There’s nothing more to say. Everyone is ready to go home. And me too. I don’t have any home. No fixed home, but, I guess I’ll go somewhere. And depending on the situation. I’ll probably go to some country for the refugees’ issues. I really have no more enthusiasm that I will succeed, but I still do it until I can do no more. Because otherwise I couldn’t sleep anyhow, if I don’t do anything. Because they will call inside and they will disturb my peace. It’s not their fault. It’s just that I’m just super sensitive. I feel many things, and I see many things without having to be there. And actually, maybe I disturb myself. I let myself be disturbed. I allow it to happen. Otherwise, I could just throw it aside. But you know human emotions, human situations, it’s not easy to discard. When you know their situation and their emotions are in such a depressed state, it’s not easy for me to just ignore it. Because I feel the way they feel, so it’s very difficult.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed everything here, despite some of the problems or some misunderstandings a little bit here and there. And I hope that you will have a better practice at home after today, and a stronger determination to help ourselves and to help our brothers and sisters in every way we can. Otherwise, our human life, I don’t think it’s so worthy if we just work and sleep and eat, and earn money and go to retreats. But now at least you have a very good motive to earn money. To make the airlines rich. Yeah. Right? It’s a lot. Suddenly, over thousands of people come here. They’ll be busy counting money now. So, by the way, unintentionally, we have helped the economic system also by running around the world chasing after [Supreme] Master Ching Hai. So actually, all the airlines should give me free tickets. Yeah, they should. Yeah, you write to them and tell them to not give me trouble, with touching all over me. Turn my sleeves upside down, inside out. Turn my socks out, or make trouble for me wherever I am, because I help them so much. Yeah, really. But never mind, we don’t demand anything.
Actually, things happen by themselves. I never dreamed of coming here and getting awards and recognition and all that. I never dreamed about it. But I saw it. I saw it in meditation a long time ago. I don’t tell you the details because (inner) experiences you cannot talk [about]. So therefore, I just have to go along with it, of what has to happen. But anyhow, sometimes when you saw it in advance, it’s no fun. Therefore, all the fun’s gone, only the duty is left. So, you had all the fun because you didn’t know everything. Maybe you know, some of you. Did any of you see all this event before? Raise your hand. Raise your hand higher. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. That’s it? Nine. OK. Ten. Alright. OK, that’s enough. So, ten of us had no fun. Still you had fun. You saw it clearly like that or symbolically? (Some details.) Some details. (But not all the details.) Not all the details. But now you know why, right? OK. At that time, maybe you didn’t know, right? Now you know why. OK, OK. It’s fine, it’s fine. So, at least some of you have seen something. Good. You see, we could see things in advance, but sometimes we couldn’t stop it. Couldn’t stop it. So that’s it.
Now, I don’t know what else to tell you. Is there anything you want to tell me? Except look at me and then go. Yes? (Yes.) What is it? (Master, I love You.) Oh. Thank you. Thank you. You want to say something? OK, quick. If anyone needs to catch a bus or airplane, please leave. Don’t blame me. (Yes, Master. I’m just so very glad that I was able to be here. This is the first time that I’ve ever really spent an amount of time with the initiates and with You since I was initiated. That was in 1992, I believe.) Yes. (And I just wanted to take a moment to thank the staff for putting on this elaborate event. I think they did a wonderful job.) It’s a lot of work, (It’s really been great.) behind the table, (Yes.) under the table, a lot of work, yes. (Yes. And I just wanted to say, I think You have great, great style. You look wonderful.) Oh, yeah!
Bon voyage. (Thank You, Master.) Go home safely. Have a safe trip home. You remember. (OK.) Make a phone call, then report to me. (OK.) (Bye, Master.) Bye. I’m sorry. You continue, please. I [got] lost in their emotions. Please. You finished? Oh, I’m really sorry. I’m so rude. It’s their fault. They waved to me. They have to go now. OK, “get lost.” They’re Chinese. I don’t think they understand that much English. This is a slang. I love you so much. I also wish we don’t have to go. Really do that.
You know, the world is small, but we’re all busy in our own world, and it’s not that easy to always get together. Every time I don’t want this, but whenever I see you, I want it to happen again. It’s funny. I’m very touched every time I see you people. But then I forget. I don’t like being in public. I don’t mean I don’t like people. I like people, but I just love them and leave them. I don’t know if any of you like being in public. I don’t think [so]. We mostly love privacy and being alone. OK, never mind, never mind. Everybody has to do something. If privacy is the thing that I can offer you for your good, I offer it. Take everything you want. It’s really difficult to leave you, so I just sit here and talk nonsense.
Anything else you want to say? OK. You again? OK, give her, give her. The Costa Rican, the Spanish, the… Talk a lot. Yeah, yeah. Continue talking. (Doesn’t work.) Doesn’t work? (No.) Open. Give them another microphone. Be quick. (Master, if that trip that You prepared, this retreat, is so splendid, we can help, like You told us today or yesterday – we help some states of the United States. Just sit down together for three days. Well, what do You think if we prepare again another retreat in another place of the world that needs more Light, that needs more help, and God’s help? Could be the refugees that You think, so many of them… You can prepare a retreat in some place near them, and all of us run over there and sit down together and make retreat again.) That’s very kind of you. (It could be that the solution comes from us.) Very kind of you. (No, no, not kind of me. All of us think the same.) Yeah, fine.
You know what? The refugees in Hong Kong are the most desperate, but I don’t know how to get places in Hong Kong for all of you. Wait. Is our hill big enough? It definitely is enough, huh? Is that hill big enough for all of them to come for three-day or seven-day retreats? Is it big enough? Enough? But I don’t know if Hong Kong would allow so many of us to go up there? (They do.) Ah? (Yes.) Yes or no? (Yes.) Yes or no? (Yes.) How do you know? You’re not from Hong Kong. I asked the Hong Kong people. Yes or no? (Yes.) Are they really, it’s allowed? Our place. That hill, is that OK? (It is OK.) Enough for so many people? (Not enough.) (The hill is OK.) Really? (Yes.) Otherwise, there’s no hotel big enough in Hong Kong. Yes or no? (Yes! There is.) There is? You are not my size.
You know what? But you cannot spend all the money and run around like that. (Yes. Yes.) What do you mean “Yeah”? OK, but maybe later. Alright, if you wish, I will consider that and let you know in advance. Alright. You want three days or four days or seven days? (Seven days.) How many seven days? Raise your hands. Oh, really? Don’t be polite. If you can. I have to know what you want. Just don’t raise your hand because the neighbor raises their hand, because the friends of the friends of the friends of the neighbor’s friends raise their hands. So how many? Half? OK. Down. How many for three or four days? Raise your hands. Alright, you are the minority. Alright. I will consider [it], OK?
