Recently, our world has had a lot of disasters, like drought and dry climate and the planet heating up due to a lot of weather changes, because we have abused so many of the natural resources. Some of the disasters are also from nature, like the burning forest; and then that reduces the rain a lot, and that in turn also heats up our planet. And then the more it heats up, the more it becomes dry. The more dry, the less trees; the less trees, the less rain; and the less rain, the less trees. And this is the devil's circle. Every corner of the earth affects the whole planet. You know it very well, because of the recent fire in Indonesia, which affected the whole of Singapore, and Malaysia and the neighboring areas. So actually, from these kinds of natural lessons, we can tell that one person or one place on this planet will affect other parts of our planet. Therefore, if you yourself - your heart, your mind, your speech and your actions - are pure, how much more beneficial can it be to this planet? This is very logical. We have no need to argue, or to demonstrate. Every place has its own atmosphere. So when you go into a funeral service or hospital, you feel different from when you go into a church. Or, when you go into a slaughterhouse, where all the animals are killed for meat, you will feel different. I don't know if you can feel, but I feel it. Can you feel it? (Audience: Yes.) Yes, of course. For example, the last time we went to the Hong Kong refugee camp, the White Head Center, right there it was really a terrible feeling. I could not help but just keep crying. I had no voice to even sing. I was choked with the atmosphere of the camp. Of course, we can rise above it. But since we want to share and understand the suffering of other beings, then we can feel it. If you don't want to have anything to do with it, of course you can rise above it and have nothing to do with it. Like the lotus in the muddy water, you don't have to be contaminated. But since we live in this world, we want to share happiness as well as sorrow with our fellow brothers and sisters. And we will feel the difference between each place in this planet. That is because the atmosphere is different in different places. The atmosphere created by one group of people is different from the atmosphere created by another group of people, or another person. Sometimes you come and see a friend or relative, and before they even say anything you just hold their hands and you feel what they feel. Is that not so? There is a man in America, who since his childhood was very bad boy. If anyone happened to make him angry or was not to his liking, he would just hit them. So he was a very violent person. Until one day, he got struck by the lightning from Heaven. Then he was dead for a while or declared dead by doctors in a near-death experience. And then, between that he went to Heaven; he went to a place and other beings there showed him the kind of life that he had led up till now, violent and unfair, suppressing people and things like that. Then afterward, they told him, “If you continue like this, all disasters will be upon you.” And they also showed him a lot of disasters going on in the world, from that time up to the present time. And most of the things being shown to him have already happened. They told him: “If you continue your life as you have done, all these disasters will be upon you.” So, of course, he made good, and he tried to change his way of life. Then afterward, because of this promise to change his way of life, God gave him a lot of abilities, including the ability to read other people's minds, to know their sickness and to know what they had done in that day. So, whenever a person came to him and he just held their hands, he knew exactly what had happened to that person that day, everything. So when a person is in sorrow or happiness, you'll be able to tell sometimes. Even though without psychic ability, you can know. You can feel something. Sometimes the person doesn't say anything, but you keep asking, “What's wrong with you? Hey! What's wrong? What's the matter with you?” Is that not so? (Audience: Yes) It is because of the atmosphere of
that person; it's very obvious to your inner feeling that something
is wrong with him. Even though she or he keeps smiling and talking non-stop,
you still feel something is wrong. And then you ask, “What's wrong
with you? Won't you tell me what's wrong?” And they say, “No,
nothing, nothing.” But you still know something's wrong. That
is because the individual atmosphere is very, very obvious sometimes.
If the feeling is very strong, then it makes an impact on other people.
It makes an impression on their face and it's written in their eyes.
That's why the psychic people can read people's thoughts; they can read
the feelings. They can also tell you what you are thinking, because
that is the impression that we make to the clearly psychic person.
