So in that song, the composer told the story of a princess and her lover. And also mentioned that part of the story: the general, the commander of the army said, “I‘m coming from Nam Quan pass.” Several thousand years later, since the date of one clan split into two divisions, some passed the mountain and forest and made their own establishments, and established a country, making a border, near the border of other countries.
This body is lousy. When I wasn’t with you, I never got any cold, for many years. Every winter, summer – same. I forgot that I could have a cold again. Because I had enough time to recover. Even just a little runny nose or cough-cough, it’s just for a day and it’s gone. Now, I don’t have enough time.
You watch Supreme Master TV? You saw the Mongolians, when they talk... And the same with the Jerusalem (Israeli) people. The Jews. The three of them have maybe the same ancestors or something. They speak exactly the same (way). They talk… they’re similar. The sound… Right? Correct. Yeah. I know. Sometimes I’m surprised, how come, three countries so far from each other, but the sound is so similar. So cute. So cute. Right? Yeah. Really. I’m not trying to make fun of them. It’s truly like that. You hear the three sounds.
And the other day, on Mother’s Day, remember there was one Kurdish and Iranian came up to the stage to speak. And she said she’s from Australia, so we didn’t expect. But immediately I recognized that is Iranian language, Persian, because everything is… Everything “O-, o-, o-.” A lot of “Ko-, ko-,” inside. Right? (Yes.) You recognize it right away. So, I just made fun with her, I said, “Oh, it sounds like Hebrew.” It’s the opposite of their language. Hebrew and Persian, they don’t really have much in common, the languages. And it was just making fun. Yeah, the Persian they speak always… Right? Just like the Italian, everything is… “E-, e-. A-, a-.” Even so funny, something like… we just say “sentiment,” they say sentimenti. What else? I forgot. Everything’s ‘spaghett-i, pizz-a.” Yeah, you can recognize it; some languages, after a while, you know them right away. Or the Greek language, you will know it.
It is funny. How come we look all the same? Similar, very much – the nose in the front, and two eyes, two ears, but we speak completely different languages. Even the Aulacese (Vietnamese) speak in different accents. But we understand each other, thank God. Even then still have war, imagine that? Imagine that? No wonder the world always has some war, some here and there. Speaking the same language like Korea, still North and South, tense. Still tense. And the North and the South of Âu Lạc (Vietnam) before – boom, boom, boom. Same language, same ancestry.
The legend has it that we have a fairy mother and a dragon father. The dragon supposed to live in the water, and the fairy supposed to live in heaven. Then somehow, they met each other and married, usual stuff. And then, the mother gave birth to 100 eggs. And then the 100 eggs hatched into 100 children. And after a while, like many of the marriages, they said, “sayonara (goodbye).” The husband maybe found another fairy. I don’t know. It didn’t say so in the history. But he said, “Whoa, I am from the dragon race and you are from the fairy abode. We cannot be together.” They have been together alright. Had 100 children even. And says now, maybe he had it, maybe it’s a 3-year itch or 7-year itch, he said, “Oh, we can’t live together. So, you take 50 children, go to the plain” or mountain, I forgot which one goes where, and he took the other 50. The 50 go with the father, maybe to the plain I guess, because they have more water there. And the mother with the other 50 children, went to the mountain. That’s why there was a song, you heard it on Christmas Day. I sent it to the (Supreme Master TV) team. Did you hear that song? I went from the Nam Quan pass, after some thousand years. No? (Yes.) Yes? How many watched, raise hands. How many watched that?
You know, the hip-hop that the team did for me, and then I sent them this one. So in that song, the composer told the story of a princess and her lover. And also mentioned that part of the story: the general, the commander of the army said, “I‘m coming from Nam Quan pass.” Several thousand years later, since the date of one clan split into two divisions, some passed the mountain and forest and made their own establishments, and established a country, making a border, near the border of other countries. That means they made their own country then, within their own border, without the border of other countries. And the other 50 going toward the sea, it’s almost near there. So, they established in the plain. And he meant that he came from that kind of descendants, of ancestry.
But now he is accompanying the princess all the way from Nam Quan pass, meaning it is far north. Before Âu Lạc (Vietnam) wasn’t such a long country like now. And then he accompanied her, even though in love with each other, she had to sacrifice, so that the war would stop and peace return to Âu Lạc (Vietnam) and that country named Champa. But he’s in love with her, and it was even more painful that he had to bring her to the other man. And he remembered the time of division in the same clan before. So he said, “Just several thousand years later, there is another separation.” He thought it’s just as big, just as epic, epically big as that time. Because of his pain. Of course, it’s as big, he felt that way.
And then he accompanied her to over there, and even the wind helped to send her to the other country, with a different song, different languages, and stranger to his heart and her heart, something like that. And he said he remembered before he was going with her, but not like that . He’s following her and are together, but they’re going out to make a secret street and pathway in order to encounter the enemy at that time. And now, it’s a different road. He is going on a different mission now. It’s different than before. Before it was more noble. They go together and think of the way to protect Âu Lạc (Vietnam) at that time. And now it’s different. She’s going to another country for peace, and using her beauty to exchange for the expansion of the country as well. Not just peace, but they give dowry – two big provinces in exchange for her marriage. So after that…
If you’re tired, you can go, my love. We’re getting old and tired quickly, I know that. It happens to me all the time. I just have to go and splash my face or go exercise, or do some silly things; turn upside down, inside out and – do silly things. And then wake up again, go to work. Otherwise, there is no way. If I drop to sleep, I can sleep all day, all night. Yeah, I can always sleep. Don’t ask me what kind of sleep. I can always – all day, all night. I don’t need to eat or drink. If I can sleep, I just sleep through peacefully, like the bear in winter.
It’s a very noble song, a noble sacrifice. And then afterward, when the king of that country died… It’s describing his feelings, while he’s riding with her to the other country. It says, he looked at both sides of the beautiful house and family. It looked so lovely and cozy. But how many times have these houses, been desolated, depleted, shabby, because of the war. And then the moss, is growing on the roof, instead of the red bricks. That’s what he was saying. He was telling his beloved all these things. Or maybe he’s just telling himself, in his heart only. And he always called her when he talks like that saying, “Oh my love,” this and that and that. But I’m not sure whether he talks to her directly, because of his position and her position. He is just a guard – quiet and thinking all this by himself. And then he says, while travelling on this road, a main highway road; at that time, they called it, “the Mandarin Road.” Because he had to bring her to the other country, it seems like a defeat to him. So he was thinking of the time when he won over the Chinese invaders. He was thinking of all that. And now he’s walking here, the same road, same blooded and boned road. He thought of the history, and he felt so choked, so sad. That’s the only time that he lamented. The rest, he just said, “OK, I’ll follow you for peace sake.” So that all will have security and safety, and live their life dignifiedly.
That was a very sad song, but it sings very beautifully. And he made it as if you can imagine the horse carriage is running and the horse is galloping alongside. And later, because that king died, I’m not sure if I have forgotten any other details meanwhile, but never mind. The king died and according to that country tradition, the queen and the concubines have to be burnt alive, to die with the king together. The same with India before, because they misinterpreted one word only. Then many Indian women died, especially the royal women died in fire, burnt alive, to show their faithfulness to the king, or whoever rich at that time. It’s supposed to be like the main wife and the other wives standing “in front” of the fire, remembering and respecting their deceased king, but the word “front,” it’s deleted or gone or forgotten. So instead of standing “in front” of the fire, it has become standing “in” the fire to remember the king and show faithfulness, and blah blah blah blah – just to a dead body.
