So when you meditate, you should leave everything behind. Leave your body, leave your friends, leave everything. Not think of anything. Just think of greatness of the gods that I told you. And at least you’ll be born into at least one of these regions. And then the Master continues to help you.

To let someone become a nun or monk, or yourself become a renunciate, the merit is as great as the sky above, as deep and wide as the ocean underneath. The renunciate person uses Buddha’s teaching, sutra, as water to cleanse all his piling-up karma, residues of karma, from life after life. From then he will cut off all these rebirths, deaths, suffering, sickness, etc, etc. And from then on, he use

Even though these great monks under Buddha, they already attained Arhat and wisdom, but they still had some ego left. Do you understand me? That is the problem. The ego is the one who makes you judge wrongly and think differently than you should. "The Buddha wanted to save his life. So, of course, the old man was feeling happy, happy, all the sorrow and trouble, gone, and then he followed Buddha b

If anyone keeps the Ten Precepts, and then uses that merit to wish to be born in Heaven, being a god, a high god in Heaven, or if any person keep the precepts very, very diligently, correctly and then always does the charity work, and then he keeps all these good precepts, and then when he dies he will feel peaceful.

At night, the more you’re awake, the better. You will hear things, you’ll see things better. But you pass it all. You have it. You have it all, you let it all pass by. Because you’re not awake, especially late at night time. Many things, you should know, you should see, but you pass it all. And then you tell me, “Master, I don’t see anything.” How can you see when your eyes are closed? Physical an

Teacher already knows. Even if I tell a lie, he would know, too. So it’s better l tell the truth. Because in this life, in this world, anyone who has some wisdom and their heart is pure, and they always tell the truth, and they are honest, even all the heavenly kings have to respect that person. But if you have wisdom but you are not honest and straight, then it’s bad. It’s better to be just a nor

If you always think of somebody else’s comfort, benefit, before yourself, then you are saints; very simple like that. Selflessness is saintliness. So being poor doesn’t mean unhappy. The fewer things I have，the happier I feel. I feel freer. I just make it more popular, more easy, simple. So that the people who hear those names of the Buddha, may be saved from hell. The ones that I cannot reach. Sa

We should treasure virtues above all. And we should try to adhere to spiritual practice more than anything on earth, because that is the lasting treasure, the lasting thing we could keep. Nothing else in this world we will be able to keep, nothing. Not even this body, we call “my body”. Not even the brain, the mind, nothing. Nothing is ours. Nothing we can keep.

So now they were unable to listen to this Dharma which Buddha was teaching. “In the round of existence without conceivable beginning, these living beings have been accustomed to listen to the speech of animals in its countless forms. Therefore, they spend their time in places where men drink and amuse themselves and therefore sing and dance. It is impossible for them to listen to the Dharma.” Anan

Then we cannot think too much, we can’t meditate very well, and then we will be reincarnated again, again and again, just to eat. And then sleep. Eat and sleep until we sleep forever in the tomb.

They sacrifice Nirvana to come to hell. This world is almost like hell. The Buddha, an enlightened Master, like Buddha, or Jesus, they knew all this, but still came down, because they love us.
