(I can hear the inner [Heavenly] Sound 24 hours a day. What is the difference between one inner [Heavenly] Sound from another?) It takes some time. I’ll tell you at the time of initiation. I won’t take up the whole time of the people. There are different sounds, different levels, different ways of listening to the inner (Heavenly) Sound, so I must tell you in detail, and it tak

If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer. (For those of you who have a question, please write it down on the piece of paper that was given to you. Then give it to the Dharma guard who’s wearing a yellow vest. We will gather all the questions to ask Master. Then Master will answer us – right now.)(The first question is: what is jhana? What do you use to measure it?)

The Buddha, even though He was a prince and having so much comfort and luxury, after enlightenment, He led a life of a begging monk without feeling the slightest discomfort and without feeling regret. It wasn’t monkhood that made Him happy, because there were so many monks at that time who had not attained enlightenment, and therefore had been living a life of bickering, battling and ignorance,

Buddha’s Land is just one of the levels of the inner consciousness, and Heavens are just one small part of the Universe. And if we do not practice the right way, if we do not know how, we will never know them, or at least, we cannot know them until we die. And then, it’s not necessarily that after we die, we know the pleasant ones. Maybe we fall into a lower level of existence, and that causes

In order to continue to preserve our planet and to elevate the spiritual atmosphere, as well as the wisdom of this planet’s people, we must practice the way of the Masters, the way of the Buddha. That is to be a good and virtuous person in this world. And we must also learn to open our wisdom, open the door of illusion that separates us between this physical existence and the spiritual world.

The “door” we’ll try to open is the most important door. It’s the Door of Liberation, the Door of Freedom, the Door of Life. Without this Door opening, we will be always transmigrating in the suffering world of illusion. It is very easy to know Heaven and Nirvana, as long as we have this important door opened. Otherwise, Liberation or Nirvana or Heaven, it is just a kind of fairy tale f

“Hallo, respected Master. Hallo, all honorable guests. I have been a disciple for almost 3 years. The first experience I had was while I was meditating on the (inner Heavenly) Sound. While I was sitting there, I heard Music which was loud and melodious. It was very loud above my head. And after that, my brain, my head, seemed to expand and then contract again. And afterwards, there was a feeling o

“Actually, being initiated today doesn’t mean that once it’s finished, everyone is at the same level. Not everyone becomes a great teacher immediately; there are many levels of enlightenment. It depends on our backgrounds or past experiences. […]The more diligent we are in practicing, the more enlightened we become. Therefore, as Master has taught, there are many levels of enlightenment, ra

“The method of transmitting the Dharma, or what we call initiation, isn’t a method that Master Ching Hai invented. It is a very ancient method. Let me give you an example. If we have the opportunity to study the scriptures of various religions, we will find that the subject of initiation is mentioned in many of them. For example, the sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Master Hui Neng, passed on the

All civilised people would boycott the company of liars, thieves, and adulterers; but they go on eating beyond all limits, and never regard it as a sin at all.
