Methods of Healing Illnesses

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai at a group meditation,
Hsihu, Formosa on June 11, 1995.
(Originally in Chinese)

There is a method that heals all illnesses; that is, meditation and loving others, two simple things only. If we just sit there every day worrying about this and that illness, we get sicker and sicker, feeling worse and worse as we practice. Some modern scientists have stated that we should not find an excuse to stay home just because we suffer from a little cold or flu. It is not necessary! Just go out and work. If necessary, take some medicine, wear more clothes to keep warm, and then continue with your work. In this way your system will improve as you force yourself to resist your sickness.

Help other people if you have time. Help your neighbors or orphans and widows. Observe their needs and render help accordingly. Don't spend time worrying about your own feelings; because, the more you worry, the more exhausted and sick you get. It is good for us to think of others. Should we die while we are caring about other people, it is also a great honor. Is this not so? I have told you many stories; you should practice their principles in your daily lives.
