Master's Words
Always Keep The Heart Innocent Like A Child
Excerpt From The Lecture In Pingtung, Formosa,
By The Supreme Master Ching Hai December 1, 1988
The simple people will all attain the Tao. The most important thing is a
pure heart, a heart that does not discriminate, a heart that does not
differentiate between pain and happiness.
Do you know what the Zen master
Seng Tsan said? "It is very difficult for those people with hearts that
discriminate to find the Great Path." What he meant is that those people
with equality, simplicity and contentment in their hearts are able to find
the Tao more easily.
Lao Tzu also said that one can only reach the Tao when
one becomes like a child. Jesus Christ also said that unless you become
innocent like a child, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God. Buddhism and
Taoism say the same thing. The Bible also says similar things. Islamism
also says the same.
Islamism teaches their followers not to criticize
others. No matter how he is, it is God's will for him to be so. The
meaning is that we should be like children and not criticize others. Then,
it is right!
