Buddhist Stories

Take a look into the candid conversations between Supreme Master Ching Hai and Her disciples, on subjects ranging from spirituality to daily life, as well as rare insights into other realms beyond Earth. We must open our hearts to all kinds of noble influence, all kinds of noble company; we must take advantage of this chance. If we still believe that to improve our purity, to improve our wisdom is the highest purpose of humanity, then we must make effort. ~ Supreme Master Ching Hai (Vegan) World-renowned Humanitarian, Artist, and Spiritual Master

Buddhist Stories: The Better Wife, Part 3 of 4, Aug. 12, 2015

“Lady, you should know, this body is ephemeral. Today you may have it, tomorrow you might lose it. And during the time that we have it, it’s suffering. Today headaches, tomorrow a pain here, a cut here, there’s always suffering when we still have this body. After that the neighboring country still did not believe that this country was aw

But this is the problem, the talented or the trusted person is working so hard. It’s not like, OK, you are talented and you are good and then you are treated well. No, you work harder than everyone else. Much is expected from whom much is given. One day the prime minister called all the family members to come, and said, “Sons and family members, I am very old now

Before she went to the husband’s family, the mother said to her, “Hey, when you go to your husband’s family. You must remember, always wear beautiful clothes, and new. New and beautiful. You have to eat nice food, good food, tasty food. Every day you always have to look into the mirror. Don’t forget what I tell you.” OK, wow! This story is incredible.

I do love you. But it’s not the way that you think, like humans love each other. It’s not, it’s different, a little different, a big difference, OK. Maybe it doesn’t look like love, but it is real love. It’s different from human emotional love or attaching love. It’s quite different. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s love.

If you hear this sutra and respect it, then all the Buddhas protect you as well on your enlightenment path.

Amitabha Buddha is especially very famous, sometimes more famous than Shakyamuni Buddha. Many, for example, in Taiwan (Formosa), when they do a retreat with any master, they just recite, "Namo Amitabha Buddha" all the time. (Master, can I tell about what I think was a miracle for me?) Yeah, OK, your horse? We all like to hear miracles. Please te

Similar to Jesus or Buddha. Buddha also said He’s the Buddha, not because He’s proud or arrogant. I read all the sutras, I haven’t felt anything arrogant about Buddha. And I read the Bible. Whatever Jesus said is not arrogant or anything. He just told the truth. Anybody else wants to say something? Otherwise, I’ll read the joke last night

Whenever you see Buddha or sangha monks, then you should gaze with respect and love. Then later, you will be born in beautiful and dignified bodies.” After many, many years, this ho

I meditate in winter, summer, outside. I never have one cold, not even a runny nose or a sneeze, or maybe now and then, but because of dog hair. But I never get a cold. But every time at a retreat, in the middle of it, or just slightly after a few weeks, I’d have a cold or cough. But this is common. In India it’s very common for any guru to have a lot of coughing. And then they have to take medici

“Very early in the morning, （Buddha）took a bowl and robe and went straight to the house of the great female lay disciple. When the Teacher had finished His meal, the Teacher, with His own sweet voice, began the address of rejoicing. The lay disciple listened to the teaching of the Dharma and applauded the Teacher… Unable to control himself, he remarked, ‘She is my disciple no longer!’ And the nake

So outside practice is not always ideal. You have to renounce inside, truly renounce. You have or not have, it is the same to you, then it is really renunciation. This woman, out of purity and love for goodness and pureness of monkhood, she gave offering and took care of him. And then he became like a husband, like outside, like a normal husband, became jealous, controlling. So luckily this woman,

Of her nearest neighbors, those who went to hear the Buddha teach the Dharma returned praising the virtues of the Buddhas in manifold ways. She desired to go to the monastery and hear the Dharma herself.” That’s in In

We put up an umbrella, sunbrella, a big one, everyone sits under there or they go to the coffee shop or browse around the jewelry shop, the book shop and things like that, it's OK. I hope that all the monks change into a vegetarian diet,

When you know if it’s your ego raising its head up, then you ignore it; you say, “No, that’s not right.” Then you change to what you think is right. And swallow your pride; if you know you’re wrong, just apologize. If you know it’s not the correct way, then try to do the correct one again. Always try, be vigilant. That’s all we can do. Because the ego is born with us so that we make trouble, so th
