Fearlessness is the Way to Spiritual Greatness – We Need Changes on the Planet – Meditate with the Utmost Sincerity

Fearlessness is the Way to Spiritual Greatness

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai,
Four-day retreat in Washington DC, USA,
December 26, 1997
(Originally in English) Videotape #609

If we do everything in a humble way, accept whatever duty is assigned to us, undertake whatever obligations we have and shoulder our responsibilities, we become masters of ourselves and of any situation. When we don’t let situations break us down, that is the way of the warrior; the way of the great person. And if you know you are great, that’s enough. Even if no one else knows, I know, you know and God knows. That’s a lot already; it’s a threesome!

So I hope you will continue to serve our brothers and sisters the way you have in the past years of your life. And whenever you encounter difficulties, know that they make you strong. Some of you have even had to sacrifice a lot, not just your personal interests or some degree of family happiness, but also sometimes enduring personal suffering. So in the face of difficulty, if we can withstand that, we know we are great, but it’s only for ourselves to know.

 

We Need Changes on the Planet

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai,
Teleconference with Bangkok Center, Thailand,

(DVD & MP4-840)

The cleansing effect is very unpleasant to bear. But if people realize, this is just a warning, and change to a better, nobler lifestyle in love and peace, then all life on Earth will be in unity. And let’s pray that this happens very soon. We need it. We need a change in humans’ consciousness. We need peace and love on this planet, for a change. We have been living long enough in the shadow of wars, cruelty, troubles, famine and suppression of all kinds, due to the killing karma. We really need a breath of fresh air. We need peace, comfort, safety, happiness and love among all beings on the planet.

You all should meditate with utmost sincerity to achieve desired spiritual success. This is the only treasure you can take with to after life – all else come and go unpredictably! You know it well. It’s hard to detach yourself within from all worldly enchantment, but please do try your best, if you wish to attain higher spiritual levels – NOW and after — I have shown the way. You are only to follow it till the end – eternal glory, peace, happiness, liberation await you now and beyond. You all know this already, more or less – depends on your practice. I am always with you, now and forever, and you all know that too.
