◆「『開悟』(Enlighten) 這個字即是指內在的光--上帝的光，祂的強度由微光到無數個太陽那麼亮，經由內在的光和音，我們才認識上帝。」
 
"The inner Light, the Light of God, is the same light referred to in the word "enlightment." Its intensity can range from a subtle glow to the brilliance of many millions of suns. It is through the inner Light and Sound that we come to know God."

◆「當我們和上帝深入溝通，當我們真心想回歸源頭時，上帝的光和音就會出現。它有如閃電，有如幾千個太陽，有如五彩繽紛的彩虹，有如美麗的電光，它震撼你的全身每個細胞、每根神經，使你身、心、靈煥然一新，宛如新生嬰兒一般，很天真但很聰明，有耐心又有智慧，非常活潑，反應又快。」

"The light and sound of God come when we are in deep communion with Hirm, when we sincerely want to go back to where we came from. The light comes like a flash, like lighting, like thousands of suns, like colorful rainbows, like a beautiful electric shock. It thrills your whole body; it thrills every nerve, every cell in your body and renews your body, spirit and mind, and makes you become like a newborn baby. You become innocent, but intelligent; you become patient but very wise, very active and very fast reacting."

◆「我們修行的功德都可以分享給大家，沒有什麼是我們個人的財產，我們是有個人，不過大家也都得到一樣。像太陽它自己照亮下去，它不會失去它的亮度，不過大家都有得到利益。」

"We can share our spiritual merits with others; we have no private property. We are individuals but we all get the same thing. The sun shines without losing its brilliance, and everyone gets its benefit. The same goes for Quan Yin practitioners: Others receive our blessings without us incurring any losses."

◆「開悟是必要的。『開悟』的意思是認識我們內在的光，內在的光能指引我們生活中的每個腳步朝向正確的目的地。上帝的聲音、音流、振動力或天堂的音樂，會傳注給我們宇宙的智慧，並會引導我們的生活直到我們完成加持這個世界的工作。」

"Enlightenment is a must. Enlightenment means knowing the light within ourselves, EN-LIGHTENED. The light within us will guide every footstep in our life to the correct destination. The word of God, the sound, the vibration, the music of heaven will whisper to us all the wisdom in the universe, and what we can do in our daily lives until we fulfil our duty as the blessing givers of this Earth."
