(English) Just exactly what makes a country in a higher consciousness than another country? First, the government must be wise; they let other good influences come to their land, and they’re willing to learn and to sacrifice for the people. They show the people an example.

Their names will be engraved in the heart ...

(English) It is not what we call ourselves or are titled. It is how we feel about it. Humility doesn’t come with a very humble title; it comes from within.

Any how , they rightly do so; we all have the supreme power inside. Whenever we pray using the name of God, or we happen to come across any name that ...

(French) Humain being has two sides. If we only take care of the physical aspect, it isn't enough. That is why we always feel that something is missing in our life, even if we do not know what it is. The physical side, food, material comfort, protection... allow the body to function in its physical and mental dimension. But the spiritual side of our being doesn't need anything. But even with all the care that we give it, our body doesn't last because it is made of temporary materials and sometimes even breaks down, ...

(English) Highlights~ There are two levels in our existence. One is so-called ignorance; the other is enlightenment. And when we step through the border, we come into enlightenment. Enlightenment implies light. So when you sit in quietness through the help of an experienced teacher, you have light, you see light floating through you. Then you feel elevated, you feel changed. You enter into a different dimension. And once you enter there and are registered, you ...

(English) If you want to buy a pet, if you want to rescue one, or if someone gives one to you, you have to know in advance whether you can commit to keeping it. It's a living creature, a being, exactly like us, but just a little more gifted with intuition and sharper faculties. So it's like a human being. Sometimes, when you look into their eyes, my God, you feel the message coming--they are equal... They are all beings. Just different, understand?

(English) If we had some portion of the enlightened experiences, but we do not know how to go further with it, or how to nourish it, or how to live with it, or to integrate these enlightened wisdom into our daily productivity in order to serve the world. We must make our world into heaven, not to run to heaven because everywhere is heaven. God created only heaven. Until we mess about with our computer brain, kaput one, I mean the damaged, or not very in order. Enlightenment is the way to put ourselves in ...

(French) Everything that enlightened people do will reflect inner Truth, Virtue and Beauty, because these qualities are in abundance and are the essence of our being. Therefore, if we look for Truth, Beauty and Virtue in the physical world, it will never be enough and we will never be satisfied with our life on earth. There is nothing wrong with our material life, but if we only cling to the material side of our life, we end up by running after the shadow and end up by forgetting the reality. Similarly, if you ...

(English) Highlights~ Many times we put things off until tomorrow, all the while knowing that this world is just a transient hotel, is even worse than the hotel where I stay. In the hotel where I stay, I pay some money and they leave me in peace. They even clean my room, change my towels, and give me soap and everything I need. But in this hotel that we call "life" we have to work and pay every day, and even if we pay we still have to suffer. We pay every ...

(English) Excerpts from Supreme Master Ching Hai’s Lecture: The Light inside, the Light of the extreme intelligence, is without shadow and substance; that's why we can hardly see it with our eyes. Even if sometimes we see it with the Wisdom, which doesn't need eyes, we still feel like it hurts our eyes even, our physical eyes.
