"Q: If you want to progress faster, and doing more meditation will help that, how much more do you really have to do to progress?

M: You should feel how much you can take, or how much you want to do. Also, it's not only the meditation; it's the heart, the commitment. It's the devotion inside that says, "Oh! I really only want this." You long for it inside yourself, and that is a meditation. It's not just the sitting.

Q: In daily life, how you deal with things and how you feel, can that help as well?

M: Yes, yes, yes: how you look at things, and how you let them go. We can talk forever, but each one has his or her own way of going to God. Faster or slower, it's their own choice. You can't dictate to your heart what to do; neither can I. You just have it or don't have it. One day you are tired, weary of the world, of the fakeness and the illusion. Then you just commit inside. And it doesn't matter how long you sit, you are committed. You are with God all the time, inside your heart. That is true meditation. And that becomes very comfortable for you. Then you know it; you know that you are devoted. Otherwise before, you try very hard to be devoted, but you're just trying. That's the difference!"

"Everything serves something. We are here for something; we are what we are, because we want to be that way, because God wants us to be that way. But we have to have nutrition to exist the way we want to be, the way we should be. The body needs nourishment to exist, in most cases, not all. The soul, the beautiful true being that we are, needs something else to survive, to glow, to bloom, to decorate our life, to fulfill our purpose in this existence or in the whole universal existence. We have to tune into the vast reservoir of energy in order to nourish ourselves, to do what we do, to be what we want to be. Just like the rose needs some fertilizer, good soil, and good care, so it can bloom better, become a nicer flower, fresh, and with a beautiful color, pleasing to the eyes of whomever looks at it. Similarly, we need nutrition for the spirit so that we can bloom in full, so everyone around us feels happy and we feel happy.

That's why we need to practice the Quan Yin Method. It's just a name for tuning in with the nourishing power, so that we can exist 100% and flourish as a great being, as a human being. (Applause) Otherwise, we don't exist completely and that's why we are miserable. Same with the roses. If the rose doesn't have what it needs, it'll probably bloom only half or smaller, with the color so miserable, or some worms will eat her. Then it looks so handicapped, so bad, so miserable, not the way that they look right here. These are the cultivated, the cared-for, the fully nourished flowers here. So they give their best, and that's the way we should be. As the great human beings that we are, we have to bloom in full, with the spirit, with the mind power, and with the body -- with the three parts of the body, of which is said, "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost." Missing any of that, we are not fully developed human beings, and we will never be happy and peaceful. It doesn't matter how much peace and happiness we want, doesn't matter how many meetings we arrange with each other to talk about peace, we won't have it."
