best, the purest motive, will attract all the goodness
in the universe, all the purest things, and more than
we can ask for." (Originally in English)

"People
with pure hearts can attain ultimate enlightenment.
The most important thing is to have a pure heart without
discriminating between suffering and happiness. Do
you know what the Zen Master meant by this? For those
who discriminate this is very difficult to understand.
What he meant was that for those who are pure and
contented without discrimination it is easier to attain
Tao. Lao Tze also said that we ought to rejuvenate
and become children so that we can attain ultimate
enlightenment. Jesus Christ also mentioned, “except
you become a child, you cannot enter the kingdom of
God.” Buddhism and Taoism says the same thing,
so does Bible and Islam. Islam teaches its followers
that never judge other people. Whatever one is is
what God wants him or her to be. That is to say we
should become childlike and never judge other people."
