OK. Good news is that the Taiwanese (Formosan) don’t need a visa to go to Costa Rica even, and I think American people don’t, right? (Yes.) Yeah. Most people don’t, right? (Yes.) If the Taiwanese (Formosan) can go for half a year without a visa, I think all the world can go there. Is that true? (Yes.) (And we have the help from the Immigration here. So...) She is from the Immigration Office? (Yes.) You? (Yes.) Alright. (OK.) (I could try talking to someone connected with the foreign service, and maybe they can help us if we have trouble in any country, saying we’re going to the Center.) Very good, very good. Understood. No need translation. I understood. No need. If possible. Thank you. I don’t speak Spanish, but I understand sometimes. When I read, I can read very well; I cannot speak. Maybe I go to Costa Rica and learn for six months. Yeah.
(She also said that in Costa Rica that you) I know. I know. I don’t need translation. (can save a lot of money for the people who live) Pay for them. (around this country, so they can take a bus to Costa Rica too.) Alright. You hear it? Very good. And also help with the “migraine” problem… immigration problem, not migraine, sorry. But it’s also a migraine problem. See, a lot of programs have been cancelled today because many of our disciples around the world couldn’t get the visa to the United States. It’s the hardest country. And not because of the program, but many of the disciples want to come here to participate in the retreat. And if they let us know in advance, perhaps we could have done something through the help of the governors, but maybe it wasn’t arranged. So at least about 30 (disciples) from Korea could not come. There are some from Taiwan (Formosa) who could not come, etc., etc.
We hope in the future that all the countries will open their gate, just like Costa Rica did. Wow! They improved. WOW! Just when I was there, people still needed a visa, and after we made a retreat, maybe it’s better. Yeah, we did a retreat there, seven days. Fine. I really sincerely wish that in the future all the countries will open their borders, at least for friends, relatives, to visit each other without so much nonsense. Most of the time they just stop the good people. Yeah. They’re very good at stopping good people, and bad people they just let them go, because bad people, they have a lot of projects, they know how to deal with the police and how to deal with the airports and Customs and all that, and we, the good people, are so honest and just go the direct way and the straight way and get stopped everywhere. It’s not the first time. I’m very frustrated about this. Too bad, too bad. Alright, so I’ll see you. Thank you.
Oh, sorry. Excuse me. Sorry, sorry, just a few minutes. She helped me to sew all the clothes. (Oh.) But she’s not the only one. Many monks and nuns in Miaoli helped to do it. But I helped her to do her hair. I did it today. I made her beautiful, no? (Yes.) You never saw her beautiful like this before. (Yes.) And this, I put it on her and all that. I did it. Made a Cinderella. Nice. So, yeah, also I did his hair. Look at that. (Yes.) Let everyone take a look. Come. I did his hair also. Here. Here. The cameraman. Because his hair is long and it keeps falling on his eyes, and when he videotaped me, all his hair was on top of the picture. So, I just combed it backwards so I don’t have to see hair in front of my picture in the video. Never mind, I just passed time. Because they did a lot for me, so sometimes I mess around with their hair or their... You know, I’ll look and tell them what to wear to make them look nicer and more handsome, more beautiful. She looks beautiful, huh? No one recognizes her. Do you remember her before? (Yes.) Turn around to let them see. Nice. OK. Alright. Thank you. So, next time if I don’t have money, I can open a beauty salon. I make all of you become beautiful.
What? (Hire me.) Hire you? You can do good? Can do as good as me? (No.) Maybe, OK, you never know. So, I have a lot of talents in case you did not know. (Beautiful.) Beautiful! I did it in ten minutes, only ten minutes. And her hair was very lousy and short. Kind of not short, not long. You can do nothing about it. But still, I can do it, I put a lot of hair spray and mousse and when you touch her hair, it feels like stone. That’s how it stays, because her hair is just like his, maybe. No, no, a little bit longer, but it’s just kind of… because before she shaved her head and then when she let it grow, it’s just… No, it’s not even and it’s not trimmed, and it’s not taken care of. So, even that, I made it become like this. Beautiful. Nice, huh? Say something. She doesn’t have enough hair. Even when I put it like this, it looks so noble. It looks like a lot. It’s a little bit only. It’s just a chicken tail. And she looks beautiful. (Yes.) Very beautiful.
So, good night. Goodbye. Good night. Good, good night. I don’t know where to turn because everywhere people want to see me, so I’ll just go around. (See You again?) See you again. (When will it be?) I don’t know yet, honey, I will tell you. (Thank You, Master.) Yes, thank you. Thank you. Go home, go home safely and nicely. Thank you for your song. Did you like my song as well? (I loved it.) You loved it. (I love Your music.) Ah, yeah. (If I can ever help You record.) Oh, really? Oh, studio is no problem. It’s just me. We’ll see, (OK.) we’ll see. You like my songs? (Yes.) Just... (Bravo, Master.) Huh? (We love You.) Thank you. We love you, too.
Oh, this handsome guy has many girlfriends, huh? Oh my God! Handsome and many girlfriends, huh? (No, Master.) Really not? How come you act so realistically then? (Just acting.) Acting, not that you actually have girlfriends, right? (No.) Really? (Yes.) Handsome but no girlfriend? How strange! This must be a joke. And what about those “girlfriends” on the stage then? (Yes.) So, see you around. I see you around. (Love You.) Love you, too. I cannot have enough of you, but I have to go. I also feel like that, I don’t know why. But after I leave for some time, it’ll be OK. But just when I see you, I just don’t want to go also. I don’t know why. It must be your fault. Have a safe trip home. (OK. Thank You, Master.) We’ll see each other again when we have time. (OK.) When we have time, we’ll see each other again. Because we’re still lucky [that] we can see each other. Maybe in the future, better.
Âu Lạc (Vietnam) is getting better now? (Yes.) Yes. After we changed the name into “Âu Lạc,” (Yes, yes.) things began to change, huh? (Yes.) I told you it’s good. It doesn’t matter if they didn’t change over there, because we changed, that’s enough, because we are the practitioners, we have a strong will and strong spiritual power. So whatever we wish, it’s more likely to come true. See? So we changed the name, and we believe in the name and that’s enough. We don’t need the Âu Lạc (Vietnam) country to change it. If they change it, it would be much better. (Yes.) Âu Lạc means “peaceful living and happy livelihood,” right? (Yes.) Sooner or later, it will all be “peaceful living and happy livelihood.” (Yes.) It has already begun, starting to become “peaceful living and happy livelihood.”
