Casual conversations revealed the bits and pieces of selflessness of Supreme Master Ching Hai. Her daily meals consist of brown rice, mung beans and sesame only, so she can dedicate all her time and energy for the well-being of sentient beings. Her life is the great example of a spiritual practitioner. Master also told disciples a story of a Sufi Master and his different types of disciples. Master pointed out that apart from the friendship or parental love we look for in a master, we should also look for something else, “So that we don’t always rely on the Master just for this sentimental comfort, but we go forward, and grow up, and be our self. Be the Great Self again.”
