The dog knows nothing else but love. Because when you’re with animals, you just feel so lovely and you feel happy and you don’t want anything else. We could spend time with animals forever. They are so beautiful. They’re so pure. Thank you very much for coming to the retreat, benefitting yourselves, your countries and the world. Laugh more and your heart would be open. But please don’t laugh at the wrong time. Sometimes, when I was talking about something sad or not very funny, some people still laughed, Laugh at the right time. If you laughed at the wrong time, people would think that you have no sympathy, and wonder why you laughed when he said something woeful.
Have more humility. You still have to pray all the time to Masters in the ten directions of the past, present and future to help us to break through quickly. And you still have to help whoever needs help. Helping others is the same as helping yourself. Have humility all the time. At any time, do not think we are great already. That’s how we can make progress. The ego is the biggest obstacle. Things are not so easy in this era. The more advanced the technology is, the more difficult for us to practice spiritually. So, in this age, we can only rely on God and Buddha to bless and help us. We cannot rely on ourselves too much. Of course, we try our best, but no matter how hard we try, there’s nothing to be arrogant about.
