Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai
Group Meditation in Seattle, WA, U.S.A., April 7, 1993
(Originally in English)
Q:
I love my original master very deeply and usually recite his name. If
I continue to do this, will I lose Your love and blessing? I love both
of you. There's no difference because without my original Master I would
not be alive to sit here and listen to Your lecture.
M:
I'm not in competition with anyone.
You can love ten more masters if you wish. No problem. Just be enlightened.
That is the best way to show gratitude to your previous master. You
don't even need to be grateful to me, or anything. Whatever you do,
I love you all the same. It's you who probably do not love yourself
because you think, "I do that very badly; I do this very badly."
And it's you yourself, who stop feeling loved.
