My secret in spiritual practice is: There is no secret! (Master and 
            audience laugh.) I am really very naive! In the past, I gave myself 
            totally to God and to my Master when He was alive. After He was gone, 
            I began to regard everyone as my Master. I believe very much that 
            my Master takes care of me at all times. Wherever I go, He takes care 
            of me. No one can hurt me. Therefore, I trust everyone. 
          I treat everyone well, in the way I treated my Master, not because 
            I respect him as a person, but because I can see the Master inside 
            everyone. Very clearly I can see one's inner God Nature. I see God's 
            Light shining everywhere. All sentient beings possess God's Nature. 
            Everything is the manifestation of the highest Master.
          But this you cannot imitate, because you have not yet reached this 
            level. So it is better to be discreet. I am still around! Having faith 
            in me is enough for you. If your heart gets too distracted, you cannot 
            practice with undisturbed attention. If you do not believe in me, 
            then sever the connection. Go believe in someone else, and serve him 
            with undisturbed attention. Follow his words. Try and see if there 
            are any results. It is better this way. Do not stand with your feet 
            on two different boats; you will fall into the sea after a while.
          I cannot speak of the secret in my spiritual practice. The fact is 
            that I have no secret. Perhaps the only secret is my naivety! God 
            looks after naive people. Because they are as helpless as a baby, 
            everyone wants to protect them. When we see an abandoned and helpless 
            baby, we quickly pick him up even if we are not his parents. Seeing 
            him cry, we pat him. Seeing that he is hungry, we quickly feed him. 
            This is because a baby is too innocent and clumsy. Therefore, everyone 
            wants to look after him.
          Perhaps my secret is just "naivety." When we are so naive, 
            God takes care of us. Then we are always by Hier side, because Hes 
            will not leave us. We are just too naive. We will die if Hes leaves 
            us. We look after a baby who is too little, innocent, and unable to 
            do anything, and are constantly by his side, protecting him twenty-four 
            hours a day. If we are like babies, then we are together with God 
            always, and everything is done by the "grown-up." 
          I rely on God's power to transmit the Truth to you. Everything I 
            do is done by God, not by this layperson. It is safer, because the 
            layperson may make mistakes, but God will not. As the saying goes, 
            "The wise looks like a fool." If we are foolish to that 
            degree, God cannot ignore us. Hes will do everything, and we will 
            not err.
          When I was a disciple and was misunderstood or framed by fellow practitioners, 
            I would just ignore them. I thought, "My Master knows all. He 
            will handle it." I had great faith and did not complain or try 
            to explain myself. I completely placed myself - thoughts, words and 
            actions - and my life - past, present and future - in the hands of 
            my Master. So I felt safe, like a baby, without having to do anything 
            on my own initiative. Perhaps this is my secret. At that time I felt 
            very safe without having to take responsibility. Therefore, I was 
            very relaxed, with no sorrow or worries "because my Master knows 
            all. He is the greatest." I felt like that in my heart.
          I have never felt sorrow until now. Previously things were perfect 
            when, as a student, I left everything to Master's arrangements. There 
            was nothing to complain about because I knew in my heart that He would 
            take care of me. This is the only secret I have: total faith. If you 
            do not have faith in me, then have faith in the highest God, the highest 
            Buddha. Hes can see all the actions of us sentient beings and will 
            take care of everything. Hes really will!
