Don’t constantly ask Master for help, for everything to go smoothly, for everything to be good, for good health, for business to be good; that’s not so good. It’s good for us to have some obstacles, only then do we have the need to strive. That’s how our willpower gets stronger, and how our determination to seek the Tao (the Way) becomes strong. If the world is all good, then it’s already Heaven; nobody would practice spirituality. Isn’t it true that when we’re happy, it rarely occurs to us to meditate? (Yes.) (Yes.)

[…] If your karmic hindrances from all past lives are still there, you still owe money, and have many other obstacles, then how can you be liberated in one lifetime? […]

I didn’t know that before. even when I was a layperson, I wasn’t aware of such painful situations. Wow! From the time I took on disciples until now, there’s no hardship I haven’t endured. I rarely have fun, because for me, there’s not much fun in the world. Nothing in this world is fun at all. Sometimes I just hang out with you guys; sometimes I go along with you guys tolerantly. Sometimes I have fun with you happily, that depends on the situation, but only rarely. […]
