Highlights

Excerpts from Supreme Master Ching Hai’s Lecture:

We live a life with no meaning, in darkness, lowly, not worthy for being a human being. Understand? So we have to reclaim our right being a human, regain our honor, our own power and wisdom.
Meditation time is the time we ... concentrate the treasures for ourselves, in order to nourish our body and mind as well ... The most precious time of your day is meditation time.
Everything in life whether good or bad, is created by us ourselves. If we say it’s good, our mind will listen, “Okay, it’s good!” If we say it’s bad, our mind will listen, “Okay, it’s bad!” So we are our own teacher, who else?
You have to remember your Great Self, remember your own purpose, which is returning to your noble Self. Don’t let your mind cheat you. Don’t be tempted by the world out there and run around wasting your time.
