◆「為了能上天堂，我們必須調整朝向善良的品質，朝向這個世界肯定的一面，這是很合邏輯的。我們愈步向善良，愈接近善良的品質，我們就會愈提昇至這種天堂的品質，就愈接近天堂。」
"In
order to reach heaven, it is logical, now we know that we
have to tune into goodness, to the positive part of the
world. And the more we step into goodness, the nearer the
goodness, the more we merge into this heavenly quality and
the more we are near to heaven."
◆「天堂有兩種，一種是短暫的，一種是永恆的。所謂的短暫的天堂可以藉由行善避惡、懺悔、信仰某些宗教或信仰上帝、禱告、誦經，並且儘可能依據經典過生活而得到。另外一種天堂，或所謂的究竟天國是永恆、持續不滅的，要成就這種天國需要更多的努力，需要我們內在的上帝或佛性、佛祖的恩典。」
"There
are two kinds of heavens. One is temporary and one is permanent.
The so-called temporary heaven can be earned by doing good
deeds, by avoiding evil, and by practicing religious penance
or believing in some religion or the God of your faith,
by prayers, reading scriptures, and trying to live accordingly
as much as you can. Another kind of heaven, or kingdom,
or what we call the ultimate Kingdom of God, is the permanent,
eternal, everlasting one that requires more effort and that
requires the grace of the Almighty, the God nature, or the
God within us."
