international gathering march 21 – april 9, 2012 count our blessings and be positive march 28, 2012 count our blessingsand be positive i don’t think i needany more of these rings, you know, i can “ring†thisand i can “ring†that, and oh, i’d “ring†this as well. no wonder quan yin bodhisattvahas one thousand arms.
there is something,something like that, she has to “ringâ€everything in, you know? yeah, my god. okay. well, i need thesebecause of all this, okay? “why she has so many things?†i have more,a lot more hidden somewhere. so many things.i even have to bring you this. do you watch other tv,other video? (yes.) yes? (yes.) just a little bit? (yes.)
never mind. what do you call thisin english? this? (bok choy.) bok choy? no, the bok choyis the bigger one and white. one person. (baby bok choy.) this is a baby bok choy? (yes.) really? chinese?english is baby bok choy? (yes.) this is okay to eat, if you want to. if you want to lessen other food that is hurting the plantswhen you cut,
this one doesn’t developbig consciousness yet. one of the things… add it to the list,okay? “baby bok choy.†and today, i have some new stufffor the aulacese (vietnamese), good news. you can eat rice paddy herb, okay? chrysanthemum greens, okay, aulacese coriander – leaves only,don’t cut the stem, okay? perilla, also leaves only, thorny coriander – leaves only,
fish mint – leaves only, basil, mint – leaves. okay? please look into a dictionaryand print it out. and for those whocannot meditate very well, because you came home tiredfrom work, and not just tired, but you brought work home,you know? disturbance from work,and not cooperation at work, complaining at work,you brought it home sometimes.
not in paper like i did,but in your head. you cannot forget right away. and the traffic jam,and the car broke down, and the neighbor, whatever, yes? so when you sit down and meditate, all these things are bothering you,including the marriage trouble, yes? and that is more immediate.oh! that’s difficult to forget. my god, just right hereand right there, and right here and right there.
you shake it, shake it,it won’t go away, too near for comfort. so maybe you can drinksome calming tea or something? don’t drink too much,you’ll sleep over next morning. and then your bosswill not be very happy. then you have another troubleto take home next day. or not just your boss. if you are your own boss,then maybe your business, you know, your clientand your workers will not be happy.
last night i wasn’t here not because i took sleeping teaor anything, no. i just could not come,you know, sometimes i can’t, you know already, right? (yes.) okay, now you knowthe bok choy baby. anybody want this? anybody want this one?no, you don’t. it’s only one, what to do? baby, baby, baby.
everybody wants you,nobody wants me. okay, i just throw it,and anybody gets it, they get it. okay, okay, okay,never mind, never mind, share it with your neighbors. my god, just a bok choy. it’s just a bok choy. okay, the list is longer. if somebody has timeyou can kind of, you can, transcribe it and print it.
already did, master. you did already?you have to add more. today’s aulacese coriander,rice paddy herb, bok choy... and translate it into english, okay? look into a dictionary for me, i can’t even bringa dictionary with me. everything is too much, everything too heavy,everything is no room. it’s good that we have clothes here.
otherwise, you probably will see mewith one pair of clothes every day. i have no time to… i have no room tobring clothes with me. so everywhere if i stay, i have a thousand keysfor a thousand places, and everywhere just a little clothes. before, when i worethe buddhist nun robe, all the people said, “why do youwear a buddhist nun’s robe? you don’t preachlike a buddhist nun.â€
okay, i don’t wear it anymore. “why don’t you wearany more nun’s robe? what kind of nun are you?†yeah? i like to wear nothing. i do sometimes at home when… … when all the clothes are not washed,and no water, i just wear nothing. why not? we were born that way. yeah. if god really wanted usto wear clothes, hes’d probably put some on, you know.
hes didn’t. it’s not our fault. some fur. you mean some hair? (yes.) just up here, when we were born,we have a little bit up here only. some have nothing.nothing else, nowhere. later, we just eat stuffand then it grows everywhere. okay. for men, it’s easier. for women,if we don’t wear stuff, they say, “why don’t you wear stuff?â€you know?
so, you have to wear a lot of stuff,take a lot of time. and men always blame us,“you take so long! my god!†yeah, because the things, you know, like the thing that hooks behind there,oh, it’s so difficult. and the zip that always make… why not in the front?easier. always on behind. oh, i sometimes cannot reach. if i reach up to here,then up here i cannot reach. and i don’t have anybodyaround all the time.
my attendant takes care of dogs,another takes care of office stuff, and another, loving hutand loving food. and all the residents, almost all of them are working nowfor the world, anything. even mundane stuff like foodand restaurants and stuff, hotel, yes, we’re all working now.so, i have hardly any attendants. and if i want any outside attendant, they’re also busy workingfor loving hut. before, they’re workingfor supreme master television,
now loving hut, loving hut food,loving everywhere. and if i have an attendant now, and i have to really be very humbleand very accommodating, otherwise he leaves for loving hut. yeah, yeah, have a backup plan,you know? backup plan. everywhere welcomes disciples now.i can never win. whatever i do, i don’t win. yeah? yes. okay. and if i tell him, “don’t, you cannot go to loving hut,you stay here.â€
then he says, “oh, dictating.†what kind of master is controlling,controlling me? you cannot control. free will, free will.†and if i say,“don’t go to loving hut. stay here.†“oh, how can she stop meworking for the world?†yeah, yeah. if i find anybodymore suitable, you know? mostly are not suitable anyway. and if you find a suitable, you have toreally be humble with him or her;
otherwise – leave for loving hut! or other center or whatever. oh, man. okay. now you know. yeah, yeah, i told youalready the stuff. i don’t knowif anything else is here for you. oh no, no more.this is finito. i cannot have a lot ofinformation for you every day. just the ones i already talkedfirst two days, you try to watch it.are here all new? (yes.)
very good. welcome home. the first batches are the best. more eager, more sincere. “whatever, i try to…â€your best to come! but the last one… sometimes in hsihu,it’s like that. even in hsihu. you know, like in formosa (taiwan),it’s easier than here even. because here,you have to travel to come. so the ones who come from far awaytry to put down everything to come.
i know it’s not easy.i appreciate that very much. yeah? i appreciate your sincerity and love. and it’s good for you.good blessing to you. it’s just that,for example in formosa (taiwan), sometimes we have retreat,maybe three days or seven days. then they don’t even come. they wait until sunday open,everybody comes. for blessing. because after retreat, you know,maybe more blessing than usual. don’t come.don’t come normally.
even sometimes we open,can come different days, you don’t come.just wait until the last, when all finishedand then open and then come. a little calculating mind here. yeah, maybe busy,then it’s different. but if deliberately like that,then it’s not good for you. maybe you come, you get nothing. even if we have blessingfrom master or not, sometimes we have tobe able to assimilate.
like we have to be worthy. not because worthy,but if we’re not clean enough, we can’t digest it. and it’s wasted, you know? so whether we sit very nearor we come the last day, it makes no difference. okay? do not calculate too muchin love. okay? love between master and disciple,love between man and woman, do not calculate so much;just jump into it.
okay? express all! you know? have it all.hang it all out. be… be natural, you know?be sincere, be honest. but sometimes even a couple,they calculate. “very well.if i show her too much love, she will go on top of me.you know, she’ll control me.†or the woman thinks,“if i show him too much love, he will expect too much moreand control me,†something like that.
you should not. you know? make a good exampleand then the partner will follow. if he doesn’t follow,his problem. okay? calculating too much,it becomes cold, you know, cold-hearted.and it’s not fun. yes? just be always expressive,loving, caring, sincerely, and how you say, honestly. that’s the way to love. okay? whatever one you love.
even dogs, you know?express it. look at the dogs,they express all the time! no matter what. even if you just scold hima little bit, just before when he did something supposed to be wrong,for humans, for dogs not. like dogs, they like to smella lot of things on the ground. we say, “no, don’t do that!it’s dirty! come here!†but if you love,you just call him lovingly,
he comes immediately,wagging tail and you know,waiting to rub tum-tum, everything! never too tired for love,never angry with you, never shy, never remembers thatyou just scolded him… never ever. so love like a dog,then you live happily. ever after. the dog comes to teach humansto love. truly like that. if you have dogs,you understand what i’m saying. do you have dogs?(yes.) good. you see how he loves human,how he loves you all the time? (yes.)
that’s the way it is. yes?that’s the way we should love. we love too littleand we express even less. and then we complain thatour marriage is in trouble, our partners are cold,our relationship has gone wrong. you understand?it has to be give and take. you know, both expressing love,then love grows all the time. and the family’s happy. also love between each other,between your brothers and sisters. you don’t have to hugall the time, just…
don’t try to take advantageof the situation. but what i mean is,if you sincerely love a person, i mean love like between humans,between brother and sister, you can hug, it’s okay.but don’t do it all the time. when i was in the ashram in india,i got hugged all the time. i had to always try to avoid.you know? man hugs, woman hugs,master hugs, the wife of master hugs, everybody hug-hug all the time. only me, i don’t see themhugging anybody else that much.
that’s the thing. you know? if they just hug everybody the same,then i would see, “okay, this is a tradition here.â€no! no, it’s just for me. i feel like they could share itwith others, a little bit more. the cat, they also love youvery much, you know? dog and cats are similar. just cats are just a little bitmore wandering. more willful. but dogs are really just for you.just for you. even the neighbor’s dog,
i just give him a little bitveggie bone sometimes. and whenever i come home,he’s so happy, happy, comes and sticks his noseout of the fence. so that i have to pet hima little bit. yes. all the time.sticks his nose out. i told you, even if i give hima veggie bone, he lets it aside. he nabs it but then leaves itand lets me, you know, pet first. yeah…“good boy, good boy, good boy.†and then i go,he still keeps looking, looking.
i thought he doesn’t likeveggie bones at first. but after i disappear in the house, and then i thought, “okay,if he doesn’t like veggie bones, then next timei don’t bring anymore.†and then i peep out, have a look.oh, he jumps on the bone! when i’m not there anymore,he jumps. hey, thailandand all that up there. sawasdee ka [hallo in thai]! how are you doing?
nice to see you! very beautiful! you have no room downstairs,i’m so sorry. so sorry. okay. no room. oh, what to do? you stay long? (no. 30th.) 30th. oh, that’s only three days. oh my god.maybe in the future it’s better, okay?
i hope all the time it’s better.i’m telling you, i want to marry a princeor something, have a big,… big palace, you know? and then we can have different roomsevery time to group meditate. monday, a room,tuesday, b room. do you know any princewho is still bachelor? lots of money, also? still easy to get? have to be handsome a little bit.
you know i love beautiful things. but never mind,if he has a palace and money, okay, too, doesn’t matter. i can wear dark glasses. what’s the appearance anyway? useless, right? even if we have a bigger house,sometimes they don’t allow us to… like this big room,big storage in north of france, we don’t have permissionfor meditation there.
applied, rejected. it was difficult, you know,i don’t really know. so, how many koreans?raise hands so i can look at korea. thank you for coming.thank you. any other group?just raise hand and introduce quickly. i know formosa (taiwan),don’t need, but the other ones. poland! two? three? four?(five.) spain. spain, spain, spain.

(yes.) those persons from indonesia,they have visa problem. they have? (visa, visa.) why? they cannot get it.so they have to arrive on the 9th. oh, is that the reason?
yeah. okay, okay. the first day,they already applied for visa. i understand, i understand. okay, in that case, it’s different. i don’t mean all the peoplewho come late are the best, or not all the peoplewho come first are the best. sometimes people who come first,they have nothing to do, you know, or they live on the next street.you know? just walk over.
i mean majority, yeah? i told it already on the first day.but okay, never mind. so why did they have visa problem?(yes.) but indonesians are good people,why they have problem? they need two weeksto apply for visa. i understand. i’m so sorry.just my situation is bad. i wish i could knowtwo years in advance. really. i wish, so that we can justcome and go any time you want, it would be best.
or come and stay a weekand then go, and then others can come,you know, whoever. i don’t know what to do. you have thisand don’t have that, you know? formosa (taiwan)would be good, hey? they get used to us already. it’s just i have to applyand go through a lot of things. what?(thailand.) thailand. oh.(pattaya!)
pattaya? yeah, yeah,that would be good. how do i get residencyand all that, you know? maybe i marry a thai. what, love? not the prince. no, he’s not available, i know. he’s not available, right? and he’s only one prince.ah, only one.
okay. no, it doesn’thave to be the prince, some like general or something,you know, muscle. in thailand, the armyhas more power, you know? maybe get an old general,retired or something, widowed. okay. maybe he doesn’thave power anymore, but he still has power, right? he has his buddies: the new general,old buddies, you know. should we think about that? and then get all theworld newspapers printed,
“oh! master ching hai,she… she’s no holy holy. she… she’s no holy moly.she married already old general!†and all the television come interview. yes, okay. maybe it’s good. then all the buddiesof general came, initiate, and we have no more war in thailand. i mean no morecoup d’ã©tat, coup whatever. it would be good, my god.just dreaming, costs nothing. okay, you guys can askanything you want.
question? yes. hi, master. hi. last night was my first night here. and i find it very challengingto meditate at night. like really hard to concentrate. and i was wondering if you couldgive me some advice about that? i told you, drink tea. calm tea.
do we have calming tea herein the ashram? put it there for them to drink. calming tea.they call it “nuit calme†(calm night). there are restful, something teas.you know, they sell them a lot outside. just a simple tea,like, they sell in supermarket. okay? you take some. but that probably makes youmore sleep than concentrating. yes. i was wondering.(just a little.) i was wondering if it’s the position.
because i noticed that every time, if i lay a little bit backor something, i fall asleep. and then it’s like a fightall the time to stay awake and to concentrate. oh, it’s very comfortable,of course, like this. even the buddhagoes to sleep, i tell you. yeah, it’s true, you know. when i was very, very illin the hospital last year or two years ago, i forgot.
when that copenhagen was going on,i was almost between life and death. had a very bad operation.very bad, very dangerous operation. and i could not sleepbecause of cold and pain, and they don’t alloweven warming packages and anything. i mean for a long time, for a while, i mean, i think two or three nights. and afterward,i still could not sleep. it was very painful.very restless, but you have to stay still.it was hell.
and when i transferredto the other hospital, and then i also could not sleep.laying flat, cannot. but if i put it like this,i sleep like a baby. but i wasn’t allowedto do that either. i was supposed to sleep flat. like this, oh i forget everything,just sleep right away. i don’t know why. you know, this reclining position,it’s the best. but i saw all of you bringingthat kind of chair who can…
like this, so what can i say? try what you can. and then when you’re tired,then just let it go. okay? when you meditate for a while,and you’re too tired, don’t struggle too much,just let it go. rest for a while, and then when you wake up,you meditate again. maybe you have somewet towel with you. not with chemical,but real towel and wet,
and whenever you wake up you just wipe your face a little bit,to wake up. and then meditate again. at home you leave a little bucket.not bucket, but how you say? a bowl, a washing bowl next to you,cold water with a towel. and if you meditate,you feel sleepy, you can splash your face with itor use towel, cold towel, okay? but your body also needsto rest sometimes. too much stress outside,too much pollution.
too much stress, too much work,too much worry, too much anxieties,too much of everything. really, the human body is so pitiful,so much on it. so much burden to the mind,to the soul. so if you cannot meditate well,i understand, you know. i’m just sorry the situation is like that,and this world is like that. this is the price we payfor being a human. and some of us have a better karma,more relaxing lifestyle. but some are really having tostruggle a lot.
just make the best of your situationand heaven will bless you, okay? because you do your best, all right?what to do? even if you’re young, you have to work a lotto earn a diploma. not just like young peoplewho have it easy, no. and old people have to workto earn money to support the children or family. everywhere we are just like prisoners.it’s really terrible. i’m so sorry.
and the retreatis always too short. (yes.) you just cameand you’re still tired from the airplane and ticket,and all kinds of formality. and then you come hereand you try to meditate. but you have jet lagor you know, all kinds of things. so... and by the timeyou already relax, “okay, i can meditate now,â€and then time to go home. so very sorry indeed,truly sorry. i really love you very much,
for all that you tryand all your struggle and all your sorrow,and your pain, and trouble. it’s... it’s really not easyfor any of you. and sometimes even worse,because maybe neighbor trouble or marriage troubleor children trouble. not just physical,but mental fatigue and emotional pain. that’s even worsethan physical pain. so, the fact that you’re still aliveand can come here, i wonder. i wonder who blesses you so much.you know?
that’s why the buddha calledthis world, sha po (samsara), you know, samsara,means enduring, enduring. enduring becausethere’s so many things here you just have to endure. the humans live here,so have to endure. but it’s already better than hell, no? in hell, people cannot even pray. they forget to pray.they can’t. they’re constantly in pain,sorrow, and suffering
that they can’t even think ofpraying, understand? so at least here you’re on and off. you can still meditate and think ofmaster or the holy names. in hell it’s even worse. some people are living in this world,but they are in hell condition. maybe their country’s at war. maybe their family is under trouble,great trouble. or they live in dangerous situation,or dangerous areas, or their family is reallyin dangerous problem.
it’s very difficult to liveas a human life. but at least you knowwhere you’re going. at least you try to strive to go. the goal is to be back to heaven, and you all know that and you tryyour very best to focus on that. but other people, it’s really, really very pitiful,very pitiful. we can only try our best to work. try our best and remember.yes, love.
the microphone.you finished now, love? you want more question? (yes.) sure. really quickly. yeah, don’t worry, you have time. i would like to stay longer and i thought maybei could join the working team if they need some helpin some areas. you ask the person in charge here. okay. i will do.
you’re welcome.i want all of you to stay really. i don’t want you to go nowhere.because time is so short. but, i don’t knowif it’s possible. okay? yes, yes, i will ask. concerning the rooms,it’s probably okay. and if anybody says something,“oh, master says i can stay. i mean, she doesn’t want tolet me go, what to do?†you can rent more places nearbyso people can come and go easily. we cannot accommodate more thanone hundred people sleeping here,
because we don’t have enough rooms. generally speaking, it’s like that.but we don’t sleep, do we? because here we are allowedto have one hundred people only, due to the rooms’ number.you see what i mean? yes, that’s okay so,but… to sleep, you know? one room will sleepfive persons maximum. but i said we’re not sleeping. tell them we’re juststanding all night. just tell them,“master worries we sleep,
so she makes us stand all night. hold hands. in case we fall.†almost standing, right? i mean, you’re on your feet,no? yeah? say we’re on our feet all night.it’s true. either on our feet or on our feet, no? it’s true, no?we’re not telling lie, no? yeah, just say we’reon our feet all night. we don’t sleep,we don’t lie down.
except those who snore,well, that we can’t help it. we tell the truth, no? we’re not sleeping.we don’t sleep. we’re on our feet all night.okay? that’s correct. in english, being on our feet,â€means you’re always busy, working something.it’s true, you’re on your feet, no? sometimes you meditatebut you, you know… or you just do like this,but then… and then backon your feet again, no?
it’s true, your feet are movingall the time, no? i mean often, no? or like this and then… you know? also moving the feet, no?we’re not telling lie, no? we really keepthe five precepts very well. okay, tell me. you done?you want to say something. i don’t want to take all the time.(it’s all right.) so, i’m an actress
and i graduated about four,five months ago. i finished school about three,four months ago. acting school. okay, and then? and i’m finding itvery challenging to… to find a job? yes, but also it’s like,like i feel divided, right? it’s like… (divided.) i feel like one path is my spiritualpractice and the other path is… do both! why not?
you see,i made “the king & co.†all your brothers and sistersare acting well. they even want me to make more,but i don’t have time. right now i have to meditate a lot,a lot, and a lot. yes. you could do both, why not? you see like joaquin phoenix,for example? he’s vegetarian, or vegan. tobey maguire, he’s vegan, (yes.) but they’re acting all the time.
no problem, okay? (okay.) they even do some partwhich is not very peaceful, you know? some little bit more violenceand things like that. but they’re still acting, you know?it’s just acting, just a job. okay. okay? (yes.) no big deal. yes. thanks, master. you’re welcome. and good luck to your career.(thanks a lot.)
one day we’ll see youon the big screen. you became a legendof the silver screen. and just the thought of youmakes me weak in the knees. honey pie, you are driving me crazy. i’m in love but i’m lazy. so won’t you please come home. nice song. okay, next one. it’s okay, just pass by.you don’t have to go,
unless you want to walk around. exercise, huh? yeah, it’s good, it’s good.yeah, brother. go ahead. master, we heard on the video that… which video, just now? yes… that there’s going to be like 20 years’ grace from heaven(yes.) for the planet. yes, 20 plus years.now, 22 now today. twenty-two…
twenty-two and three quarters. i’m just wondering is thatsomehow going to affect the change (what change?)that we would like to see, like the world paradiseand vegan and things like this? well, of course, the longer time, the longer people have a chanceto be vegan, no? (yes.) if all dead,then no need vegan, nothing. what do you think? the longer the planet lives,
the more people will have a chanceto become vegan and spiritually uplifted. not just veganbut upliftment as well, same time. not just the planet’s survival. and i’m going to make more, not just 23-and-a-half,oh, 22-and-a-half years. if i’m not disturbedor don’t drop dead tomorrow, then it will continue. and faster, more even, quicker.more quicker.
you know, like, the first part was very laborious,you know? it was very difficult for meto even earn like one billion a day. and now billion billion ofzillions of zillions. wonderful. faster and quickerand more numerous, you know? more, more, the number is likedouble, triple, all the time. quadruple. now, but later it will be even more. yes, i’m very excited. how can you get excitedand meditate at the same time,
i don’t know. but it happened, you know? before, meditate,very tiring, suffering, and so long hours,very little result, you know? now, little hours even, more result than beforewhen long hours. once you get going, you know, it gets better and better and better,personally, yes of course. and for you, i guess, better?many of you are getting better?
lighter? feeling better? yes. and we have little disastersrecently also, less and less. before, wow, a lot, a lot, a lot. like every two, three days,or every week at least something. now it’s… thank god,thank heaven, thank heaven. thank heaven for me.(thank you.) heaven’s working hard for us. yes, also working with us,hand in hand, yes. okay, any more question, love?that’s it?
okay, behind you,the buddha there. yes. hi, buddha. i’ve been given the opportunityby one of your old initiates, a sister in america, to make,potentially make a film, like a cinematic film,to be released around the world, based around your teachingson the planet. and the idea would beto inspire beings to embrace the changes,as opposed to fear them, and the best way to do thatis through meditation
and a switch to a benevolent diet. the film, though, would most likelytake about a year to produce, (oh, yeah?) and would be long hours,like day and night. oh, man. no, you workas much as you can. you have to do both,meditate and work. (okay.) okay? you cannotsacrifice meditation. because your body, your soul,your mind need rest and need creativity, creative forceto help you. (okay.) okay, love.
okay, thank you. good luck.(okay. thank you.) what’s your name? otto. otto. otto like octopus? there’s an octopus in germany,has same name as you. otto. okay. good luck, otto. thank you. next one? anyone else?behind there.
speak english first, okay? so that we don’t break the train ofconcentration and inspiration. yeah. master, i’m fromthe vegetarian house in san jose. and most our working staffhave been working there for more than 10 years,some more than 15 years. i know, i know.yes, i bought the restaurant, and i sent them there,my chef, my cook. and then? well, we really want toapply to become residents. you are already residents,what for? you need a name?
no. we want to havelifetime commitment to master’s… sure, then just commit. okay. we know, we know. so what else?you are like residents already, no? some of them are already residents. only two, only two. oh yeah? my cook, huh?yes. okay. welcome. okay. thank you. actually i… i brought the applications for(how many of you?) seven of them.
seven, where are they?are they all here? no, only me. (only you here?)only… yes. okay, where are the rest? i have the application forms with me. the others are cooking?(yes, yes.) you give it to them,and bring it to my office, okay? okay. thank you, master. if i have time, i’ll look at it. if i don’t have time,just be a happy resident. i mean…
okay. yes, yes. the difference is just a name, right? yes, yes. if i am short of names,then just name your own self. name yourself. sorry. i forgot to drink again. i forgot to drink.so many things in my mind. sometimes i eat, but i don’t drink. or sometimes i drink and i don’t eat.
okay, guys. you know about the list? i told you just now some extrafor the list. do you understand what that is? you are not obliged tofollow the list. okay? (yes.) it’s just some people askedand i told them, i told you. okay? even if we are vegetarian or vegan, we are still harming the trees,the plants, and the planet. even fruitarian people.
even waterian people. even breatharian people, because when we’re breathing in, there are a lot of beings invisible who die when they comein contact with us. so, what i mean is, do not be proud of anythingthat you do. we do it because of love. not because, “okay, i can do it.â€
you know, it’s not like that attitude.always humble. and as i told you already, many breatharians or waterians arejust third level, high third, most. and some are fourth. maybe very…only a few are fifth level. if they’re truly breatharian, don’t even touch anything,not when nobody’s looking, not even touch waterand not even thinking of food, then they are fifth level,and immediate.
but to stay there is difficult. if they really sincerely do thatjust for the love of god. and mostly don’t reach there. but many of your brothers and sistersare already on the fifth level, still eating normal. you know that. you knew, no?these things are not new. but because the power ofquan yin is very strong. so, of course, it’s not very good to eatthe vegetable that hurts, you know? that hurt themselves.
some vegetables feel hurtwhen we cut them and eat them. some vegetables do not. it depends on the level ofconsciousness, you understand? like if you mow the grass,the grass does not feel hurt. before, i thought maybethe grass also feels hurt, you know? so, i had to do research. but nevertheless,don’t just keep pulling them, or using chainsaw or something,enjoying cutting the grass. it’s not like that.
you have to always be benevolentwhen cutting something, even vegetables.vegetable or fruits, okay? the general guide is thatthe soft fruit, easy to be removed from the stemor the head of the fruit, it doesn’t… then it doesn’t connectmuch with the tree. so the tree will not feel pain. if somebody keeps nipping youa hundred times, taking hundreds of fruits,it’s painful. and some, it’s like cutting thisand you can’t even scream.
so just pray all the timeand be grateful for whatever you do. for your breath even,for the air that we breathe. always be humbleand always thinking of god, not feeling proudor arrogance of any kind. always have compassionin your heart no matter what you eat. and today, i was telling yousome new discoveries for the list. my list i told youwas not complete, yes? because i have to researchone plant at a time, one tree at a time.
in my spare time, not all the time. mostly, normally more important thati have to meditate for the planet. the survival of the planet, and the redemption of the human raceand the animals. all beings on this planet. and every other thingsare just bonus, luxury. i shouldn’t have preoccupied myselfwith food and stuff, but just by the way. sometimes it comes naturally,then i just note it down for you.
and the list probably willcontinue longer. so if you want to follow the listand minimize others, then it’s okay. but do take enough nutrition. if you feel your body cannot bear it, then maybe supplementwith something else, vitamin or something, okay? yeah, yeah. next one. no? finished? or did i answer your question?
okay, i did. yeah, come here. she has been always feeling stuffyand heavy since her childhood and she has all kinds of thoughts. it’s not about familybut all kinds of thoughts since she’s about 5 or 10 years old. what kind of thought, for example?the main point. for example, the thoughts are like, “why do i live here, why am i here,â€things like that. we do have this kindof thinking sometimes.
so you just sit there and,“who am i, why i come here, what do i do?â€all day? like that? you forget the holy names? she feels stuffy, so this makes her difficultto recite holy names even. try to recite the holy names.not difficult! very easy, you put, you write it everywhere, in the bathroom mirror,“holy names,†on the door before you go out,on the door before you come in.
on the pillow,“holy names,†when you sit, you write downin the front of you,“holy names.†the holy names will calm you, will replace other confusing thoughts.protect you. but if you forget the holy names,who will protect you? (master.) yes? thank you very much. now i have to fan myself. so busy, busy like that. okay. okay, you see that, honey?you see? if you’re sweating
and somebody gives you a fanand you don’t fan yourself, then you continue sweating. so recite the holy names. try to remember theholy names, okay? you’re so pretty and lovelyand so young, why so depressed? do you have a boyfriend? you have? he doesn’t make you happy? is he here?
no? is he initiated? then why, why are you unhappy? look at me,i don’t even have a boyfriend and… and i’m old already,so you are luckier. be happy. be happy, because if youcontinue to be like this, your boyfriend might leave you. so miserable, what for? you’re so lucky.lucky, lucky, yeah? where is the south african,is she gone?
hey! where are you?(i think she’s gone.) she’s gone?i thought she’d stay until the 9th. what? (she’s working.) she’s working?(yes, working team.) okay, okay. you goand find the south african, and she’ll tell youhow lucky you are. she keeps looking for a boyfriend onlyand cannot even find. i am not lookingand i also cannot even find. and you just have everything.you have your master,
you have a lot of brothersand sisters, and family, and you’re so beautiful lookingand young. you have so many advantages, yes? how many peoplewould trade everything for looking young and pretty like you?i would, also. so count your blessings.and be happy. every day before you meditate, you pray to all heavensto help you, okay? and drink a little calming tea.
don’t drink ginseng, no. ginseng will make you more active. only people after 60,who are weak, then drink ginseng. i know the koreanseat a lot of ginseng. ginseng herb, like a herb root,and it makes you… see all the muscle coming out, strong. i know you all koreans havea habit of eating, drinking ginseng. ginseng tea, ginseng candy,ginseng biscuits, ginseng soup, ginseng congee, ginseng snack,ginseng seaweed,
ginseng whatever, ginseng… what is that, the sour stuffthat they have? (kimchi.) kimchi, yes, and then wonder whyyour mind is so active. less ginseng, okay? or zero ginseng, not even candy,not even ginseng soup, not ginseng kimchi,ginseng rice, nothing nothing, no ginseng, no more ginseng for you. drink calming tea, okay?there are teas that calm you, okay?
not too much vitamin,eat normal, not too spicy. and then before you meditate,you pray very hard, sincerely, to help you to calm down,and to concentrate. and write the“holy names,â€â€œholy names†everywhere, so that wherever you see it,you remember to recite it, not just when you meditate. and then when you meditate,it becomes a habit. don’t wait until you meditateto recite the names. recite all day long.
write it in front ofyour steering wheel in the car, everywhere. okay? on the steering wheel, you know? on your seat, on your pillow,remind yourself, okay? and what else… and tell the boyfriendnot to be too excited. less passion, yes, okay? hug hug okay,but less everything else, okay? right. but does your boyfriendmeditate well?
no, does not. oh yeah?yeah, if you infect him like this. both of you, okay?no more ginseng snacks. no, truly, ginseng…you know, people die, they put ginseng on themto revive them. i’m not joking. no! am i joking?you ask the chinese. no, it’s truly,some people already old, when they don’t want themto die for any reason,
political or inheritance, whatever, and then the guy is alreadygoing peacefully, they pop a ginseng in their mouth,“ah, what! what do you want from me still?i want to go away!†yeah, not… you know, like some leaders, leaders, you know, in someasian country, maybe china or…, they want him to live a little longerfor some reason, they just keep him alive by ginseng.not every ginseng,
but some ginseng likemore than hundreds of years old. you understand? these arevery expensive and very rare, but of course they spare no money,no effort to do it. and that’s why sometimespeople are tired, and sick, they give ginseng, to revive. all right, but the koreans,they eat ginseng like you’re breathing. they drink ginseng, they eat ginseng, they snack with ginseng,yes, they go to bed with ginseng. chocolate ginseng.
regarding quan yin, it’s very difficult for herto do quan yin. i’m sure, difficult everythingfor her now. so take some more ginsengand then you’re out of here. so she still has to force herselfto do more quan yin, right? so she has to force herselfstill to do quan yin? yes, do try to, and if you cannot, then just rest for a little bitand do it again, okay? or if you cannot meditate well…
what kind of job do you do?what kind of job she’s doing? housewife. housewife, oh, what a nice job! then why does she havea lot of thinking, i don’t know. what can a housewife think? chopsticks and spoons and forks. what are you thinking as a housewife? there’s nothing in the house to think. it’s so nice a job,a most occupied job.
i’d like to be in that job,i’m telling you. how about we swap positions? then you will knowwhat thinking really means. only one house and thinks so much,i have the whole world. my house is bigger than yours. house, the whole world is my house. and people calling my nameevery second. and all the things, even my dogs.i mean they love me so much, but i have to also take care of them,emotionally, physically.
so i should havemore thinking than you do. can you stop thinking? and just do theholy names instead? okay? and after the holy names,after calming tea, and do the holy names forhalf an hour, then you do the quan yin. and if you’re tired, then not do quan yin,do the light again, and then after that just switchon and off, on and off. do whatever you can, okay?
after like one houryou should be able to calm yourself. should be.sit a little longer, okay? you go to group meditation? yes, she goes to… in the group, you feel better?than at home? yes, she feels better. okay, then just go to,whenever you can, go to the center. is it far from your home? it is…
is it far? far but she can go. go by bus? or what? yes, by bus. okay, okay. try. if it’s better for you in the center,then you go; make time, okay? maybe, maybe the atmosphere ismore different than at home, more calm,and a lot of people go there and bless the placewith their sincere motive, yes?
maybe that will help you, okay? i am so sorry. so youngand why so much thinking? lucky you’re not a master.otherwise you… thinking too much. yes, thinking makes you tired, also. i sometimes have to think a lot. even to move away, you know? before moving away, sometimesi have to prepare a lot of things, what to take for dogs and everything.
i have to tell the assistantswhat to do, and sometimes they don’t even do it or they ruin the planat the last minute, and i have to redo it all over again.very tiring, you know? not just thinking,but have to know what’s the best, yes? what’s the best solution. where to go. and preparing everything. it’s very tiring, too.
but tell her evenif she is thinking a lot, still try to meditate also, better than just thinkingand not meditating, okay? better than nothing. and no ginseng. i mean it. if your mind is so active already, please don’t take too muchof the exciting stuff, you know? no tea, no coffee stuff,understand?
last question. oh yes, one more question. okay, i askany of them answer you. about feeling stuffy inside, to relieve the feeling,she uses aroma scent. is it okay to use aroma scent? does it help? yes, it helps. okay, then use it.
why not?incense, aroma, candle. but what’s stuffy?what kind of stuffy? you feel suffocated or something? yes, suffocating.kind of suffocating inside. since five years old alreadyor just recently? since five years old.very young. yes? (yes.) and having boyfriend doesn’t help? he just comforts with words,but cannot do much about that.
okay, okay. you feel stuffy, but if you go out of the houseor go elsewhere, you feel better? if she goes outside,it becomes even heavier, stuffier. oh yeah? (yes.) it must be a karmain the past life then. you did something to the animals. you caged them,you locked them in before, and it just doesn’t leave you yet. you continue to meditate more, okay?
this is a problem. in the former life,you raised animals. you locked them in all the time, because of course,you don’t want them to run away, no? so too many animals,locked and suffocated, and frustrated and suffering.so try to bear it, all right? pray to heaven, and pray to these animalsto forgive you, and you will share some merit withthem when they leave you in peace.
and you will share some meritwith them, so they can evolve. okay? do that, please. i’m so sorry.we all have to pay for what we do, either physicallyor emotionally or mentally. there is no escape, all right, love? and this is the price she has to payto be in this lifetime and to be initiated. it could be worse.tell her. she wants to add something to it.she used to have 14 cats,
but before she came this time,six of them died, and… so? that’s what she just wanted to tell. because you told her thatshe encaged many animals last life, so she just thought about animalsin this lifetime. she also encaged them in the house? try to let them free a little bit,okay? cats, they can comeand go freer than dogs. they come, they go,and they come back to the house.
have a small doorthey can come in and out freely, okay? otherwise, you’ll get worse, okay? okay. anyone else? master, i just want to tell you,you are so incredible that, i know you are great, great,but i didn’t know you are so powerful. because since you went intothe intensive meditation, the world changed so much. you probably heard about this, that the secretary of state ofthe united states, hillary clinton,
she made an announcementof an initiative to ask some other nations to attack onthe short-lived climate pollutants, which means the black carbon(yes, yes.) and the methane. it’s just what we want.and that is happening. (okay.) we were very excited.but some people attacked her, saying she’s trying to avoidtouching those big boys, you know the fossil fuel,those companies, but we know she is on the right target with what we were actuallyinforming the public.
and also there is 2-0-1-2,the farm bill, and they try to renew that farm billevery five years, and the deadline actually isin september this year… yes, we really needthe master’s blessing, because master hadthe proposal letter in the past and just advised to startsubsidizing those farmers or ranchers to make a transition intoorganic vegan farming. we sent it to all the leaders, yes. so we tried to remind themof those proposals.
so hopefully, because right now other groups also try toexpress their opinion. very good, very good. and we’re very happy aboutall these positive changes. we wish they can take place sooner. yes, of course. so we really appreciate master extending the earth’s lifefor more than 20 years. that gives people a chance to wake up.
you know, even we are disciples,sometimes we don’t even know why master is doing things,sometimes we know that afterwards. not to mention the other people,external people, and it takes time for them to realize. yeah. of course, it’s difficult,this world is difficult, you know? when the buddha was alive, all the heavens praised himfor doing a difficult job. teaching difficult sentient beingson this planet. and he had a lot of time at that time.
at that time it was more peaceful,the world. and india was more people vegetarian,more easy than now even. now it’s developed too much so the animal industry becamelike high demand, you know? so even eggs, before, just you see itnow and then in new year when you bake cakes or something. now they throw eggs in everywhere, in ice cream, in candies,in chocolate, in bread! in cookies, everything.
so you go to the supermarket,you look the whole day through, and you can hardly find anythingthat is no egg, no dairy in it, yes? dairy maybe okay, still it’s easier,but eggs, everywhere, also! you can’t even find anything,understand? some of the diseases related to meatconsumption/production: fatal prion diseasestransmissible through air or milk rabies anthrax

the national conventionin the city we are, that is, charlotte, north carolina. and we have local disciples. four disciples will own a hotel,and we are wondering whether we can have someonehave a plan to participate, bringing the message intothe democratic national convention, because all those… how? i wish to see whether someonehas the experience
in the past organizing large events. we can support in any way,we have a place, but we just don’t havethe experience or manpower. manpower,maybe people can help, but i don’t know if we haveconnection with the party that we can even go in. that is probably…the convention is in september, so we still have time to work on it. but we need someonewho has experience

and people can live thereand on the peace diet (yeah.) and organic planting. how nice. yes, he is going to havethe first workshop in may. and i was wondering because i kind of read the programfor the workshop. they also teach people yoga. and i was thinking, how come we just havethe center to group meditate?
if we can all live together,have a community just like that, that would be wonderful. we don’t have to live together. we live everywhere,so that we can bless everywhere and we can be of use,for everyone else. we live together,of course, very nice. every day, cakes and candiesand bed time story is nice. but then who saves the world? okay? i need you where you are.

the world is getting better,but it’s not paradise. it’s not like paradise yet. but it’s just getting better,better than before, and we should be grateful for whateverchanges that happen, all right, that we are still aliveand can practice. even if we cannot see each other,at least you can practice at home, and with your brothers and sisters,you see what i mean? safely, yes? good. all right, next one.
yeah, turkish. (english turkish.)english turkish. i just feel very blessedand very, very excited. and there are good thingshappening in the world. you noticed? yes, all the time inside. i can’t even speak about it though,because i don’t… you just feel it.you just know it. i know. i know.(understand.)
there are so manyascended masters on earth helping, channeling through various people. i read on the internet and so much is happeningto put the world right. (very good.) i just feel very excited by it.and you as well, your work is amazing. it’s good, it’s good. very amazing, inside it’s just… it’s okay. no words can describe it, master.it’s very, very hard.
i thought i would write a book totalk about how it is to be a disciple, to follow the path, but i tried, and… can’t write? i don’t know.i can’t put words down. i don’t know how,it’s very difficult. put one word at a time. yes! one word at a time. so i’ve given up for a while,but maybe i will do it again.
i want to. you just immediately notewhat you feel at that time. and then maybe lateryou collect it together, if that’s what you want, okay? yes, it’s all beautiful,the world is beautiful. walking through the park today,it was wonderful. the trees were smiling, the day was beautiful,the sun was shining. it’s because you are positive.
everything is just beautiful. it’s reflecting.you’re reflecting. yes, and i love you,and i love the getting there, i want to go home and go... good girl. … follow your footsteps. not yet, not yet. master, can we follow your footstepsand go home? oh, and go to the 300th?
yes, can we do that? i am 303 already. i know, wow! three hundred three today. amazing, amazing! just getting faster and faster. yes, is that possible forthe ordinary people like us or not? or just…(maybe not.) because you are so special, yes.
maybe not. well, it’s an honor to hear that.it’s wonderful. who knows? you can try,and when you get there, you tell me. no, no, but it’s… i’ll say hallo.oh, you are there also? okay, hallo… oh it’s such an honorto be here to hear that. at the moment,i am not sure if anyone can. at the moment not,but who knows.
it’s amazing,it’s wonderful to hear, though. i haven’t seen thatin the past history either. no, wow. just, i don’t know,it just happened. that’s just… just happened. it’s just overwhelming to hear that,it’s just beautiful. maybe the world needs it. yes, it’s beautifulthat you are doing it
the world needs it. and you have done it,it’s wonderful. yeah, the world needs it. otherwise, if it’s just ordinary power, then it’s not possible tosave the planet at this moment. at this moment, no.understand? (yes.) it’s too overwhelming. can i just ask one thing (yes.) about the three days of darknesseveryone is talking about?
i have read so muchon the internet about in december, there should be,i don’t know. this december? yes, coming. there’s supposed to bea three-day darkness happening and i don’t know. well, it’s just a few more months. can you commentor should we just wait and see? i said it’s just a few more months.let’s wait and see.
but i am excited… excited for three days of darkness? yes, i want it to happen.i am kind of excited about it, because everyone’s sayingthere is going to be an ascension. three days of darknessand you are excited? yes, but there’s going to be… why don’t we get six days or (yes.) maybe 30 days,then you get more excited. a new dawning, a new dawning,a new consciousness maybe,
i hope. i don’t know.i am hoping. i am just praying for thatto be all good. maybe it doesn’t come,(maybe, wow!) because maybe we shed lighton the planet. it’s exciting to hear, also. that’s exciting to hear, also. wow. just a moment, love.you done, love? thank you.(okay.) just thank you, da…i nearly called you “darling.â€
i love you, sweetheart. i love you so much.thank you. don’t worry. it’s normal.my job. here. he needs to talk.you are welcome, by the way. and you get more beautiful now,i don’t know why. what did you do?new hair or something? i’ve been using your… new hair or? your oils,i have been using your oils.
i just put a little oil that i… oh yeah, that’s it? it’s beautiful... oh, you look good. maybe it’s that. come on. but, also this 2012 decemberwas supposed to be a switch of consciousnessin general. (yeah?) and probably it’s going tobe postponed a little bit
because of these changesand the grace from heaven. what changes? postponed? oh. that the deadline is not onlylike this much, but it’s extended, so probably the leapand the change of consciousness is also going to be probably later, because those things in the internetabout three days of darkness are also related to the changeof consciousness on the planet, so… just a lot of guessing talk. if you feel thatthe whole planet is getting uplifted
and feels better and lighter,then that’s the way it is. okay? don’t just alwayslisten to the internet. maybe the internetis supposed to say the truth, maybe it’s supposed to be like that. but we can change it.if we are powerful, we change it. we can bring heaven’s gateto where we want and shift it around. that means it can beeven quicker than that. yeah! you have to get strongand then you can lift a lot of stuff. yes? just like people,they practice the muscle, you know?
getting stronger and stronger,and then they get, they lift more and more weights,you know? just get strongerand then everything is possible. everything is possible, nowadays. just, just has to be a little slowlybecause if it’s too quick, ordinary people cannot bear it. the vibration, the frequency has toadjust slowly, quick but slowly. just like the child. if he cannot walk yet,you drag him around.
you make him runand he’ll fall, okay? but it’s… but you can carry him. all right, good. it’s all right,don't worry about all that. just meditateand everything will be fine. so many abstract things, you know. the more you talk about it,the more you feel confusing, yeah? it’s no problem,getting better all the time, okay? at least you’re getting better,i can see. it’s more light now with you.
thank god for that,and congratulations. you look more inside yourselfand see you have a lot of garbage now, instead of look more outside masterand see anything. yeah, okay. good. don't worry, don't worry.it’s getting better, okay? yes. at least we have 20 some yearsto think about it, okay? if you live that long. some more stuff?yeah, here. here and here. hallo, master.(hallo.)
thank you for this opportunityto come and see you. may i ask you a questionabout my past? your past? this life.is that okay? sure, sure. what for do youwant to know your past? your future is…your present not good enough? well, this… when i was a child,i hurt my dog and… you hurt your dog. by chance?
i don't understand why. just accidently, right? no, it was on purpose. oh, why? but i never knew why. okay, understand.so what happened now? well, it hurt him for a while,but he passed away. but i've never understood why i did it,and i was wondering if… what made you do it?don't you know any motive or…?
no. maybe he bugged youor maybe you were fed up with him? no, i’ve thought about it for years,and i couldn't… i couldn't figure out why. oh man. when was it? i was about six. maybe you didn't understand much. anybody tell you to do it?friends or anybody? well, it’s okay,it’s past already.
is there a wayi can make it up to… get another dog and love him. go donate some to dog center. volunteer or donate something,all right? it’s very difficult to understandwhat we did when we were young. maybe we were influencedby the way we were raised, you know, the background, or the family who doesn't teach us wellhow to love animals. and also we were not enlightened.
we did not understand the connectionbetween all beings on this planet. and you werejust like an ordinary boy, and sometimesa little bit over-naughty. and maybe, it could be also thatthat dog hurt you in the past, okay? so you just instinctively do it. don't worry.he will be fine now, whatever it is. he will be in heaven,and he loves you. just talk to him, pray to him,and ask him for forgiveness. and get a dog and love him. okay?
all right. it’s just you didn't know,okay? you didn't know. you were too youngand nobody taught you any better. forgive yourself.it’s okay, it’s okay. even if i didn't hurt my dog at all,but i also blamed myself when my dog diedin some unpleasant way. because i was separated in two cars,you know, some dogs with my car... i told you, sometimes i can't evenhave more cars, more drivers. only two drivers, and i had tobe separate in two and too tight. and then the second driverdidn't listen to me
and went in a different directioninstead of following me. and after lost, i said,“stay there, we'll come find you.†still didn’t stay there, and just went by himselfand bumped in… totaled the car, a new car. and then my dog mayberuptured a liver or something, and died in such a terrible way.and even then i blame myself. you understand this? even that i blame myself,for not taking good care of him.
just my lifestyle is like that. i knew i should never have dogsor any animals, just my heart couldn't say no. and then they alsohad to suffer with me, in different ways,running around all the time, don't have a fixed home. but they still love me all the same,to the last second of their life. we did many thingsthat we don't understand why. at least you didn'tkill any man, it’s okay.
maybe it’s just karma,give and take, okay? forgive yourself,and bless him. maybe give him somehundreds of spiritual points, so that he… as a present, yeah?i do, i give my dogs that. after they die, i give my dogsor my birds some extra, so that they evolve quick,or they go to the higher planet. do that, okay?make up for him. all right. sometimes my dogsare sick and all that, i also pray that i cantake it on myself,
so that they have less suffering.and it happens. or i share my spiritual merit so that they are less suffering,become less sick. but you cannot always takethe whole karma. maybe it was his karma to bewith you like that, all right? anything else, love? don't worry,he forgives you. anyone else?yeah, come. master, since the brothermentioned the 2012, because…
it’s… yeah, it’s already here.why you guys worry? just a few more months. is there something interesting? it’s a bit,i don't know if i should ask, because we have the flyer,sos flyer, right? we should distribute more quicklyor should distribute in the same way? do what you can, what you can.do what you can. a bit slower? slower, why?
it’s more than thinking… everything we do, of course,as quick as possible, no? if your house is on fire, you take slowly one little cupat a time, into the fire? or you make more effortto take a bigger bucket? well, we can only do our best, because you guys are all busywith many other things. you do whatever you can.do whatever you can. because you also need to cookin loving hut and how you say,
bring customers to loving hut,and eat in the loving hut. busy, no? everything istoo fast for you guys. a lot of work nowadays,and i really appreciate it. but heaven will also reward you.i don't really need to thank you. you do it for yourselves, also. whatever we do that helps others,that helps us. “sos flyer, we should do slowly. it’s 2012 already, i mean,what's the hurry anyway?†he’s so cute.
i mean, never mind, okay?do what you can. or open a loving hut cafeand every customer who goes in, you stick it in their pocket before they opentheir mouth for menu, nothing, just,“this is free, first of all!†oh my god,you are so cute. what can i dowith cute people like you? and have no room to sit even. wow, hot guys? hot, yeah?
i'm sorry, air-con are all on, right?yes? but you feel hot? never mind, this shall remind youof thailand last time. and at least you feel comforted, because at leastyou can sit near, right? and toilet is very near,no need to go 16 floors to find it, and to find that it’s a big long queuealready before you. okay, exercise is good, huh? thailand. good exercise, right? no elevator possible.just flying up all the time.
one of the sisters told methat before she went to thailand, she had aching muscle, you know? and like some hard muscle somewhere,hard spot somewhere. after thailand, all gone! master power. yeah, your own master power.i would say “muscle power.†okay, anything else, guys? can i ask? where are you?(can i ask more?)
oh yeah, sure, sure, sure. so about this good news. what good news? the extended years for earth. these more years, does it mean that it will be more possible formore elevated spiritual practitioners? yeah, we just said like that. or even buddha…? we said that already. okay?
we just say that, the same. of course. of course, yeah? if you didn’t understand,he will explain to you after. before i die, the aulacese(vietnamese) can ask something. beloved master, i’m anaulacese disciple from poland. oh, poland. beloved master,when i work in loving hut, it has a lot of customers.(in poland?) yes. in poland. they like master’ssupreme master tv very much.
they like all the shows. (i see.) when they come to eat, they not only enjoythe delicious food, but also like to watch the programs. and since our tv stopped,they missed it very much. they feel lost. (oh yes.) when they come to eat,they feel lost. they said the energy emittedfrom the tv was very strong, and they had a better appetite,
and whenever they went out,they liked to stop by for a while. they want to ask master, through me,when will the program resume. i don’t know. i don’t know. it’s very expensive.number one. number two, it costs a lot of energy.costs a lot of things for us. costs a lot of money for me,personally, costs a lot of energy forall of your brothers and sisters, and their money as well,because their time is also their money. and worst of all,costs a lot of precious time
for them to meditate, and for me also. it’s better we stop, okay?because i only spend what i have. i only buy when i can afford. i don’t like to borrow,even legally, understand? i don’t want to invest in some bankand take a lot of money out of it. because i don’t knowwhere that money comes from. i could have more money.i don’t want it. because it’s not my hard-earnedmoney, so i don’t want it. but most important is becausewe have to meditate for the planet.
these are just entertainment. all the restaurants now, they re-broadcast the programfrom before, why don’t you do the same?from the internet. just re-broadcast, because the customersdidn’t see all the things that we broadcast for five years. they see maybe only one year,or half a year. so just re-broadcast the thingsfrom before; it’s also fine, okay? thank you, master. (okay.)
second, a number of peoplewish to contact our organization, they want to send letters to master. i said there is an addressin the sample booklet that they can send to. is that okay, master? they can send, but i wouldn’t have timeto read them all. (yes.) if i were to read all the lettersfrom the world, i wouldn’t have timeto do anything else.
and they’re very grateful to masterfor the restaurant chain where they can enjoyvery delicious food. yeah, yeah. good? yes, thank you. good business? working a lot? (yes.) earning money, huh?i mean you have... customers. good, huh? good, huh? (yes.)
nowadays, a lot of polish peopleeat vegetarian, master. oh, very good.congratulations. congratulationsto the initiates over there. thank you, master. no problem. that’s good.very positive news. beloved master,i work in loving hut, san diego. where is san diego? in us? in california. yes.
you live in usand can’t speak english? because i want to repeatthe original words from venerable quang longwho asked me to... where is venerable quang long? he’s the head ofa buddhist temple in las vegas. where? in las vegas. in las vegas,then why go to san diego? originally, the temple wasin san diego, master. (i see.)
in july 2010, he askedone of his disciples to go to loving hutto place an order for a fund-raising banquetto build the temple. i accepted to cook for him,though i didn’t know who he was. i asked the one who cameto place order: “why do you choose this place?†she said she has never eaten here, but was instructedto find a loving hut to place the order by all means.
because this is a vegan restaurant.(yes.) then what? i accepted the order for that banquetwhich was for over 1,000 people. at first, we decidedto give him a 50% discount, but last minute,we decided to do it free for him. just free,what for 50% discount? they’re spiritual practitioners,have no money, why 50%? but he didn’t accept. he insisted on paying the cost price.we accepted. if he doesn’t accept, it’s okay.
but he decided to leave a deposit. we didn’t accept a deposit,so they were very worried. why worry? they were afraid that we’dchange our mind and not do it, master. why not?you wouldn’t cook vegan? and then, when we do it... just do what he wishes.why did you make people worried? because he said when heplaced orders at other restaurants, most would take a deposit.
when the event day was getting close,he pushed us to take the deposit. did you take it? we reassured him thatthe restaurant wouldn’t run anywhere, so he should feel at easeand pay later. after the party, they kept calling meto come give me the cost price. but my health wasn’t good then, since i had to manage the restaurantand that banquet at the same time. so i asked him to come backa few days later. when he came back, he gave usthe cost price of that event,
which was us$2,500for over 1,100 people. and he handed us a red envelope. i think it had moneybecause it was very thick. i didn’t accept. he said he would like tomake an offering to master. i also refused. he wonderedhow master has the money to go on lecture toursaround the world. by taking from the bank.
i showed him the lampsand paintings master designed, which i hang in the restaurant. i told him briefly aboutthose creations of master, and he was very surprised. i took him fromone surprise to another. he esteems master very much. he was still very young. he said he had heard about masterover ten years ago in formosa (taiwan), because he studied buddhism therefor a long time.
i also told him about master’s works.he was also very moved. and he told me: since you talked about your masterdoing this and that, now let me tell you a miraculous experience of minefrom your master. he told me why he neverate in loving hut san diego, yet decided to place such a big order. it began when he wason an assignment to houston. he visited the loving hutin houston.
before he left, he took a paper.i think that was the sos flyer. he brought it backto the temple in san diego. he said the first night, he gazed at master’s pictureon that paper and wished that san diego had a loving hutlike that one in houston. he said that nothing happened. on the second night, he gazed at master’s picturefor a few minutes,
he also wished like that. then in the morning,one of his disciples called and told him, “i found it.it’s not too far from our temple.†and he decided to place an orderwith us right away. he said that was the reasonhe placed the order for that event at loving hut san diego. after the event,all the guests wanted to know where he orderedsuch delicious food. since then,loving hut san diego
receives more customersevery day, master. wow! we should makea little offering for him to build the temple.(yes, then later...) offering quietly.don’t say it’s from us. yes. five months later, he was bringing a jade buddhato las vegas. i asked all our fellow initiatesin los angeles to help. the restaurant is normallyclosed every sunday. now i closed on saturday, too.
we drove up there to cook for himfor two days free of charge. he was very touched. we also wrote a checkfrom the loving hut account to make an offering. supreme master television alsointerviewed him and aired on our tv. the day it was aired, i went to the center to find out how to get a copy of that videoto offer him.
then a nun was surprisedthat i knew him. she asked me to bring hima gift from master. but according tomaster’s instruction, he was not to write anythingthat has master’s name on it. i also asked him to do that,but he refused. he said, “please tell your masterthat i’m not afraid at all of having any connectionwith master.†because he wanted towrite a monthly magazine. tough monk!
i said, “because my master alsocame from the temple, and many templesoppose my master, so my master doesn’t want youto fall into such a situation. please understand.†but he said to tell masterto be at ease. in the future, after he buildsthe tịnh äá»™ monastery in las vegas, he’ll follow the waymaster has done. i thank him. he said he admires mastervery much.
he thanked master for helping himthrough that gift. he also thanked master for producing a number ofdisciples who are kind, virtuous, and have helped himin the recent times. he said, “in this world, two peoplei admire the most are your master and his venerable nhất hạnh.†me, too. yes. today i meet master,i’d like to pass on his words. i also admirehis venerable nhất hạnh
and admire your master,his venerable in las vegas, too. tell him i thank him. tell him i wish him“health and peace, and to be able to teachmany sentient beings.†he said he will organizea grand banquet like what we didin “the real love,†master. i told himto inform us in advance, so that we can make arrangementsat our restaurant. yes. full support.
i’ll try. yes. support wholeheartedly, okay? any buddhist venerablesor priests who need help, help them,indiscriminately. okay? yes. he said other people,they don’t understand yet, but he knows that master has alreadyascended above the “human level,†therefore he appreciateseverything master does. what human level? he said master has already risenabove the “human level.†(i see.)
he didn’t explain it. understand. understand.the “human level,†huh? understand. therefore he appreciates mastervery much. (okay. i thank him.) he also said thatwhen his monastery is built, he’ll buy master’s lamps tohang up for his disciples to admire. give, give him,no need to buy. yes. i promised him thati’ll help him about that. tell miaoli to send to him.(yes. thank you, master.) send him any lamp he likes.okay? (yes.)
because we do it ourselves,the labor is not much. tell him: we just bring them backto hang for fun, for decoration, for his disciplesto look. (thank you, master.) remember to send himgood wishes. (yes.) wish him “health and peace, tell him exactly like that,okay? (yes.) our restaurant in san diegohas a lot of customers, master. all the magazinesand channels in the us, they came to eat and advertisefor us, all free of charge.
oh, very good! they came and recordedour cooking directly. they put it on you tube, too. many times, we wereat the restaurant at 7 am, and didn’t get home until3 am the next day, because the morecustomers we have, the faster the food goes.(that’s right.) we must prepare very... many of the customers of thesan diego restaurant are meat eaters.
there is a chinese meat restaurant,aulacese chinese, which is one traffic lightaway from us. they’ve operated for many years,with numerous customers. one day, our restaurant staffwent shopping and took outthe restaurant card to pay. the meat restaurant’s ownersaw it and asked, “you’re working at loving hut?†the waiter said,“that’s right.†so he introduced himself asthe owner of the restaurant
which is one traffic light from us. the waiter said,“when you have time, come to loving hutto try our vegan food.†he was very angry, he said, “i’ll never set footinto that restaurant.†why? “it’s because of that restaurantthat i’m about to close mine.†really? oh, i’m so sorry, but it’sgood for him, less karma.
so the waiter said, “why are youangry at me unreasonably? ours is a vegan restaurant,yours is a meat restaurant, nothing related.†he said, “sincethat restaurant opened, my customerswent there to eat. then they came back here, told me to go eat thereand cook like your people do.†my god!that is insulting. their customersare all american, master.
they said... my customershave eaten here all these years, my old customers said that loving hut’s food isboth delicious and inexpensive. so they asked me to imitate,but i cannot. i had no choice but to close. why couldn’t he imitate? they said because theywouldn’t profit, selling like that. but we sell at low prices,we still make profit. (yes, of course.) we still make profit.
we make profit from selling a lot. no need to sell at a high priceto make profit. (yes.) selling cheap but a lot,we make profit. when i gave my customers the bill,they said they felt too ashamed. they said they felt guilty, because the bill is so low.(really?) yes. then tell him to give more.no problem. the waiters and waitresses saidjokingly that they could pay more, then they gave thema very good tip, master. yes.
so the waitersand waitresses get rich? and the bosses get nothing?the bosses... we’re just the managers,not the bosses. ah, that’s right.that’s right. just managing itfor the los angeles center. understand now. understand. we also work... my husbandis currently unemployed, so he works for salarylike everyone else. (okay.) any profit left,we send to the center.
okay, understand.because the center provides capital? we pooled our moneytogether, master. understand. very good. tell me. in france, loving hut hassome positive points. (what?) the french fairs, master. since we opened loving hut, they came to eatand watch master’s video, then they said, “thank you foropening such a restaurant†for them.
and now they knowwho master is, they (cooperate.) respect mastervery much. yes. because they saw thatmaster’s disciples are very pure, therefore they respect mastervery much. (yes. some.) now, whatever they do, they’d invite our associationto participate. okay. good. see? positive. through loving hut,people understand master much more, because they watchmaster’s videos.
therefore, we’d better thinkabout those positive things than talk aboutthe material stuff. (yes.) yeah. south african,what do you want? hallo, master.i was just sent to you… master, you can just tease meall the time. it’s fine, to cheer you upso you can keep coming to visit us. never mind. she, this korean,she’s going to talk to you about that. you go cheer her up. okay? (yes, master.) yeah.
see, she is from south africa. that’s a long way from homeand she comes see me every time. the first day whenever she hears. and she always jumps in the firstairplane possible and comes here. and she has no boyfriend,she lost a lot of money, and she has only two dogsand a housekeeper. and she’s smiling all the timeand tells me all the positive things. you go and teach her some“how to be happy,†(okay, master.) without a boyfriend even.
yeah, yeah, my god. some people don’t appreciatewhat they have, you know? how many of you don’t haveboyfriend? raise hand for me. look at all this. and youdon’t appreciate your luck. yeah? lucky, lucky! so pretty and have a boyfriendand have a master, and a lot ofgood brothers and sisters. okay, good.yeah, behind there. i would like to report to masterabout the loving hut in orlando.
i’m luckier than the other sistersin a way that i’m not the owner. i’m just a coordinator. i realized that at firsti didn’t know how to cook, but after two, three years,i was able to cook. i don’t cook very well,but can cook for a lot of people, around two,three hundred people. so i look for waysto attract more customers. for example, i observed and foundthat we must cook like master said: loving hut shouldbe fast in service.
the chinese buffetis a very good idea. so we tried the buffetat our restaurant. every sunday,we provide a buffet. people can eat all they wantfor just us$9.95. now, we have a lot of customers. one day of buffet sometimes can selltwo, three times the regular days. okay. then we keep doing buffet.(yes.) buff up. in addition, i think thatif we just sit there, not many peoplewill know about us.
we must go out to advertise.in the us, they call it marketing. so, we discussed about going outto teach people how to cook. at first, a number of initiatesopposed the idea, saying that if weteach people to cook, they won’t eat at our restaurant,they will eat at home. what idiots! people eat at our restaurantonce a month or two, three days a month. if they can cook and eat every dayat home, it’s even better.
what kind of talking,so “smartâ€! we open the restaurant for peopleto learn to eat vegan. if people can eat vegan at home,it’s even better. (yes.) then what? then we beganto teach people to cook. at first, few people came,just over 20 people, so our restaurant couldaccommodate them. but later, in the following classes,over 100 people registered, we had no space.
so the adventist church let us borrow their place to teach classes.(see that?) they said their place can hold200 people, come if you want. they don’t charge anything. because... seventh day… seventh day adventist. they’re also vegetarian. yeah. vegetarian,maybe they still have milk and egg,
but they are vegetarian. (yes.). very good. good church. when we taught cooking, i wanted to show master’s programand supreme master tv. they had to check outall our videos. after one, two times, they let usshow freely whatever we want. later, they even let me havethe key to the church. for example,if we go to the church, then show the clips where i talkedabout jesus. like christmas…
i brought a number of videos where we interviewed peoplein the seventh day adventist church. that too. okay. they like it very much. later they trusted us,they gave us the church key. give the church key, wow,let us become priests, too. good. (yes.) good boy. first, i didn’t knowhow to teach people to cook. i asked some initiates to help,but later they were busy,
so slowly i had totake over the teaching. we learn from them,then teach other people. (yes.) and then, it is okay.we must be positive like that. we must be the go getters.go get them. (yes.) you don’t just complain.don’t care about anybody says what. we know what we’re doing,we continue. okay? (yes.) all right. when i teach cooking classes... when i teach classes, people come and eat and say,“it’s so delicious.
can i bring some home for my wife,my children, my family?†i said, “sure.†give them more. (yes.) but that means,if the class has 100 people, i must cook 150 to 200 portions. that’s right. that forced me to learnto cook in “mass production,†meaning to cookin a great quantity. yeah. cook fast and a lot.
later, i devised something that can help boilthe water pot in 15 minutes – those big water pots,or the big pans, so that we can stir-frya lot of food, and save time. the gas kind that works very quick.(yes, yes.) cook quickly,we must improve every day. at first we taught people like that. we don’t want them to thinkthat we try to sell them stuff. but later, people said,
“this food is so tasty,where can we buy it?†i said, well, you goto loving hut to buy it. create one more recipe. later we set up a placenext to the restaurant, put out dry food,decorated with flowers, etc., and people buy them to eat. because when they cometo eat buffet at our restaurant, they can buy dry foodand go home to cook. (see? okay.) a number ofpeople like it very much.
they told us that for that reason, they have enough money to continueeating vegan. (that’s right.) they thank us. they have the means, too. (yes.) see? we must be positive like that, must have a positive mentality,must be happy, must overcome all obstacles,no matter what. later, we went outsideto the big events, like those of 500,000or 200,000 people.
we checked to see what they ate. then we discovered one thing: when we teach cooking classes,those recipes that people love to eat, we can sell those in our restaurant.(that’s right.) at that time, on the buffet days, we selected a number of recipesand let people try them. if they liked it,we put that into our menu. we keep the favorite ones. okay. later, we went out more.
later i thought, why don’t webring these recipes out to the farmers’ market,of the farmers. we talked about thatyesterday already. yes. it works very well.people love those vegan recipes. when we were out there,they said they don’t have vegan food. when they seethe loving hut sign, they know our food isn’t madein a place that cooks meat. people like it very much. about 30% of my customersare frequent customers.
they buy food home to eat, too. so we prepare things likevery good containers for them to bring home. we tell them thatthese are reusable boxes, don’t throw them away. it meanswe support the environment. they like it very much.next time they came, they kept the old boxthey got from us last time. bring the box. (yes.)reduce money.
yes. reduce and reuse.they know that. and… must teach them, too,not just about cooking. that’s right. like that. yes. they like it very much. later, a nearby university alsoinvited us to do the same. (yeah.) every friday, if we have time,we go there to cook for them. the students come to eat. we want to sharea lot of information. if we continue, then a number of peoplewill be able to eat vegan.
and we have master’s guidance,so we’ll have new ideas to continue. yeah. just have to continueto have new ideas like that. or go find other methodsso that we can attract more people. but, there is no obligation. if you don’t feel up to it,you don’t do it. you don’t… if someone doesn’t want it,then close it. no problem. no problem.for me, everything’s fine. anyway, it’s a job also.if you don’t do this job, you have to work at some other jobanyway. you understand?
if you don’t work for loving hut, or if you don’t work asa loving hut owner, or if you don’t workwith a loving hut, then you also need another job outside.you do other job anyway. so why not consider it as a job,and a good job? a good job: help yourselfand help other people, right? okay? in the us now,a number of states such as florida, they have a law called“cottage food law†which allows people to cook foodin their own home,
then bring out to sellto other people, without the need for a business license.(license… okay, okay.) other states are similar. it’s so good, my god,it’s getting better. and the restaurant,if people know about it, it will be always stableand better and better, okay? just you have to reallyhave a passion about it. you really must know whatyou’re doing and want to do it. okay? and not force yourself. all right? yes.
if you cannot,then you cannot. okay? but as a job,if you don’t do it here, you do it anywhere else,a different job anyway. when you go there,you can put on some makeup, a white mask or something,and do some acting stuff. “what do you want?table number five!†“coming!†anything else? hallo, master. (hallo, hallo.)master, foreign group informed that
we can open loving hutonly if it’s legal. (yeah.) what i meant is:don’t do anything against the governmentintentionally, understand? all governments are like that. for example, if that is the law,we comply with it, understand? it means: don’t do sneakily,like hiring workers and paying them secretly,without reporting, for example. for example, this guy pays you 1,000,then you’re supposed to report 1,000, so that the governmentcan take tax, understand?
but you hide it,you say 500, that’s not right. just an example. understand? or you hire someone to work, whom the government says not to hire,but you hire. it must be legal to do, so that we feel at easeto continue, understand? whatever we can, we do. if not, never mind. don’t force it. what i meant is, that is legal.
if the government doesn’t allow,then don’t do it. understand? (that’s right.) don’t try to do it sneakily,force it, and say: i do it, no problem. no! if the government allows it,we do. if not, forget it. understand? people originallyare good people. people are all good, understand? it’s the karma of the sentient beingsthat creates this and that problem. otherwise, no one is bad.
when they know something is good, it’s because insidethey’re already good, they know right awaywhat is good. right? if it’s good, they know right away.they follow. it’s like they can sensetheir buddha nature, master. yeah. everyone has buddha nature. however we treat them, they willtreat us the same way in return. everyone has buddha natureinside, right? (yes.) but because the karma ofsentient beings is too heavy,
therefore, sometimes there arethis policy and that policy. that’s all. we can’t blameany government. (yes.) but now the government wishesvery much that master is healthy and lives forever. thanks to the government. they’re the same here. so we’re comrades now. okay? same.
mostly, if we are positive,mostly we will attract positive people. and slowly,they’ll also understand very well.and just be positive. it helps. because you also have… you only have your own karmaand your family karma. very small.how can you not be positive? if you have the world’s karma,okay, i understand, it’s difficult. it’s all mixed and confusionand maybe difficult to be positive. but you have only your own karma.
and your family, and maximum,your country’s karma. why you’re so depressed and…yeah? try to think of the larger picture. people are worse off than you,everywhere. okay? we are very lucky.lucky, lucky, lucky! anybody else? you’re not pablo, you’re the (pedro) the brother.pedro. where is your brother?loving hut, right? (he’s coming today.) working. working.(tomorrow. tomorrow.)
(today.) oh.(he’s coming now.) okay. who works in loving hutif all three of you are here? no, only me. and another…he’s not working. (no.) he’s not working? (no, he’s not.) he’s not? both of you working?(and ying.) i and … both of you are here! yeah, we closed. closed. (good.)
okay, closed a few days.(we needed a rest.) it’s all right.(we needed a rest to see you.) okay, okay. fine, fine.it’s a couple of days, doesn’t matter. what did you write outside?“i go see my master! see…†“see you tomorrow,†no?(personal thing.) “i go to…â€how do you say? vacation.(to see master.) “… visit master. see you tomorrow.see you later.†no? hallo, master.
translator, come. i would like to ask aboutthe changes in fellow initiates. yeah, you translate. i wanted to ask aboutthe changes in initiates. at the seoul center,there are a lot of initiates who are going to cancunand hsihu center. for example, there are a lotof initiates in seoul center who go to cancunand hsihu center. once coming back, it seemsthere are two kinds of people.
after coming back from there,there are two kinds of people. as for one group,they are really, really good. their actions becomemuch brighter, and… one kind like this, right? one group, after they come back,their actions are better. they are brighterand they are positive. (yeah, yeah.) yes, surprisingly. they becometotally different from before. like 360 degrees difference. different really (yes!)or just acting different?
it seems it’s not justchanged for a while, like a few days or a few weeks, but it’s as if becoming a totallydifferent person, fundamentally. it seems like it’s not onlylike a few days or a few weeks. it seems likeit’s basically changed. (yes.) changed, but real changeor just pretend? is it real change, or just pretending? it seems like a real change. it seems like real change.
like what? what kind of change, for example? it’s about loving hut again,which you must be bored of… it’s about loving hut again. one of them is workingas a server in loving hut. there’s a friend in loving hut. this friend, she seemed unstable. what i mean by friend here is, i know her as just a sister,not that i know the person deeply.
when i see how she worked,it made me worried somehow. you mean, it makes you worried now?nowadays? no, before. before she went to cancun or hsihu,it was very unstable. whatever she does, like service,it looked unstable. for example, her facelooked angry, or agitated. she seemed angry or agitated.(now, no?) before. now… she is always happy.(happy?) yes. when we see her,she makes others happy, too.
good! happy.(really. really.) just short time, no. but, the other kind is… but for the others,their changes don’t last long. another kind is short period only.they become good, short period. just, this sister also short period only?(yes.) and after,they change back to the old... yes, they go back to before. so i would like to know the differencebetween those who change and…
so, what’s the point? she wants to knowwhat’s the difference between the peoplewho don’t change and the people who changeafter a short period. after a short periodor change only a short period? is it about changingfor a short period only, or after a short period…? i mean, between thosewho fundamentally changed, and those who go backto their original
after around a week of change… short period, for good. understand. after hsihuor after cancun. okay. what’s the difference? some like to change,some don’t change. some feel good there, and, you know, tune inand maybe have more blessing. and some maybe don’t tune in. or some went therefor different purposes.
or some are not high enough to getas much blessing as the other one. or not sincere enough.or too distracted over there, some beautiful nun,handsome monks, whatever. everybody’s different. okay? you ask them, don’t ask me.i’m not them. translate. you got it? okay. portuguese.(portuguese! please, yes.) master. i want to tell yousome good news.
