Ching Hai

Our bodies, speeches and minds need to be trained so that they will do anything we want. We can cry or laugh at once when we want to. Then it will be a natural response; we will cry when it is time to cry, and laugh when we should laugh. Do you understand? We can get angry when necessary; we can be gentle if we have to. We will completely become our own master. Then, no matter what we want to do, it will benefit the world. It is not difficult to attain this stage; all we need to do is to mediate. –The Supreme Master Ching Hai

During meditation, if we can concentrate all our attention on one point, and put all problems in front of it, then they can be solved immediately. Our power is great, but we never use it.

Sometimes, if we are faced with obstacles, be they tangible or not, such as jealousy, worldly sentiment, greed, hatred or obsession, etc., there is no other way to overcome them except by practicing more diligently. You need to read Master’s books and to listen to Master’s tapes more often, meditate more, do Quan Yin more, put more effort into your practice and concentrate more on the path of practice. It is safe only when you are sheltered by the supreme power, no other way. –The Supreme Master Ching Hai

Sometimes, after you have taken part in a seven, one or two-day retreat, you could feel that your level of practice had risen.

Those who believe in truth and justice and have a high morality are not vulnerable, as God will look after them. –Koran

Only by spiritual practice can we break through our karma and the effects of the causes we have made. Only then can we escape from them. It matters not whether you have acquired any merit. Merit is merit. Karma is karma. Nonetheless, if one practices the Quan Yin Method, one can be liberated regardless of having any merit or not. It is so logical, so scientific. –The Supreme Master Ching Hai

It can causes us great trouble if we do not handle our worldly love carefully. Of course we can love someone. If we use our love to help and encourage each other, to cultivate our aspiration to practice the path of Truth and thus uplift the level of our practice, then it is fine. However, if in order to love someone, no matter how good or beautiful that person may be, we have to keep on reincarnating in this bitter sea of suffering, then it is not worth it at all. This is how there is a good and bad side to loving someone. Anything has a light and a dark side and depending on which side you use, the result will be good or bad for you. --The Supreme Master Ching Hai
