International Gathering in Europe, December 29, 2008 and January 09, 2009

Summary: How should we practice perfect charity and true meditation? During an international gathering in Europe, Supreme Master Ching Hai revealed the answer through the Diamond Sutra, a scripture that recorded the wisdom of the great Shakyamuni Buddha: “A perfect gift, a perfect charity, it is when you give without giving.”

Master reminded us that only when our intention in practice is to help all sentient beings reach eternal peace as we attain the highest Buddha Nature will we be able to control our mind for true meditation. And as the full Truth is realized, we will not have ego to even register the act of delivering other sentient beings, as we will be one with the universal Self.

Summary: Supreme Master Ching Hai invited Association members from around the world to dress up grandly in celebration of 2007 Lunar New Year at Hsihu, Formosa.

There is no other way we can live with each other ever, except in peace. ... Everyone talks about peace, but we must do something to contribute to it, by loving our neighbor, by stopping anything that we think and know is wrong. Anything wrong, we stop it right away; anything right, we do it right away. It is a very simple kind of living. There is no need to look anywhere else for Heaven, unless we are at peace with our neighbors and within ourselves.”

Supreme Master Ching Hai on the Environment: The Secrets of Venus
Los Angeles, California, U.S.A., August 29, 2009

Summary: In this intriguing discussion with Supreme Master Television staff, Supreme Master Ching Hai revealed that billions of years ago, more than one Venus graced our galaxy. However, when faced with a global warming crisis, residents of the different Venus planets did not choose the same path, which in turn led to different planetary destinies. One of the Venuses, as we see today, is trapped in extremely dense layers of carbon dioxide. Master explained, “Because they concentrated all on the physical aspect of development, they did not care about spiritual practice. That’s why they got destroyed.” Sourced from the hidden Galaxy Record Library, this revealed information is a timely reminder for Earthly citizens to make the choices that ensure our planetary survival.

Juice Fast for Peace
Culver City, California, U.S.A., March 7, 2009

When relating fasting to healing of the Earth, Supreme Master Ching Hai said via videoconference with the participants, “It is not just a one week fast, it also awakens our inner courage.

Therefore, after one or two weeks of fasting, you would feel you are invincible.”

Trust in God
International Gathering in Europe, December 16, 2008

Summary: Meat, alcohol, cigarettes and drugs have caused many diseases and crimes, as well as poisoned our health, mind and spirit. The resulting karma has also led to various kinds of natural disasters. If we understand the damaging effects and costly consequences of meat consumption– such as soil aridity, glacial melting, and decreased grain production, etc.–we understand that it is now critical to be vegan.

Moreover, only when we tune our body, speech and thinking to the teachings of a true Master, relying wholly on God, can we then can achieve inner satisfaction and gain the eternal protection of the Almighty.
