Supreme Master Ching Hai: I am very grateful to courageous leaders in the world for stepping out of their boundary and to speak out for the sake of everyone. Even if the public does not appreciate their goodwill, Heaven will take note.

And they will have a great reward hereafter. It is of course very, very difficult to be in the position of authority. To be a leader is to be endowed with bravery, compassion and nobility. That’s why you are a leader. It’s not easy, of course, to be in the position of a leader. That’s why leaders are few, yeah? You see in a nation, there’s only one king, one queen, some princess, some prince, one president, one prime minister. Very few leaders, compared to the multitude of this world.

But fewer even still are brave leaders, courageous leaders, righteous leaders and wise leaders. To such a wise and courageous one, we offer full support and respect.

We pray that Heaven give them more strength, more wisdom to carry out their noble duty. Because as I told you, leaders are few. And fewer still are those who are wise and courageous. Being a leader, we must know what is good for our subjects and what is not. And what is good, we have to encourage them to do, facilitate them to do. And what is bad, we have to stop, to protect them. That is the true meaning of a leader.
