Excerpts from Supreme Master Ching Hai's Lecture:
We can make Heaven on earth all the time. People really don’t know that. Yes, really, Heaven is here anytime, anytime we want. And we can be in Heaven all the time.

It’s getting better and better every time and at every retreat. Isn’t that true? Yes, do you feel it? So you see, not only are we better, the whole population is becoming better, and the whole planetary atmosphere is becoming better. It really works. Thank God. Please don’t forget to thank God Almighty, to thank all the Masters of the past and present who have sacrificed so much, who have loved us so much since the beginning of time and have blessed us immensely, continuously, so that we can always walk peacefully and courageously, in whichever way we have chosen for ourselves. Blessed be all these noble beings here and in other worlds. We will always be grateful in our hearts. Please remember that the more we’re grateful, the more we’ll be blessed. The more we remember their loving kindness, the more we’ll also be endowed with loving kindness. The more we’re thankful for the peace they’ve bestowed upon this plant and upon our path, the more peace we’ll realize, the more blessing and the more bliss. Everything better and better will come our way, even on this physical planet, even in this difficult situation of the globe. We’ll always walk in peace and protection. And we’ll know that. We’ll feel that. We’ll definitely realize that every minute of our day. And that’s what I do.

Doesn't matter in spiritual or worldly work, smile is always a key to success. When you smile you convince yourself that you are happy. You could infect people with your depressing mood. No matter how hard you work, always try to smile; because if you cry or if you frown, it's still the same.
