—The Keys to Becoming “Disaster-Proof”

Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Hsihu, Formosa,
June, 10, 1995 (Originally in English) Videotape #479


The best protection for us is the Quan Yin Method, and the more we meditate the more “proof” we are—fat-proof, skinny-proof, water-proof, fire-proof because we’re protected by this inner power. Otherwise, what else can I tell you? There are so many crazy things in this world such as pollution and all kinds of things that we can never stop. Even if we could be successful in stopping humankind from destroying the world, the law of karma sometimes destroys the world anyway by flood, earthquake or all kinds of other disasters.

Each time we hear in the news that environmental protectionists are protesting human pollution and deforestation and so on, we think it’s already terrible. But every year, disastrous fires burn many, many thousands of acres of land and timber. So humans and God, each and together, destroy the land, the forests and the environment, and where would we run to if God decided to destroy our planet, for example? One by one, where would we go?

Just stopping human beings is already very difficult. For instance, many ignorant people sneak behind the law and destroy forests, land and rivers, contaminating the sea and water everywhere. So it’s good that we have environmental protection from different organizations trying to guard the earth. That’s fine and good, but even if we succeed in stopping all this damage, there’s nothing we can do when God decides our time is up or that the forest’s time is up. So it’s very difficult.

Therefore, the best thing we can do is to “proof” ourselves with our inner power of protection. That way, wherever we go—Heaven, hell or earth—we’re safe; we’re at peace within ourselves. Otherwise, disasters are not only man-made. Most of the time they’re God-made or karma-made like “Made in Karma.” (Master and everyone laugh.) Disasters can be made from karma. If it’s made in Formosa, we can stop it. If it’s made in the U.S., we can do something; we can write to Congress or sue the president or something. But if it’s made in Heaven or “Made in Karma,” then forget it. The only thing we can do is repent, mend our way of life and meditate to get more inner power protection and wisdom. That’s the only way we’re safe. And if we have to leave this world, we’re happy. It’s fine; we’ll go to a better one for sure—that I promise you. (Applause)
