Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Washington D.C., U.S.A.

Don't forget Jesus. He also worked very hard two thousand years ago, so that today we can enjoy a very, very special festival to remember God. Even though He doesn't teach us anything right now, He did. He sowed the seeds of spiritual cultivation and reminded us of the way Home. And now we follow in His footsteps. So to remember a great teacher like this is a proper way. We should sit and pray to God, and realize our Self, and to be one with Jesus again, be one with Christ. This is the best Christmas. That is, the proper ... the most proper Christmas celebration, and it should be for everyone on this planet. Really, they should all do it like this. We can also enjoy a very beautiful Christmas with no blood on the table.
