Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Probably you have heard “Human has unlimited potential” or “human has unlimited power” or “We can use the unlimited power of the universe” or “We can use The Force of the universe” …

These ideas are not someone’s daydreaming. Most spiritual traditions understand the super-power of the human heart. Buddhism talks about the Buddhahood in us. The Abrahamic tradition (Judaism, Christianity – Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant – and Islam) says we are children of God with God’s Holy Spirit in us. Hinduism says each of us comes from God and is part of God and will return to God as one with God.

Even the New Age tradition talks about The Force in the universe and our ability to operate The Force, for example, through the Law of Attraction (Luật Hấp Dẫn).

The tragedy is: While all the Masters keep reminding us of our high worth and power, we look down on ourselves as cheap and worthless.

The Buddha has a story: A rich man visits his old-time friend who is now very poor. The rich man wants to give his friend a high-priced precious stone, but he thinks his friend will not accept it, so he quietly drops the stone into the poor man’s coach. The poor man doesn’t know that, so he continues living his days in the same poor way as before. Until, one day he discovers a precious stone in his pocket.

That is our lot – we are much richer and more powerful than we know of ourselves. We need to know that we have a precious stone in our pocket to use as capital. That precious stone is our Buddhahood, our Holy Spirit from God, our connection with the Buddha, our connection with God.

That precious stone is the capital for us to live in this life, both spiritually and materially. When we know how to use this capital, we will grow unlimitedly and develop our unlimited potential.

Wish we all become rich.

With compassion,

Hoành
