 Aphorisms 

The person who enjoys
the greatest freedom is the one
who is most responsible;
because he/she is responsible,
he/she is free.

 Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai

Life does not start here
when we are born, or end when we are dead.
And enlightenment is only the beginning.
The journey will continue, full of wonder
and miraculous encounters and discovery
for those who truly want to know
the miracle of life and the real love
from the universe and from your heart.

 Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai

The more good you do for the world,
the more good you will get. The more
happiness you bestow on other people,
the more happiness you will gain.
