Let’s talk about how to give your old broom new life. When a broom is worn out, it not only looks bad, but is difficult to use. Instead of tossing out that old broom, simply wrap a rubber band around the bristles, several centimeters from the bottom, and leave them for around a day to reshape them. This will help the bristles realign and make the broom usable once again.
Now, it’s time to pick up that good mood receiver and answer, as the joke of the day is calling us. This one’s entitled “Noise-cancelling Bagpipes.”
A few weeks after a Scottish exchange student started at an American college, his mother called to see how he was doing:
“How is everything, Marvin?”
“Oh, my neighbors are so noisy. They bang on the wall and yell all night.”
“Wow, how do you put up with it?”
“Well, I just ignore them and continue playing my bagpipes.”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Ting-Li in China:
Hallo, Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai and the Supreme Master TV team! At noon on March 21, 2023, I came to the small bridge on a canal where I often meditated last year. As I sat down, I was accompanied by four or five magpie- and bird-people. They are there every time we meditate.
While entering deep meditation, I suddenly heard many magpie- and bird-people singing so loudly that it overwhelmed me. I slightly opened my eyes and saw dozens of magpie-people and groups of bird-people perching on the small bridge. I had never seen such a scene. In their chirping and singing, I gradually got into Samadhi. I saw (in meditation) arrays of magpie-people radiating white Light. They said in unison, “The magpie family welcomes you.” At that time, one of the magpie-people said, “I’m magpie-mother. I brought three nests of the same family here to listen to Master Ching Hai’s lectures.” “Master Ching Hai, famous in the Universe. Quan Yin family, overcomes all obstacles. Be Vegan, Make Peace.”
At that moment, groups of bird-people danced over the canal. The leader of the dancers was a big crested bird-person who hovered for some moments and instantly turned into a white angel soaring into the sky… Suddenly, there was a flopping sound in the lake. The fish-people, one after another, were jumping happily out of the sparkling water. Two red carp-people jumped out of the water and said loudly, “May Master Ching Hai be healthy so that She can fulfill the noble mission for which She came to Earth! Thank You, Master Ching Hai, for being a voice for the animal-people and for all Your care and dedication for us. We love You forever, Master Ching Hai!
Thank you, disciple of Master Ching Hai. You’ve saved our lives several times. Here we especially express our gratitude!” I was very moved in my heart.
There are often people fishing by the canal. I always try to persuade them to leave when I encounter them. When it doesn’t work, I would follow what Master once said to the fish-people: “Stay around me. Never go to bite the bait. They want to take your life. Don’t go.” This is also the reason why I often meditated there. Animal-people all know to listen to Supreme Master Ching Hai’s lectures. Worldly people, wake up quickly. Stop torturing and killing the noble animal-people. Turn the Earth into a vegan paradise where humankind and animal-people can coexist! Respectfully, Ting-Li, a disciple from China
Splendid Ting-Li, Our appreciation for your heartline. We should not be surprised by your story, as the people of the bird and fish kingdoms are also drawn to the all-Powerful Loving Light of our Beloved Master. We are forever blessed, and delightedly thank the animal-persons for bringing us joy too. May you and abundant China be protected in the Sun’s radiance and forever know inner peace and harmony. In Celestial beauty, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master has this happy reply: “Beaming Ting-Li, thank you for relating your experiences. I could see myself beside the lovely canal with you and the beautiful bird- and fish-people. I have often suggested that initiates meditate outside. All beings, this realm and beyond, can benefit from the God Power that we are so blessed to know through our spiritual practice. We receive much from Mother Nature’s creative bounty and are indeed the most fortunate on Earth to know the Grace of the Divine. May you and the fine Chinese people respect, and be blessed by the most benevolent Cosmic Beings. Love you always.”
