In this video/audio, Supreme Master Ching Hai emphasizes the importance of “being strict and correct in moral standards”. She said, “We should not take, we should just give. You have to remember the five precepts.”

The motive of our action has to always be very pure and unconditional. The more you share, the richer you feel. We have to first check ourselves: Have we contributed anything? Are we worthy, or in a position, to criticize anyone at all? Do we do anything better than that person? If we don’t do anything good, then we are not worthy to even to open our mouths to say anything to anyone.

We should keep to our moral standards in any case. First, self-respect; second, freedom of the soul; third, benefit everybody else, including yourself. That’s true salvation in this world.
