Highlights

During the six-day Millennium retreat in Thailand, Master met with the working staff from Formosa and said that when we do a lot of spiritual work, our mind will not be complicated. When we are not working, it goes back to being complex. Working diligently with a devotional spirit is thus the best way to practice spiritually besides meditation, because while working we are focused, so it is a kind of spiritual practice. Master especially mentions that She likes people who work with a spirit of dedication. They are Her good working partners and best friends!

Topics addressed

If we have extremely intense inner experiences during meditation that cause bodily stress, how should we handle this condition?
How should spiritual practitioners regard "engagement in worldly affairs according to affinity," or should they face life with a more positive attitude?
Can one change one's predestined karma?
Master's discourse also deals with people's superstitions about fate. In times of failure or difficulty, how do we know if we should view our problems as God's will, or if we should resist them to the end?
How can we improve ourselves if we feel that we lack compassion, are selfish and weigh the gains and losses in every life experience?
Master reveals Her exclusive New Year's gift to disciples in the year 2000.
