Pearls of Wisdom

(Originally in Chinese)

In times of emergency we can come out with many ways toprotect ourselves or others. But then, why wait till anemergency before we do that? If we think first and are prepared,we will not encounter that kind of situation! If it is anemergency that we cannot avoid, then it is alright. There isnothing wrong with us; our brains are not out of order, then whydon't we use them? There must be a way! There must be a way! Dayby day we can solve those so-called unsolvable problems. Thereis nothing that cannot be solved. Right? Besides, because wepractice, our situation will become better. It will naturallyimprove.

Because I have many disciples, and everyone asks fordifferent things, I have to be good in all aspects. This is howthe situation is. So, it is not that I was any better than youin the beginning. Do you understand? It is because I want myselfto be good. When I should handle a situation, I work out a wayto deal with it. Then I become good! Therefore, you too can doit. Do not be beaten by obstacles or suffering. Perhaps wedon't know how to react today; we have been beaten and we are inshock a little bit. Well, then we will continue tomorrow. Oneday we will be okay!

Why is it that life is not very good for most of the peoplein this world? It is because they do not have any ideas or theirideas are not right. Some want to be a boss, but they don't knowhow to be one. So their business is not good. It is all becausethey do not have any ideas. Some people do not like to decide forthemselves. They don't trust themselves. All through theirlives they depend on other people. Neither of these cases isgood. Do you understand? We have to find a solution. If thesituation is like this, we shall change it whenever we can thinkof a way to. If we have tried our best and still cannot changeit, then we shall see. We still need to put in our best effort. Otherwise, this world will become worse and worse. If evenspiritual practitioners cannot come out with solutions to righta situation, then what can other people do?
