Change Our Thoughts To Free Ourselves

Spoken By Supreme Ching Hai, Hsihu Center,
Formosa, October 15, 1995(Originally In Chinese)


Our thoughts are also very important. We want freedom, and we can achieve it through our thoughts! We should not bind our thoughts with the preconceived ideas that we are sad, we are inferior, ugly or immoral persons. Change our concepts with thoughts, and train our body cells to obey our ideal and quest. They will change accordingly, and follow the direction of our thoughts; this is how they gather informative material! Take care of yourself everyday; tell yourself that you are very good, and endeavor to do the best. The body cells will act accordingly, then you will be elevated to higher levels and become increasingly relaxed and free.

Always use your wisdom and judging ability to handle things flexibly. Do not stick to the same way each time. Master can never teach you everything! It is because each situation is different. You are thousands of individuals, each having your own way of reacting. You have to figure out what to do yourselves. The two and a half hours of meditation serves to let you concentrate and to gather your power, which is to be used when required. Should you fail to use it, it is wasted! You are the same as people who don’t meditate or have no wisdom, so you have no reason to be proud and think that you are great. Being spiritual practitioners, we should repent even more gravely if we have failed to use our wisdom.
