Be
a Shining Example
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Taipei, 7-day
Retreat, Formosa, We ought to practice spiritually and
set a shining example for the world. We shouldn't blame society for being
chaotic, or blame others for being bad. Instead, we should blame ourselves
for failing to set a shining, glorious example. So we should first cultivate
ourselves and then other people will follow us. Begin with yourself first
instead of waiting for others to do it. That's why the Chinese say: First
cultivate yourself and manage your family before going on to govern the
country and bringing peace to the whole world. This is indeed the truth!
