Highlights

At a gathering between Supreme Master Ching Hail and Association members in France 2008, Master told stories of the Wise Mullah Nasrudin and profound stories from the poems of Rumi.  Why did Mullah Nasrudin choose money instead of wisdom in the face of the king?  Why did such a great master have to endure his wife’s sarcastic criticism?

The Supreme Master also explained the meaning of “The Story of Kharraqani” in a delicate way: “One day when you get old, think of all the upheavals in your life, all the retribution that has been thrown on your path: you will feel ‘How lucky I have been trained with the merciful hand of heaven so that I have become humble.’ Because you become nothing, you become great, you become your true Self.”
