| Why Practice Meditation and Find God?
Initiation: Immediate Enlightenment |
Meditation
doesn’t change the world; it changes you. ~ The Supreme Master Ching Hai ~
Initiation
is meant to remind you of your greatest inheritance, and then you
can make use of your treasure every day instead of relying on any
Master at all, whether dead or alive. That is the purpose of our Method
of practice, and there is no other purpose besides that. From
News 109, Aphorisms
Every
time we meditate, we thank God first, we pray for the less fortunate,
and then we remember God with all the sweetness and devotion. From
News 51, Aphorisms
After
initiation, we still have to renew our connection with God again
and again, or else we’ll suffer from the illusion of being
less than children of God. So we each have to be reminded again
because every day we spend about eighteen to twenty hours in the
world, where everyone else in society, even our friends and relatives,
remind us that we’re mere mortals, that we’re weak,
we’re physical, we’re nothing. So we have to spend at
least two-and-a-half hours, one tenth of our time, reminding ourselves,
“No, no: I’m God’s child. I’m a spiritual
being; I’m great.” That’s the time we spend reminding
ourselves, counteracting the world’s pressure so that we don’t
let people convince us that we’re merely weak human beings;
that’s why we have to meditate each day. Otherwise once you
get initiated, that would be enough; you’d be Buddha: finished,
final.

From
News 93, Aphorisms
When
we meditate, or we remember God, our thoughts are holy, pure and
unconditional, so we don’t create anything bad; only holy vibrations
and powerful blessings. So when these powerful blessings and thought
power are generated around us and within our environment, then
it’s raised up. Then other people, who are holy and practicing,
also generate the same thought, same blessing and the same power.
Like attracts like, and when these attract each other they become
a very powerful force which defeats all the evil, negative influence
in this world. That’s how the world will become purified and improved
day by day. That’s how we help the world without having to do
charity work and without having to go out and preach.

As
you know, we don’t use 95 percent of our brainpower. In this 95
percent of the brain lie a lot of secrets, a lot of treasures,
and a lot of bliss, happiness, and wisdom. From
News 98, Pearls Of Wisdom
Meditation
is meant to help us dig out the 95 percent of our dormant ability,
to trim and polish it, and to take it out and use it. From
News 98, Pearls Of Wisdom
We
don’t need to wait a year to take a one-month vacation, because
our body will already be too exhausted, and our mind will be
too tired to enjoy even that period of rest. We do not need
to wait until our body is exhausted and our mind is very much
abused and worn out in order to go on a vacation. We can do
it every day by sitting in meditation. That’s why most of us
experience so-called unhappy feelings in life and are unsatisfied.
We do not give ourselves the time to rest. We think we are resting
when we sleep. That’s fine. That’s also resting, but it’s not
enough, because we are unconscious like in death at that time.
But if we meditate, we are consciously aware of our greatness,
of our communion with the great Source of the universe. And
we are part of it. We are connected with the whole universal
power. That’s why we become strong, patient, and wise, and then
we can do many wonders. We no longer have to use our limited
individual power to do our daily work even. Our daily work will
be taken care of, watched over and blessed by this universal
power. From
News 99, Pearls Of Wisdom
When
we are connected with Heaven through meditation, or deep prayers,
in a sincere longing to know the will of God, we will be able
to serve the world in a better light. The light from Heaven,
which comes through meditation, will be able to shine on our
path, in whichever path we choose to serve the world.

The
purposes of our spiritual practice are to open our wisdom,
help all sentient beings, and uplift the power and civilization
of the world. From
News 57, Aphorisms
We
should practice for the sake of wisdom alone; for the sake
of knowing ourselves; for the sake of knowing the origin
of our home; and to be free, loving and happy. That’s
all there is. From
News 57, Aphorisms
Even
if I tell you all the answers in the world, what is that for?
Just try to ask yourself, meditate yourself, and everything
will be clear. When you talk to other people and they ask
you questions, you should just pray to the inner wisdom and
everything will work out. Pray to the inner master and you
will know many things. The more you use the inner wisdom,
the more you will know that you know. You don’t always have
to rely on me, on the physical master. You will learn quickly
to become a master because you have the master inside. So,
rely on yourself. From
News 99, Pearls of Wisdom
Please
remember to do the Quan Yin according to the proper
proportions. The Quan Yin is the one to clean. Sometimes
people sit there and they don’t do the Quan Yin. In
that case, they cannot progress very quickly. Also,
try to check your thoughts. If you check your thoughts,
there is no bad speech and there are no bad deeds. If
one thought arises and you check it immediately, it
will not come out of your mouth or result in action.
So, thought is important. Don’t follow your passion
or your thoughts, in your mind. You remind each other.
The precepts begin from your thoughts. Purity begins
from your thoughts. So, check your own thinking. From
News 101, Pearls of Wisdom
When
we meditate, if we focus our attention completely
on one point and then place before it any problems
we have, they will be solved immediately. From
News 102, Aphorisms
It’s
not meditation that protects you. It’s the awakening
of your own power within that protects you. It’s
knowing that you’re God that protects you. From
News 148, Aphorisms
Meditation
is the answer. Meditation is sleeping while waking,
sleeping without sleeping, and through it we find
all the answers we need to know about life and
death, about how to deal with our daily life,
our family relationships and our financial business.
We don’t fear the end of the world, we don’t
fear recession and we don’t fear having
no job, because at that time we know how to work
according to the situation without standing there
stamping our feet or waiting for something that
is not in our share. We’re happy, and we
can find a resolution to any problem that we face,
every day. We’re happy in all circumstances,
and many sicknesses and sorrows will just leave
us. And all our worldly desires will also gradually
say goodbye. This is the only solution to every
problem. From
