Maybe later when I finish. I think we’ll finish very soon. Later when I open the doors, you can all come in. It’s cool inside. Then I’ll see you all. Children also can come. See you. I’ll see all of you there. OK? I just hang around. OK. And did you eat well too? Did you eat this morning? Breakfast or no? No. (Yes.) Breakfast and lunch? (Yes.)
Jesus Christ. I didn’t have anything since last night. I don’t feel bad. I normally don’t have breakfast, don’t have lunch. Just maybe in the afternoon or dinner one time. The monks, they don’t eat after noon, and I only eat after noon. Different kind of monk. Maybe that’s why all my attendants run away from me because they can’t bear it. They prefer a normal kind of life – breakfast, lunch, dinner – all that kind of romantic old-fashioned stuff. I just sleep through. I sleep through breakfast and lunch or meditate, because that’s the only chance I have sometimes. Most of the time I see people in the evening because they work all day, so in the daytime I sleep. And not all the attendants run away, just some. Just some. Because I’m not around; they run somewhere else. I don’t have too many people around.
You happy? Those late-comers? And anyone who came last night? Behind there? OK, I’ll come see you. (Last night.) Last night, or whatever. Hi there. (Last night.) Last night. OK. OK. I just came to say hallo, and then I’ll be around still. You don’t finish until 4 o’clock (PM), right? (Hallo, Master.) Hallo, auspicious greetings. (Cute.) I look cute? (Yes.) Well, better than in the picture. Did you hear the story about my pictures? There are two kinds of stories about my pictures. You know? Those pictures, the old ones, they take with the instant baby camera, like Kodak instant, things like that, and they look like that. They make me look ugly. And then another kind is with the modern equipment, ‘flash, flash, flash,’ like that. And it makes me look extremely beautiful.
So, the people who came to the Ashram, like in Miaoli before, there were two kinds. One is asking me, “Where is…?” They come and ask me, “Where is that beautiful Master? Where is She?” I say, “Oh, you mean the picture over there? Over there.” And then another kind comes and says to me, “You are not the [Supreme] Master Ching Hai, are You?” Because everybody flocked around me, so they were kind of suspicious that I am the Master. “So You are not the [Supreme] Master Ching Hai, are You?” So I said to them, “Oh, well, I suppose I am.” So they said, “No, the picture looks so ugly, but You are beautiful.” So you see, there are two kinds of pictures. If you wear a picture of mine, make sure it looks a little bit like me. Not too ugly and not too beautiful, because then people don’t recognize me when they come.
Sometimes clothes make me look skinny. Sometimes clothes make me look fat. Only 39 pounds now. Oh, I mean 39 kilos. Thirty-nine, before eating it was 38. I look like you, huh? When I look like you, you feel more close, right? You’re not so “scared” of me. Like family. These are teenage clothes. About (age)13 or something. These are very fashionable, aren’t they? (Yes.) Why don’t you wear them? It’s OK. You don’t have your size, right? This is medium size for teenagers. The good thing about being small, you can buy clothes cheaper. And when you lose weight, you look taller. I look so short like I was before. I have heels on.
Thank you for the good meditation this morning. So next time, I’ll just meditate behind the wall, it’s better. When you don’t see me, you don’t open your eyes and you don’t make trouble. Then you meditate better. You wonder if I’m there or I’m not. That’s good. That’s good. It calms your mind. If I sit here, everybody just keeps peeping at me all the time. Last night, yesterday, I saw it. Instead of doing Quan Yin (meditation on the inner Heavenly Sound), you snore. And instead of doing Quan Quan (meditation on the inner Heavenly Light), you peep at me. So I maybe hide behind there, it’s better. Then we meditate together all morning anyhow. But you didn’t see me, and you’re more calm. Like that. That’s a good trick. Besides, this is not a good chair for meditation. Too soft. When I sit there, I just sleep. Thank you. I’ll come back. I’ll be back again.
You make me “drunk.” Make my ego drunk. What now? I thought you were eating first. Are you hungry? (No.) Jesus! If anybody wants to come in, let them come in. Squeeze in the middle there, and I won’t go down. So the newcomers, welcome. Are you OK? Did you have some (inner Heavenly) Light, (inner Heavenly) Sound? Yeah? Really? Good, good, good, good. That means you’re very, very high level. If you don’t, you can borrow some of the neon lamps here. Flashlights, whatever. The (inner Heavenly) Light and (inner Heavenly) Sound will help you every day. And it’s the best friend you can have. And it never leaves you, never betrays you, never causes you any trouble. And it will bring you Home finally, where you belong and where you would like to be.
Can you hear me behind there? And outside, can hear? Yes or no? (Yes.) OK, thanks. I hope you’re not very hot outside. Sorry, our place is pretty small. It’s always small, it always will be small. We don’t have any more space, right? Can they sit here? No? Some? But it’ll take a whole movement. How many people outside? Twenty, thirty? (Fifty.) Fifteen? Fifty? Five, zero. Right? Is it too hot outside? OK? No, I ask the people outside, not you. You have air con in here. If you’re hot, you… It’s OK? (Yes.) Alright. Never mind. That’s about domestic (things).
I hope you will discover for yourself. I think you will, I’m sure you will, that the (inner Heavenly) Light and (inner Heavenly) Sound that you have been introduced [to], reconnected [with], and reminded of today – that’s the best source of all blessing, the best source that answers all your prayers because this is God Hirmself. That’s why in the Bible, it says, “In the beginning was the Word.” The Word means the inner (Heavenly) Sound. “And the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” So the (inner Heavenly) Sound currents are God’s manifestation. That’s why after we have been connected with it, and if we practice it every day, we are with God all the time, 24 hours. And every prayer will be answered; every wish will come true. So take care that you don’t wish anything bad for yourself and for other people because whatever you wish will come true. If you sincerely want something, it will happen.
So take care from today – the new one, and the old one also. Remind yourself that it’s not a matter for joking now that you have become god, reunited with God. You should act like God, talk like God, and think like God. And that’s how we become more and more aware of our God-like quality. And then your life will become Godly, and you will be a walking god on this planet. And wherever you go, you will bless that place, you’ll bless the people in that place. And whoever – even animal(-people), plants, any beings that contact you or surround you – will derive Godly benefit from your daily practice. This is not a joke and it’s not that serious either because God is us. We are God, we came from God. Or else, where do you think we came from? Came from the ceiling? Even the ceiling came from God too.
All the materials that we see in this world, whether living or moving or not moving, they are all God-like, they are all from God, including ourselves, even our body. Every cell in the body, every hair that you carry on your head, they are all from God. It’s made from God-substance. Even though sometimes it looks like material, but it is energy, condensed energy. That’s why when we die, everything returns to nothing, returns to empty space because it goes back to the Energy Source. Meanwhile, we still identify ourselves with this body, and that’s OK. That’s OK. Or else, we cannot function in this world. If we are too much in paradise, we just want to leave, just want to leave.
