What is  the Eight Fasts? Tow good friends practiced the Eight Fasts together. How come one became a dignified king, while the other fell and reincarnated in the dragon class suffering hardships and calamities?  What kind of affinity  did they have and practices have they been through to become devas with radiating bodies? Finally they still had to come down to beg the Buddha to teach them the liberation method to get out of the sea of suffering.  Listen to Supreme Master Ching Hai telling the legendary story of two Brahmans practicing the Eight Fasts.

      Being  a human being, we should have virtues and mercy.  We should be compassionate and human qualities .  This is  being perfect with virtue and blessings.  Thus, we have done “human path” very well with perfection.   However, we still have to practice spiritually on the highest path.  Only then, we can become the perfect being completely.  Only then can we  say that we have attained the Tao or the Buddha-hood, or we have returned to or reached the Kingdom of God.
