"Thoughts
are very important. When we think nobly, the whole
universe admires, loves and serves us; and waits for
us to visit their place. When our thoughts are not
noble, not glorious and not as generous as the enlightened
ones, we become ordinary sentient beings. This is
what is meant by: "All is created by the mind!"
Sometimes
you may think: it is merely a thought, it is not very
important. No! It is very important. As human beings,
our actions, speech and thoughts are interrelated.
If the atmosphere generated within us is not one of
purity and benign practice, or is dishonorable, it
will be expressed in our actions."
Spoken By Supreme Master
Ching Hai
Hsihu Center, Formosa, September 29, 1991
(Originally in Chinese)
"Respect
anyone or see anyone with pure eyes, always good for
yourself. That's the best way to look at other people."

"All
of us are great beings from heaven. Before we came
here, we came with the high ideal, with the best intention,
with the good heart, and a very mighty determination
to help and to improve ourselves spiritually even
also by helping people in this world."
