I've Finally Found Myself

Dear Master Supreme Master Ching Hai,

　Before knowing You, I didn't know what was right for me. Most of my life, I felt that I truly wasn't living within myself. My life was a mess. I have tried a lot of spiritual paths; there are so many choices. It's not always easy to find the path that is best for oneself, and the cleanest way to go.

　There are so many stones we have to pass by before we see a glittering of light far away. I forgot to look inside myself, because that's the only way to find out who I really am, where I have come from.

　Dear Master! I'm so grateful to know You. My life has really changed. I feel more happy, satisfied. I smile at the world in a more natural way. I'm not a mask anymore, I'm me. Sometimes, I could kiss everyone who passes by; and for me, the world is more clean.

　I deeply feel and have faith that there is a way for all of us to go and Master will help us to progress on our spiritual path. For sure, it's not always easy, because of the ego; and I know that I still have lots of things to learn. I'm trying to learn more at the present time. I say to myself, "All the mistakes I have made in my past lives, I have to forgive myself and learn from my mistakes." If I don't forgive myself, I can't continue to live.

　Dear Master, thanks for reading my letter. I would love to have Your blessing. I hope to meet You one day. It would mean a lot to me.
