Meditation Is A Way To Reprogram Our Thinking

Spoken by Master Ching Hai

The mind is just a collection of all kinds of information, bad and good. It is just like a computer, whatever you program it, and when you push the button, it comes out the same. Our brain would be empty; it would be absolutely blank, just like a brand new computer, until we start to record things and information, and sometimes good, sometimes bad. If we happened to record the good information and when we want to make use of it, then the good information come out. If we happened to record the bad information, then of course the bad information comes out.

So now, to meditate, to pray to God or to study the holy scriptures is just a way to reprogram our thinking, our way of life. Because we reprogram it in a good way, the result that comes out is always good, or at least not as bad as before, or at least not all bad. Even though we can’t help to record some bad information daily, the number will be less than before. It’s because we keep recording good things, like we meditate; we meditate on God name, we meditate on God power and we get the God power coming through us, filling us with joy, virtues and goodness. Then even the bad information comes in, it has no room, and also may be minimized. And because of the goodness and the powerful energy from God, through meditation each day, we will be able to dilute or maybe digest completely any information that is harmful to our minds and our souls. That’s why we cannot not to meditate! We cannot not to study the holy scriptures.

 

Questions & Answers after Lecture (19-21)

Excerpt from Master Ching Hai’s Lecture

Q19- Do you truly know that you have been blessed and sent by the true God to sincerely help and rescue the lost ones that are not of this earth and universe?

M. Yes!  Completely.  I would not tell you, otherwise I fear to go to hell if I tell a lie.  I fear God’s punishment.  I fear his judgment.

Q20- How do you explain the fact that in the 1940’s scientists proved that there is no ether.  What is it and how does it function?

M. It is maybe because the scientists call it by a different name.  Ether is what the Chinese called  “Chi” .  It functions invisibly and you can’t just use science to prove it.  I disagree with that.   The scientists have invented many things, have discovered many things, but there are many things they do not know, and they could not know, and they could not discover.   The simple reason is that everyone knows they use only a limited fraction of their minds, or a little part of it.  We use only one fifth or one tenth of our mind and we think we know everything.  Oh, impossible!

Q21.  Buddha wanted to liberate all the living beings and wished all the living beings  would become Buddha (fully enlightened) also.  However, Jesus Christ said that only those who believe in him can be saved.  Those who do not believe will go to hell.  You use the Bible and God’s teachings  to explain the Buddha’s Sutras.  Does that mean Buddha is better or greater than God?

M. No, they both speak the same thing.  It is like this.  The Buddha said that he wanted to liberate all sentient beings, but he could not, could he?  Not everybody is liberated.  Everyone who met the Buddha could have been liberated, but only when the Buddha was alive.  We have to find the living Buddha  (a fully enlightened being) in order to get liberated.  Jesus said the same thing, that whoever believes him will go to heaven.   That was true when he was alive, but after he is gone we have to find another Jesus.  So they both spoke the same thing.  Therefore both say they want to liberate all beings, and that, those who believe can go to heaven.  But many beings are still not in heaven.  After they left, other people came, and not many people always believe in Buddha or Jesus.  Every time a Buddha comes, only a few people, a handful of people believe him.  Therefore, only this handful of people can go to heaven.  Where the others are going depends on their karma.

FINDING THE LIGHT – The Kingdom Within

Excerpt from Master Ching Hai Lectures

There is a better life, a more perfect life inside. Once we are perfect inside, our outside life will be perfect too. We can use our wisdom and power inside to make our work more efficient, faster and more beneficial to the world. So actually, if we want to be in any important position or to be successful in any field, we must get the proper power to work for us, not our minds. There are two levels of power: the first level, the power level, is the mind. The other higher level is all grace, love and miracles. By miracles, I don’t mean changing the weather but we can do that too!

Scientists have proven that we only use 5% of our brain. Fancy if we could use 100%! The one who can use 100% of his brain, that is a Christ, a Buddha, a Lao-tzu or whomever you believe is the greatest brain power in the world. They are the ones who know the secret power in the world. They are the ones who know the secret access to the whole kingdom of our intelligence, what we call the Kingdom of God. Everything lays within ourselves. No one has been born without this Kingdom of God, just like the waves born from the ocean. Now, is there a way to gain control of this 100% of our intelligence? Yes, there are many ways, some take longer than others, some are more difficult than others. Some people do prayers, fasting, austerities. This we read in book of ancient wisdom, how people sacrificed everything to find God. But nowadays, if we follow this rigorous path, it is too hard, too time-consuming. We cannot just go in the jungle and leave society behind. In the ancient times, people had less desires and less comforts in life. Nowadays, we have more temptations due to comfort. They had less temptations and more free time to practice and find God.

How to find God? By reverting to the principles, that is, all loving, all forgiving, all compassion and all wisdom, by repenting our previous misdeeds committed through ignorance, and by resolving not to commit them again. With such a true repentance, the light of God will sprout forth again, and all our past sins will be forgiven. That is the true baptism; not by water, but by the Holy Spirit, by the light of wisdom and logic. That is why nowadays when we are baptized by water, we do not see any light from God, and we do not feel free of our sins, wisdom is not opened for us, and deep repentance is not evoked in our souls.

It is not as difficult to find God as it is to make money, I may tell you! When I was earning money, it was very difficult, working very hard 8 to 10 hours a day, and even that we squander away very fast. But if we are careful, we can make ends meet and save a little bit more for old age. But if we find the Kingdom of God, it lasts forever. Whatever intelligence, wisdom, happiness, joy we find, it will always be ours, never, ever will it be squandered way, never, ever can anyone steal it away from us.

Everyone has the inborn heaven because the heaven is within us. Everyone has it and can find it. This I may assure you, that you may find it also, and immediately. The moment you want it you will get is as quickly as that. But this nature has to be nourished every day, just like seeds need to be watered in order to grow. You can know your Buddha nature today, but you will become Buddha after some practice. Because we have been ignorant for so long, it takes a long, long time to wash out our habits, our lack of confidence in ourselves. We are used to people telling us what to do, that we are sinful, etc. After we get enlightened our head becomes clearer, we will experience how great we are, we will become more confident. We will know day after day with the practice of the Quan Yin Method that we are truly Christ, Christ-like or God-like, because God made man in His own image. He didn’t make man to become a slave, we and God are made of the same essence, the only difference is whether or not we find it. God make everyone equally, some people found it and became great like Christ, like Buddha, and others have not found it and groveled in darkness life after life.
