  • Summary

                 

Highlights:

“The higher the status is, the bigger the pitfall will be", so how can those responsible for working for Master and for the public avoid being trapped by power? Supreme Master Qing Hai reminds us that for the ordinary people with no power or responsibility, whatever their personality or ego is, they would not cause too much loss for the society; but for those with some status or holding responsibilities for many people, it will not be good if they have certain qualities. For most of our fellow initiates, problems come from too much talkingand showing-off about their own qualities. They pay so much attention to it and think so much about it everyday that they ignore others. As a result, their ego keeps growing. Those people seem to have the passion for serving others, but in fact, what they want is not to serve others, but to make many people know that they are something.

Vanity is really dangerous and scary. Our group needs talents and that's for our group's sake and to serve ourselves. So, those who have something to offer, offer it. But if we ourselves are not pure, the outcome of our work will be polluted. Our fellow initiates, no matter how great or small our responsibilities are, should be truly strict with ourselves. Otherwise, we would damage Master's work more than help it.
