If we still get angry at others, still need others' company, or still need others to comply with our moodiness and opinions, then we are still within our own egos, because our egos make us feel separated from others.
We never know when the retribution of our negative karma will come back to us. It always descends upon us suddenly, and when it is least expected. Therefore, we must take good care of our actions, speech and
thoughts at all times, and remember to connect with the Almighty Power within in order to raise our level of consciousness. Then, when the negative karma comes, we will have enough wisdom and power to overcome it.
If we still do not have empathy with the suffering of others, or the capacity to feel the emotions of others, then we are still far from the Tao.
Working is the best time to test our patience and to exercise our bodies.
It's easier to forgive than to punish. It's easier because you don't have to think about it any more, and that person is happy and doesn't give you any more pressure.
When we are pushed into a situation, we realize our wisdom.
Gentleness always defeats toughness in this world; the more tender, formless or supple, the greater the power.
If we want to receive the wisdom or love of an Enlightened Master, we should not be too complicated; we must be single minded in order to receive.
Don't become a sulky Buddha; always be cheerful, be optimistic. If we force ourselves to be optimistic, eventually we will become optimistic. Who can force us other than ourselves? Unless we compel ourselves to
advance, no one else can help us.

Master Ching Hai was born to a well-off family in Aulac (Vietnam), the daughter of a highly reputed naturopath. She was brought up as a Catholic, and learned the basics of Buddhism from Her grandmother. As a young
child, She showed a precocious interest in philosophical and religious teachings, as well as an uncommonly compassionate attitude towards all living beings.
Today more and more Truth seekers from different countries and all religions have been streaming to Her for Her supreme wisdom. To those who sincerely wish to learn and practice the method of Immediate
Enlightenment which She Herself has verified to be the supreme one - the Quan Yin Method, Master Ching Hai has been willing to give them initiation and further spiritual guidance.
