"Ramayan" Spoken
by Supreme Master Ching Hai There is an Indian movie about spiritual practice. In the movie there was a queen who originally loved Rama, the prince. She loved Prince Rama more than, or at least as much as, she loved her own son. Eventually, in the competition for the throne (Master laughs), her son lost and Rama won. For the sake of the " bone" (Master laughs), the queen hurt the whole family, hurt Rama, and drove her husband, the king, to an angry death. Many, many tragedies occurred. Even her son despised her and left to live in another place. The queen had no intention of doing this in the beginning. However, with a crafty minister always speaking ill of them, gossiping very spitefully to her, she then contrived that venomous scheme. Sometimes we do not intend to do anything, but some evil persons around us instigate trouble. Therefore, when we make friends or when we work with other people, we should be very careful. If we are asked to do something, we should do it only if it is a good thing to do. If it isn't, we shouldn't do it; or it might be too late and we'll be sorry. We might regret it all our life. When Shakyamuni Buddha was alive, many feared that He might come and seize the throne. The kings were afraid of Him and wanted Him dead. And in the time of Jesus Christ, many people believed Him, followed Him, learned from Him, and became His disciples. The priests, ministers of the church, were jealous of Him. They were afraid of His influential power and plotted to kill Him. This
happens life after life, generation after generation, all for the
"bone". (Master laughs) So, human beings are not much different
from dogs sometimes. We always take pride in ourselves and proudly
claim to be the king of all creatures. In reality, sometimes, we find
that the behavior and conduct of our fellow human beings differ little
from that of the beasts. They are sometimes worse than animals. At
times, we spiritual practitioners may also do wrong, but it is good
that we wake up sometimes and our conscience will make us realize
immediately.
