Excerpts from Supreme Master Ching Hai's lecture:

We always need protection because we're not at home here in this physical body. In this physica world we're not at home. That's why a lot of things happen to us. Sometimes people have negative powers possess them; sometimes disaster befalls them; sometimes other people abuse them because they misunderstand each other and they're all human together and haven't risen unto the higher level of consciousness. We always need protection, but the only true protection is God's protection. So you have to awaken the God within you and ask for protection from there; it's the highest protection! Most people don't remember that protection within themselves; so they go to seek anybody who can protect them. But the highest protection is within you. That's why I give people the way, I show people the way to awaken themselves and protect themselves. Because you're the only one that's with you twenty-four hours a day. No matter if there are bodyguards or policemen, they can't be with you twenty-four hours. You're the only one that's with you twenty-four hours a day. So you should be awakened within yourselves and find God, the protection.

We practice the Quan Yin Method to become enlightened, and not to turn into wood or stone. Our love, affection, and feeling for everything become more intense, because we are warmer, and more real and true to ourselves, without any obstruction from preconceived ideas. We become freer.
