good & BADPeoplewho pursue spiritual practice and those who don't are using thesame resources. We use the mind, the body, and our intelligence.However, spiritual practice brings us happiness, and brings peaceto the world and stability to our families. Using the same mind,we could destroy the world, ruin the Earth, or endanger all ofhumankind. Therefore, nothing is really good or bad in this worldor universe. Things are bad when we use them in the wrong way,and they are good when we use them in the right way.
..... Withinthe bad there exist the good. Just like roses have thorns, wecan't always look at the thorns, we must gaze at the rose.
..... Whenwe get enlightenment, we will create a new heaven. And when wedo something bad or sinful, we create a new hell. Do not thinkthat hell exists already, waiting for you to fall into it. No,we create them. Heaven and hell are all our own creation.
..... Whyis this world always changing? It is for us to learn the lessonof always being prepared, of being on the alert. Do you know this?So, the world is neither good nor bad; it only depends on howwe use it. Good or bad depends on how we use the situation tolearn our lessons well. So, you understand now! You should belearning every moment. Spiritual practice goes on round the clock.
..... Successor failure in this world is not the important objective. Sometimesfailure is success and success is just failure. We need the wisdomeye to judge.
..... Themost significant difference between the Buddha and the devil is- the Buddha is always giving, while the devil is always taking.It is the quality of the devil to occupy the time and space ofother people.
..... Q. Is there right? Is there wrong? Any difference?
M.No? There is no difference? You need to ask me this? if you wantto go out and steal another's wife, is that right? If you askthat person's husband he says no, and that is not right accordingto our human society's behavior and virtue. What's right and what'swrong, according to the law and according to the human standard,we must observe, without any excuse. We do not say I have becomeone with God and God has no discrimination. Right is wrong, wrongis right. No. No. No. We don't make this kind of nonsense excuse.Therefore to practice with me, with this method, I emphasize thevirtues. One must take to heart the keeping of the commandments,the five principle commandments. Thou shall not kill, thou shallnot steal, thou shall not commit adultery, thou shall not telllies, thou shall not drink alcohol or take drugs, or do anythingthat makes our mind confused or body weak, or any kind of so-calledfilms, movies that excite our passions and are no good for ourquiet, and very calm nature. These are all called drugs, includingfilms, gambling, and alcohol. These are all drugs. So these fivecommandments I may ask you to keep, if you want to join our circleof practice. You must not follow me in person, you must not doany service for me, you must not offer me anything, except yourcommitment to yourself and meditation every day. You must givethis, as far as possible. Yeah? And then the five commandmentsI also demand you to keep. And that's all you have to do.
