Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I know that everyone of us is working to improve ourself. The question is “improving what?”

Most of us try to improve doctoring skills, lawyering skills, engineering skills, selling skills, teaching skills… but the most important skill, the mother of al other skills, few people pay serious attention to. That is the skill to keep a pure heart. Continue reading What are you improving ? →

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Life is ups and downs constantly.

When you’re on the way up, you jump around happily. When you’re down, you lie on bed feeling close to death.

That is normal, but no one feels normal, especially when they go down. In addition, everyone will agree with me that your tough days are much more numerous than your easy days. Say, marriage, the peak of marriage life is the wedding celebration and the honeymoon. From the peak, you can’t go any higher and can only go down. Two persons living together may have all kinds of problems very quickly and these problems come in long series – one gives birth to the next, each problem is a mother of a long chain of childrens, and each child soon becomes a mother too. Problems can spread with a geometric progression aka exponential growth. Continue reading Ups and downs →

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Many people do want to learn how to live a positive spiritual like. The problem is that they read about so many things, which overwhelm them. Just confusion and fear.

But the learning is much simpler.

• Jesus says two sentences called Two Greatest Commanments to convey all his teachings: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37-39).

These two Greatest Commandments go together: you need to love God, before you can love all people, because many people are unloveable – without God you shall not have enough strength to love all people.

• The Buddhists say there are 84 thousand methods (pháp môn) to achieve Enlightenment. You just need one, say, non-attachment aka non-grasping aka non-sticking. If you don’t attach to anything, you shall be Enlightened. Ưng vô sở trụ nhi sanh kỳ tâm – non-attaching to anywhere, the Enlightened heart shall be born.

Just focus on one method and don’t worry about other thousands of methods, you shall not be confused and overwhelmed and shall reach Enlightenment.

• Or you can practice honesty about everything to everyone at everytime, here and now. You shall gain Enlightenment and purify your heart.

These are spiritural rules to help you gain Enlightenment and suscess in whatever you do, be that selling bánh mì or teaching or doctoring.

The way of positive spirituality is extremely simple. You want to be successful in your soul and in your work, you shall succeed, however you define success.

With compassion,

Hoành

Dear brothers and sisters,

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,

God gives us reputation and God takes away,
God gives us wealth and God takes away,
God gives us family and God takes away,
God gives us health and God takes away… Continue reading Naked I came and naked I will depart →
