Aphorisms
By The Supreme Master Ching Hai

Why is it easier to become what we call negative power, or we call devil in western terminology? It's because we are lazy to check our thinking.

(Originally in English)

If we are always magnanimous to others and forgive them, even when others have treated us badly we still treat them well and love them, then this is the heart of a child.

If we preserve this heart of a child, no matter how old we have grown, we are still God's children. We will not go to hell, or encounter any unfavorable situations. Our life will be very smooth. At least our heart will be forever happy. We will have an open mind. Any problems or obstacles would not make us feel greatly frustrated or upset. We would be very carefree, without burdening attachments on our mind. This is the heart of a child. It is not true that we cannot be children again after we have grown up.
