همیشه خصوصیت شریف‌مان را به یاد داشته باشیم، قسمت ۱ از ۹

Try to be vegan and keep the Five Precepts. (Yes.) And the people who don’t follow me, try to keep the Five Precepts, so that you can be born as human again. Because these Five Precepts are for you to be human. If you drop “below” the Five Precepts’ standards, then you will be born as another species. Just like we have primary school and high school. You must have certain standards to be able to attend primary school. […] So, if you want to come back as a human; for example, you feel that following Madame Ching Hai, being vegan and meditating long hours are too hard, then you just keep the Five Precepts, it’s OK. Which means do not kill, do not lie, do not commit adultery – one husband and one wife only. Neither drinking alcohol nor gambling and all that. 

(Hallo, Master!) Hallo, auntie! (Yes. Since the day I met You until now, I did not get sick at all.) Wow, lucky you! (I am 96 years old this year, and still very healthy, Master. […] I had a dream in which the demons pulled me into a hole…) Is that so? (…and then they tortured me.) Oh, my gosh! (But since the day I wore Your picture, I don’t have any problems anymore. Whenever I had dreams, I saw myself flying, playing, swimming, riding in a car and all that.) […]

That old lady said she is 96 years old, so we have hope. There will be a few decades before we reach that age. So it is good that we still have many tens of years. My family, my clan lived a long time. My grandmother passed away when she was more than 100 years old. Like 105 years old. She lived very simple – ate vegan food, and recited Buddha’s Name all the time. And my parents are more than 80 years old; they are still alive and well. And healthy too. They might have high blood pressure or something, a little bit of problems from old age. I think I can live long too. (Yes.) What? Who knows, I may outlive you, guys. […]
