Why are you crying? What happened? Huh? Did not see me? Now, you see me and you cry, so pitiful! Seeing me all the time, and still are happy like that? Each time you see me, then you cry all the time, wasting a lot of tears. In the old days, if a beauty is crying, then they take a small jade cup to collect the tears, you know? Here we take a steel cup... Take a steel cup and give it to her to collect her tears. Because she has a lot of tears, need a steel cup to collect them, the kind of steel cup to eat your meal. […]
You may leave if you want. You don’t have to stand there if you don’t want to. Everything alright? (Yes.) OK. Right. What for “I’m reserved. I’m so shy.” OK. Next time. Maybe you write. OK? So many languages I forget everything. Difficult. Difficult for me. Go back to your seats. (Thank You.) How many Aulacese (Vietnamese) women? Raise your hand. OK. Come over. Thank you. I appreciate your sincerity. You come such a long way. Long, long way. Sometimes it’s 24 hours, right, from Europe? Twenty-four hours. Whole day long with waiting and changing airplanes and all that.
Don’t destroy my beautiful flowers. There are so many places, you don’t have to sit together like that. Especially women, you must be delicate. The girls when sitting... “Look at the rice pot, check the direction you are sitting.” If the place is tight, then sit at another place. Don’t change your sitting all the time, ruining the flowers. The girls have to be gentle. Don’t break things when you are moving around.
Wow, are the most beautiful girls in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) coming here? These are the so-called most beautiful Aulacese (Vietnamese). Right? And are the most beautiful old ladies in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) also coming here? The most beautiful old Aulacese (Vietnamese) ladies are also here. Right? You alright? (Yes.) No problem? (No.) Complaints? Do you have any complaints? (No.) You come from water (country) America, right? OK. Do you have anything happening over there? Huh? Yes or no? Any problem? (No.) No? OK. His wife is more and more beautiful all the time. Ah, I guess her hair is let loose, so it becomes like that. Do you want to ask anything? No? Really?
Is there anyone who doesn’t come? Wow, wow, wow! You are coming to a 7-day retreat and with make-up like that? And you even wear your earrings shining, shining, shining. Oh my God, your wrists are wearing all kind of bracelets. Oh, so shiny. Wow. My God! More than mine! I have nothing! Look here. (They’re still very young, Master.) What? (I guess Master was late.) Because I don’t have... And if I don’t have, then what can I get to wear? You don’t want to ask anything? (Master, take care of Your health.) If you want to ask even now, then I will cut your hair! Is there anyone who wants to be a renunciate? Is there anyone who wants to have their hair cut? (Yes.) Now, cutting hair is out of fashion. Don’t you see I let my hair long? (Yes.) Hair cuts are out of fashion. Out of fashion.
Where do you come from? Everywhere, right? Everywhere. (From Australia.) Australia as well? (Yes.) Ah, Australia, right? (Yes.) (Los Angeles, too, Master.) Los Angeles, I know. Canada? Very far? Canada is far away, right? Is there anyone from Europe? Europe has someone, right? (Yes, from Hamburg.) Hamburg, right? Oh, very far, right? Berlin, right? Wow! These are the farthest places, right? Few hours or more than 20 hours? (It was about 14 hours. In Hamburg, I am the only one who come here, Master.) How come only 14 hours, it should be 20 hours? (Only 14 hours.) How come so short? (From Berlin to Singapore, it took 11 hours, more than 11 hours. Then from Singapore to here was four hours.) Oh, is that so? So it was 15, 16 hours, right? And also the time to wait for luggage, right? How come the other day, a brother initiate from Munich said it took 24 hours to come here. (I don’t know.) I guess that the airline was different, right? (Yes.) Yeah. It was far away. Flying like that was also far away. It is pitiful.
The other day... Ah, was there anyone coming from Munich? Only the German initiates from Munich came here, right? Munich Aulacese (Vietnamese initiates) didn’t come? (Yes. They did.) Where? Maybe the brother initiates... Ah here, behind, behind there. OK. Is your life pretty good? Rich? Do you make yourself rich? How many diamond stores do you have? How many? You are doing better in Los Angeles? (Yes.) Was it harder in Germany? It is difficult in Germany, right? In Germany, there are not many Aulacese. Thirty thousand. Is it more fun in Los Angeles? The initiates in Los Angeles should try to practice spiritually [diligently]... In Los Angeles, the merits are not many. (The initiates there send their regards to You, Master.) How come there are earthquakes all the time? Now, there are some Âu Lạc people who went there to practice spiritually, if there is any earthquake, then we will blame you guys, understand? Try hard to practice well.
What did you say? What did you say earlier? (The initiates in Los Angeles told me to convey their message to You: they send regards to You and miss You very much.) Yeah. Miss what! (They invite Master to come back [to LA] to celebrate Lunar New Year.) Well, here I also have (vegan) sticky rice cake to eat. For what? What for do I fly there, cost me money for the air ticket, and sitting inside the airplane for more than 10 hours, causing back pain and tired neck. I am old already. Wow! You are a “pretty” old lady, who has a beautiful hat. Let me borrow the hat for a few days, OK? I borrow your hat to wear to match with this shirt. You also have diamonds. Is it done?
Are you short of (vegan) cookies and candies? Put more. There are too many of them. (OK.) Bring them here. Quick. Give them more (vegan) cookies. Well, I give you some (vegan) cakes to bring home to eat. How come there are so little? (There’re more. There’re more.) Pour them in. Pour them in. OK, share with each other. (Yes.) Just eat for fun. Don’t have much (vegan) cakes but much love, right? (Yes.) OK. OK. Share. Take it to them. Take these to them. Go over there. Take these to them. (OK.) Two bags here and one bag here. This side has one basket, the other side has two baskets. This side has less people. There.
The older she gets, the more beautiful. Did the sister come here? (Yes.) Where? Oh, is that so? She now has a boyfriend? I heard. Does she? No? How come your eyes are so red? Your boyfriend left you? Why? Why your eyes are so red? Why are you crying? What happened? Huh? Did not see me? Now, you see me and you cry, so pitiful! Seeing me all the time, and still are happy like that? Each time you see me, then you cry all the time, wasting a lot of tears. In the old days, if a beauty is crying, then they take a small jade cup to collect the tears, you know? Here we take a steel cup... Take a steel cup and give it to her to collect her tears. Because she has a lot of tears, need a steel cup to collect them, the kind of steel cup to eat your meal. Catch them with stainless steel cups.
How long you will stay here? (We will go to Singapore, too, Master.) You will go to Singapore, right? (Yes.) My God, you stay that long? (Yes.) Then how can I afford to feed you, my God! Each day, the Aulacese (Vietnamese) eat so, so much... And they also request special fruits, such as plum or mangosteen, durian... the fruits that are not available this season. My residents had to go all over the place to hunt for those special fruits. OK. You can stay as long as you want, but don’t be noisy, (Yes.) just eat and sleep. Don’t whine and ask to see me. Seeing you, I have to put make up on each day, so that you can have a look. Be patient, if you don’t have or don’t have enough, I will give you more. (Yes.) Do you have enough? Not enough? Give it to me, give it to me. Not enough. They all have great appetite. They eat a lot. Give me the basket, I will give you more. Who doesn’t have yet? OK, OK. Perhaps two more bags. Two more will be OK.
Oh, you want to give them such goodies? My God, the (vegan) cake is so good, and I let you eat? So wasteful! This probably is the (vegan) moon cake. This is wasteful to let the Aulacese (Vietnamese) eat it. OK. Take it over there to them. Is it enough on this side? Is it enough on this side, love? Who wants to take some more? (Yes, me.) (Vegan) candy? (Yes.) If you don’t have (vegan) candy, then come in and take some. Do you have it yet? Yes or no? (Not yet.) If not, then come and get it. Give it to her, otherwise she will cry. Yeah, take whatever (vegan) candy you like. Whoever lacks something, go and get it, this side. OK. (Thank You, Master.) OK. Whoever doesn’t have it yet, each one can take a handful. Take a little more, no problem, love. If it is empty, I will get more, no problem. (Go to the back, go to the back.) The stores are closed these days, therefore we had to buy earlier, otherwise we wouldn’t have them today. Give them one more basket. (OK.) It seems like there is not enough, right? Not enough, right? OK. (No, it is not enough.) We still have, still have, still have it. (Yes, we still have it.)
Earlier, this side said it was enough already, how come you continue to take again and again? (This side doesn’t have it yet, Master.) No problem. Take them all. One more basket for them. (OK.) They could eat a lot. The boys aren’t here yet. Do you know that? Is it all done? Whoever doesn’t have it, can take some more. (I don’t have it yet, Master.) Not having it yet? (This side doesn’t have it yet.) OK, OK. Oh my God, how come there are so many people who don’t have it yet? Well, now whoever has it already, then go, understand. I have some doubt. I suspect... I suspect that this side has it already, but go to the other side and take some more. Only the ones who don’t have it yet, then can take, otherwise, don’t take. (Oh Master, this side doesn’t have it yet.) Give to the ones who don’t have it yet, OK. (Then I don’t take it anymore.) Why not taking it? (No, I did have it, when I was outside, not here.) Yeah, you can’t sit here. Whoever doesn’t have it yet, then give it to him or her, but whoever already has it, then stop taking it. OK, don’t cheat. (Leave it there.) Well, look at me a little more to make it worth your air ticket, then go down. Because there are other people, the men. (Yes.)
What? (Master, please come to Los Angeles to celebrate Lunar New Year.) No, going to Los Angeles is so boring. (Initiates in Canada invite Master to Canada, Master.) Yeah, thank you. But I am getting old, I am lazy to go places. (Please come to Pennsylvania, Master.) Pennsylvania, aiya! (Ohio.) Ohio, yes. There are some people in the Moon. They also invited me. I cannot just go anywhere. It’s very tiring to go to many places. All have enough? (Yes, we do.) These people don’t have it yet. It’s your problem, because you’re stupid? Give it to those “idiots,” but there is a cloth. Still not enough. Just bring everything out of the warehouse here be OK. Well, whoever doesn’t have it, come over here. Whoever doesn’t have it, walk in, otherwise will not have it, if standing there. You won’t have it even you stand there till next year, because other people with long arms will take it all. Quick, quick, quick. Whoever doesn’t have it, come in here, love. So each person takes a bunch. This is the last time, I invite and if you don’t come in, then that’s it. (Thank You, Master.) That lady is old but taking so little? (I could not take it, Master.) How can you grow, eating like that? Ah, we still have more in there. No, it isn’t. That is my towel, don’t talk nonsense. (There are only three.) OK huh, done!
