Let’s hope the government there becomes more enlightened every day. That they will increasingly prioritize the welfare of the people above the interests of the party, not that the party is a priority. The people come first. Many political parties forget that – they forget that the people’s welfare should come before the party’s. It’s not just the Communist party; any other political party can forget. They use all their power to strengthen the party but forget that the party exists for the people, not the people for the party. That’s the trouble. The higher they climb, the more they forget. […]
In fact, it’s not entirely their fault; it’s the collective karma of sentient beings. So we can’t blame anyone, see? It’s the fault of the whole world, collective karma – a powerful force. It’s not something that one or two people, or even one or two organizations, can break down. That’s why I told you that everyone must practice spiritually on their own. I did not entice you by saying that I can practice for you, and once you receive initiation, you can just sleep until you die, right? You have to practice yourself. You yourself have to understand why you need to practice spiritually. […] You gain the benefit because you walk the path, not because I walk it for you. […]
When you ask something, ask for the greater good, not just about your small personal matters – it gets tiresome. (Right.) Too narrow-minded. In spiritual practice, we should be broader. Always thinking “me, me, me” – it’s exhausting. You can smell the heavy energy. See, now I am getting irritated. You need to understand the goal of spiritual practice, which is gradually becoming broader, more open. We think about others more. […]
(I read in one of Your books that if our spiritual level isn’t high enough, when we try to help others, we might take on their karma. Is that right, Master?) Yes. […] Do your best, but don’t think success or failure is yours. So you are not sad when you fail, and when you are successful, don’t think that was your effort. That way, there will be less karma. That’s the true spirit of a Bodhisattva. If you do it and still worry about this and that, then just forget it. […] I don’t rely on my own strength, so I am not afraid. […]
