Yeah. That was the kiss of life. Wakes up the sleeping beauty. I have a secret. Don’t tell anybody else. Or if they watch the video, that’s not my fault. Why do you sit so far? There are so many people. You OK? (OK.) It’s OK, you can, you can. You can just sit there, it’s fine, it’s fine. But what I mean is why [is it] so empty? I feel cold, man, it’s winter. We need a lot of people here, to keep me warm. Save the warm pack, which I don’t have. Anyway, I think they didn’t know I’m coming. I came this morning and caught you sleeping. But that’s alright. I would be, too, if I sat here long enough.
It’s so nice. Are you warm, comfortable? (Yes.) I slept in my warm bed and I thought about you and I felt very bad. No, because it’s winter and you have a tent, and sometimes the wind goes inside. Except my tent is good. It’s more covered, right? (Yes.) Covered all over. But the other tent, mostly they, especially those, they call it Mongolian [tent], it’s not very well insulated. Even if you lock it, but if the wind blows, it goes through and then comes in. Are you very cold? (No.) Because I heard you coughing this morning. Yes, some of you were coughing, and I felt so hurt. Really, I did. I always do every time you come here or come anywhere, especially in winter.
I think I have to get another place for you – warmer, where it’s warmer, warm all year round. This is as good as it gets already, but there could be a little warmer. I’m sure I can get it. I sure will. Because… We can sell this place, and buy another one somewhere near the sea. That thousand acres, also [can] sell it because it’s not near the sea. I thought a thousand acres, everybody can come in. And have different lots every day, like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday… But I guess land is not all we want. Now we want water. It was a good place, though. Actually, it’s good. Maybe somebody should go there and have a look, see if we could do anything about it. It’s half an hour from the sea by car. That’s different. I want it like half a minute from the sea and so cheap like that place. Oh, impossible.
But maybe we don’t need a bigger place… oh, maybe we do. That’s the problem, I have those places. I could buy them. We could afford maybe a small hotel or something near the sea. The problem is we are big. You have to buy like a big hotel for thousands of people like this. What hotel? I mean, even if you have one, I’ve got to buy a ship. A ship? No. (A cruise ship.) A cruise ship. Like the Titanic – no, not that one. No, no, no. No. I thought about that, too. But then I thought about Titanic, I thought, “Oh, no. No. We, these are heavy karma beings, I don’t know if even the Titanic, just thinking about us, she sinks already.” So many different personalities and karma.
Hey. How are you? OK? He’s so shy. Is your wife here? (Over there.) Oh, you’re still beautiful. Your kids are here, too? (No.) No. Too much trouble, huh? Yeah. Me too, I think. Kids. But I have so many kids here. I still have a “bad name” looking for a husband to cover up: Too many kids, no husband. It’s terrible. Must be a real one, not like marriage on paper. It’s nothing. The paper doesn’t keep you warm in winter you know. And he’s not sticking around for all the kids. You still take the kids go out alone, and that won’t do. Somebody volunteer? What? No, I’m kidding.
We just go back to the land. I’m thinking, I went all over the world to look for places. I told you already; I really did. Some places are cheap, good beach, big land, everything. You couldn’t even buy (vegan) soy sauce or apples. I don’t mention where. Really, some places are so beautiful. But knowing that I have thousands of mouths to feed, I have to be practical also. We can’t just live on sea water and air. Maybe we could. Miracles do happen. For some people it’s possible. But when we have a collective group of karma like this, it works differently. For example, if somebody prays for a vegan cake, it might come. But because the next-door neighbor has a different karma, so maybe it’s only cut in half, or maybe it’s some twisted cake you couldn’t even eat. So, we come here together, share the different karma.
You’re really warm and good? (Yes.) Who doesn’t feel comfortable in the tent? Raise your hand. I have a solution. What are you laughing at? No, no, no. She says, “No, no.” What is so fearful about my question? Oh my God, I can never talk to you anymore. You know everything before I even open my mouth. Oh my God, you are really enlightened, no doubt. At least you can read my mind. “It’s OK. No, no, no, no. We’re OK.” My God, you can laugh at everything.
Can you arrange that we have some like (vegan) cough drops or something in the doorway. Put a bowl of cough drops. But take one or two only, in case you need it. You can shove it in right away, so you don’t cough too hard while meditating. It’s not that we mind. It’s just that it disturbs the neighbors, number one. Number two, it wastes your time to sit there coughing. Instead, if you’ll be more calm, you can enter samadhi better and enjoy. That’s all. So, can you, somebody, smart person, arrange some bowl of… Even just normal (vegan) candy help – lemon candy or those sweets, cough drops. Very good. You can put it in the throat... No, not in throat, in the mouth. Let it go down a little slowly. And it helps. Just needs moisturizing sometimes.
But what do we do now? I’m serious about this, because last night, I resolved to kind of get a hotel or something near the sea, but what do we do with the numbers? (Put a camp down near the sea.) Camp near the sea? Do we have that kind of thing? I’ve been looking all over. They do have some, it’s just too small. And if you want big, it costs… oh my God. I’ve seen some, even just in Bahamas somewhere, I don’t even know the name, one of the sub-islands of the Bahamas. It costs, oh my goodness, like a hundred thousand of millions (of dollars). (Costa Rica is…) Costa Rica, you have earthquakes, man. It’s good. Costa Rica is good, too. But it’s so far, everybody goes there? Too far, huh? Far for everybody, right? No? Far for the Taiwanese (Formosans) only. We’re in America now, who cares?
Costa Rica is not bad. I don’t know, over there is also very difficult for… (Brazil?) Brazil is also very difficult. Cannot buy things, cannot buy things, and not about food only, but transportation, communication, everything. If you want to have a phone, six years, and if you want to use that phone, another six years. If you want to get to the other line while using it, takes another six years. No, I exaggerate. Costa Rica is good in every way. It’s just not quick enough for our kind of work. They used to live there, some of the residents. They went to Costa Rica – very difficult to work. Printing, everything, was kind of a little slow. They had to send it to America and send it back, and sometimes it’s not that easy. Of course, if we go there, it’s just me and myself, and the residents – just eat, drink, and make merry. Then that’s the best place, because the climate is always nice, nice, nice.
And I came one time on a Costa Rican beach, it’s beautiful, too. Beautiful, beautiful. But somebody told me it’s also not very safe in some beaches, is that right? (High crime.) Not too safe? High crime? Some places. And if you want a good beach, then I don’t know. Also very far from the airport, like three hours at least, no? (Yes.) I went. Far from the city. That means far from the airport. That means far from food, whatever. Because every time you come, not only you eat, you want to take it home shamelessly, openly, and request it. So, what am I going to do? Live for spiritual or live for food? It’s trouble. To eat or not to eat, just tell me.
