"Whatever
you have to do, do it well. Devote yourself entirely to
the work so you don't waste time."
(News No.56)
"Actually,
our thinking is very important. We should take care that
our thinking is always good, because thinking is the material
for the physical appearance of all things in this universe.
If it is too strong, it will materialize right away. If
it is not strong enough, it will take some time to materialize."
(Originally in English From News No.63)
"We
should not let any situation obstruct our work or our decisions.
Therefore, in this world we can live meaningfully in such
a short period of time and create many plans."
(Originally
in Chinese from News No.72)
"Wars,
disasters or whatever sad circumstances also sometimes have
their use as a bitter but effective medicine. Through them
we come to understand what we really want to achieve in
coming here. If we have to do it, then do it quickly. Otherwise,
there will be no time left. " (Originally In Chinese
From News No.74)
"Whatever
undesirable habits, you try to cut down; and whatever you
think it's good for you -- more ideal, more noble -- then
you try to fulfill in your capacity, in your time, in your
own sincerity and endeavor." (Originally In English
From News No.85)
"Retreats
are very important! Why do our fellow initiates make such
quick progress? It is because we hold retreats frequently
to make up for what we can not achieve in our daily time
schedule. " (Originally In Chineseh From News No.88)
"Time
is
running out! We must be really sincere in our spiritual
practice! You can see that the climate is constantly changing,
and people are coming and going; no one can exist forever."
(Originally In Chinese From News No.92)
"Remember
that we are always together. We are cheated by the concept
of time and space, that' all. Actually the space is also
together, you can not separate space. So, we are in the
same space even. So, what is the problem? Time is only a
kind of illusion. When you sleep you don't know time. And
when you are happy, time flows very fast. When you are miserable,
time drags very slowly. Why? It's all conception, preconception,
it's all an illusion." (Originally In English At San
Di Men Iin Pingtung, Formosa)
"
It takes time for
everything to grow." (Originally In English In U.S.A.
April 9, 1993)
