You Can Raise Lazarus!

A barefoot doctor of China in 1960s: Even though she was a Communist, I believe Jesus worked through her to help many people.

When your friend is in distress, don't dig deeply into her problems.

It'll just make a small problem so big that she might feel a need to isolate herself from the entire human community.

When you judge someone's problem, you are acting as a priest who pronounces her unclean of spiritual leprosy.

When your friend is in distress, find together what resources she has so that she can find a better way.

By doing this, you can't only heal the small leprosy of her mind but also open spiritually blind eyes and even raise a dead spirit.

When you empower someone through reminding her of her own resources, Jesus is working through us.

And we are saved when Jesus works through a lot of people around us and remind us that we are already saved.

And remember, He wouldn't only work through Christians. Even an atheist or a Communist can be His instrument. So whoever empowers you, accept him as Jesus' hands.

Thank You!

This lotus flower is called Inner Lignt.

Thank you Mom for suggesting a plastic surgery!
But it does not matter. I can live with this face.
Regardless of how far I was away from being handsome,
There always were some girls who liked me, anyway.

Thank you Dad for suggesting a name change!
But it does not matter. I've picked up a middle name.
Even though my legal name does not sound good,
I can simply use another name for jobs and with friends.

Thank you Teachers for denying my national identity!
But it does not matter any more. I emigrated.
Because you stripped away my sense of belonging
I have come to feel the entire world as my home.

Thank you all for not liking my surface identity!
Because all your suggestions have enabled me
To explore my True Self deep inside of me.

Well, frankly speaking I wish you'd been kinder to me.
But even though your words were harsh
Now I know they came from love, anyway.

So I forgive you now.

Thank you for opening a door to the Truth for me!
Now I know I am not just what I am seen to you all...

Be Your Own Angel

A person receives Wisdom from his Guardian Angel,
but this angelic being is actually his Higher Self.
- Silvanus (a Gnostic sage)

Even when you cannot be short-listed for a job offer
You don't have to be disappointed at all!
It wasn't a right job for you, anyway.

You still don't know that you weren't rejected.
Actually you rejected the job
Because you knew what you wanted better than they did.

But you simply don't know you already knew...

Even if I still feel it was a right job for you
You don't have to be disappointed at all!
You weren't ready yet so go on preparing, anyway.

If you want a good job or a loving boyfriend,
Don't expect them to be your angels.
But you will get all these very soon
After you find a pair of wings on you soul.

But you simply don't know what you already have.

Find an angel deep inside of you.
And be an angel to the ones you love.
Then you'll find a legion of angels
Flying towards you!

A Lot Help to the Holy Spirit

Rain over Roi Et, the Northeastern Thailand

When you show your weak side
You do a lot help to the Holy Spirit.
When you show you are soft,
When you are willing to lose some face,
You can hear much more clearly
The small voice that comes from deep within.

When your mighty armour crumbles down
It's the time when the love of Holy Spirit
Starts to permeate like gentle rain Into your tired and hardened soul.

Your call for help is the reminder to yourself
That you have a residency in the Heaven.

The pain in this mind is so apparent, when it is uncovered, that its need of healing cannot be denied. (A Course In Miracles, Text Ch.13.III.6:5)

A Face In a Mirror (The Heart Sutra)

色不異空，空不異色，色即是空，空即是色。(心經)
Form is not different from emptiness; emptiness is not
different from form. (The Heart Sutra)

Whatever you see in her
Is just a mirror image of yourself.
When you don't like what you see
Just change what you think about it

Whatever you see in her
Has actually been created by you.
Whatever you see is your interpretation.
So if you don't like it
Just change it into something you can like.

Let It Be (Mt. 6:34)

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. (Matthew 6:34)

When you cannot push something further
Simply pull it back a bit.
When you can neither push nor pull,
Just leave it there for a while
And let it take care of itself.

With too many captains on board
A ship would end up
With climbing a hill.

When you cannot push any further
Another push only stagnates the energy
So let the situation takes care of itself.

Too many thoughts and too many words
Tend to make the situation very sour.
So let it be.
