I would like to share a winter gardening tip if you grow your own lavender. Winter may be harsh and even life-threatening to this special fragrant species. Inadequate or excessive pruning makes the plant vulnerable to extreme weather. If not protected, the combination of constantly damp soil and freezing temperatures might turn the stems of the herb woody and the crown gray, causing it to appear lifeless. Snap off a stem from the woody head to determine its vitality; if it does not break easily and is green with fragrant leaves, revival is possible. Lavender that is on the verge of dying can be preserved by transferring it into a pot and bringing it indoors. Maintain suitable light, temperature, and humidity levels while keeping the soil slightly damp. Signs of regrowth should appear by spring.
The guffaw cameras are all set for the joke of the day to appear. And here it comes! It’s entitled “Kneeling.”
The son asked his father: “Dad, did you kneel down when you proposed to mom?”
“No, Son, I didn't.”
“Why not, Dad?”
“Because your mom said it wasn't necessary. She said after getting married, I would have plenty of opportunities to kneel!”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Hua-Juan in China:
Hallo, Respected and Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai and the Supreme Master TV team! My husband and I are both Master’s disciples. During the Lunar New Year Festival last year, we went to have fun in a park on a newly-built small island at the seaside. I used to wear Master’s Celestial Jewelry with Blessing and protection Power every time I went out, but I forgot to bring it with me that time. My husband reminded me, “You can turn on your phone to play Supreme Master TV, which will also provide great Blessing Power.” So we turned on Supreme Master TV on our phones as we entered the small island.
The island was newly built and the magnetic field was very good. After touring for a little while, I found a small pavilion facing a spacious grassland and sat down with my husband to meditate. In less than a minute, I entered Samadhi. At my wisdom-eye, there were flashes of Light appearing in sequence, purple-red color, orange color, and white color… Ten minutes later, my husband said, “Let’s get up.” So I went out of Samadhi. I was a little curious why as soon as I sat down on the island, the Light appeared, and it just appeared in red, orange, and white colors one after another. Because of my busy work, usually I don’t have special visions when meditating on the inner Heavenly Light, and it is almost impossible to see the Light continuously changing so quickly.
We then continued to stroll around the small island. When we arrived at a sea of bougainvillea flowers, I suddenly realized: The park was Bougainvillea Park, and the colors of the bougainvillea flowers on the island were mainly purple-red, orange, and white. Probably the bougainvillea god sensed the Blessing of Master’s Supreme Master TV and gave me a gift! Wherever we go, we try to play Supreme Master Television on our phones, it will bring incredible Blessing Power! May everyone remember this small tip in daily life!
Thank You, Master, and the Supreme Master TV team, for your love and selfless dedication! May Master also receive greetings and love from the bougainvillea god. May You be beautiful, happy and healthy forever! Hua-Juan from China
Joyful Hua-Juan, Our appreciation for your delightful story and the beautiful picture of the flowers. The world is indeed full of wonders, big and small. It is good if we see and appreciate the many blessings and miracles around us at all times. May you and regal China be sheltered by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Supreme Master TV team
P.S. Master shares Her good wishes with you: “Gentle Hua-Juan, it’s so nice to receive a lighthearted and lovely story like yours. So often I have to concentrate on difficult things, so it is truly a nice treat to focus on the delightful aspects of life, which are all around us. Nature is a vast treasure trove of blessings for humanity and all of life, as your inner vision clearly shows. We must remember that life is naturally Divine, and only when we leave this natural order do we leave the Divine Light. Now is the time to return. Remember to thank God Almighty for World Vegan, World Peace and all souls’ liberation. May you and the loyal Chinese people enjoy peace in the protection of the Buddhas.”
