Please come. (Hallo.) (This is our Master.) Yes. (How do You do?) Hi. How do you do? (How do you do? How are you? Nice to meet you.) Well, we try to get a chair. (Thank You, we got lost here.) You did? How come? (I don’t know.) (You can sit next to Her.) It’s so difficult to find. (Yes.) (It’s nice to come to…) Welcome you. Welcome you. (Thank You.) Would you like to eat something? Because you have not eaten anything yet. Eat? Lunch? No, no, lunch. We have lunch. How about going to our (vegan) “restaurant” afterward? (Very good.) Here, prepared food. Did you eat or not? Not yet. You want? OK. Prepare for each person. (Yes.) And when you’re ready, tell us. (Yes.) We have fantastic “restaurant.” (A very good “restaurant,” too.) House specialty? Aulacese (Vietnamese) cuisine. Aulacese (Vietnamese) cuisine, Aulacese (Vietnamese)? (Aulacese [Vietnamese].)
(You’re French?) (No. Spanish.) She’s Chilean. It won’t get you fat, don’t worry, these things. Take some for appetizers. Move it to the backyard. (Oh.) So, do you like my “living room” or not? (Yes.) (Yes, it’s beautiful.) (Open air.) We have plenty behind there, bigger than this. After the meal I’ll take you to walk around. How about that? You want? (OK.) (Sure.) (…On top of the mountain?) Not really very high. This mountain is not very high. It’s a kind of sliding slope. So, it’s not very tiring. It’s not very far, about a few hundred meters from here. But our land is very big. You can walk all day. (Thank you.) It’s up to very high in the mountain. And we have much better than this, a bigger place. After the meal we can go have a walk. (OK.) (First class living all the way.)
Hero, hero of the age. What kind of an award you’re going to give him? (We have an award; we have a special award.) Oh, yeah? (Another week or so. We’re saving it.) Only when we are successful. (Yes.) Otherwise, we throw him in the... (In the winding river.) The river there. What kind of river we have here? (Next week, we're going to be successful. You'll see.) Peter, did you tell him what they want? (Yes.) (Yes, I ran through the whole briefing and...) …for ten years or something like that. American, hundred percent – with ketchup, chips, and (vegan) pie, (vegan) apple pie. every day (Apple pie.)
They lead a very pure life. Very, very pure. They don’t even take donations from people. So their airplane tickets I had to take care of. They take donations from me even. They think it’s the best way. Yes, they don’t take it from outside people. (But they go back to Taiwan [Formosa] to be with You or they…?) They did. She did. She stayed there for a while and afterward she came back to America. She thought it’s better to work there for the American people. So she went back. And she has her own vihara (Buddhist temple), therefore she also gets her [people to] care for. (Cool.) She works to support her own temple. (In an art gallery.) But Chanmo, only three years? Three. (I think so.) (No.) Two years or three years? (Four years.) (How long you’ve known Master?) Four years now? (Three and a half.) Three and a half. She was running all over the places to look for [a Master].
Are you hot? (No. I’m comfortable.) You like it or not? (It’s comfortable.) You want it? (Not necessary.) No, no. Turn it off. This is not good for us really. I get pain sometimes afterwards. (Arthritis?) I don’t know what. If I get so much... (Me too.) Oh, they're cute. Very nice people. After being a nun for ten years, you're sure you'll be a nun. (I think so.) Sure now, huh? (No change.) (Never change.) No. No more change. (No. Not necessary, as Master said.) No consideration? Second thought? (No second thought. No.) Alright. (No second thought of leaving You either.) If you want to “suffer,” it’s OK.
How about the “previous life” children? (The previous life children?) They’re OK? (Which ones? The ones in Georgia? Oh, you mean... Oh, they’re fine. They have their earthly problems.) Yeah. (Yes.) We all have. (She’s coming to Atlanta where I am.) Oh, yeah? (She’s moving to Atlanta.) Next to her house? (Yes, right near where I live. She’s going to go in Chamblee.) (I picked a place near the Center.) You knew it or…? (No.) Oh, good then. Now you have (Yes.) one more, (Yes.) one more protector. Why are you moving there? (I was guided to go there.) Oh, yeah? Don’t know why, huh? (Well, I’ve been in…) (I need help.) (I’ve been in New York City so long and so many things happened this year that say “leave.”) Oh, yeah? (I couldn’t ignore it. And I have a seven-year-old son.) Oh. (I’m a single parent. It’s very difficult.) Oh. In New York, huh? (You know I grew up in New York.) (No.) (Yes.) (I’ve never been to Atlanta, and I was just guided to go there and…) You got a job there? Oh, you go there first. (I’ve just been offered a job to….) (…come to America sometimes.) Did he call that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They faxed me too. It made noise. Noisy days, so many people.
(But You can stay in her house if You want.) Well, that I know. My God. (Master, how about Arkansas?) (No, I do say that I was proofed. I promised Chris.) They faxed me already. Yeah, made a lot of noise, so much noise. ([She] said the same thing.) Huh? ([She] said the same thing, “Please, Master, come to the house and stay.” The whole house.) (What? In Boulder? Where? No?) (The whole…) (No, New Jersey.) (Oh, New Jersey.) (Because the doctor has one house. Right?) Yes. (And then his colleague, also a doctor, went on holiday. One house is empty...) Another house is empty. So he wants to give me a house? (He said, “I give You...”) Want me to be a housekeeper? (“I let You have a house…”) No, I don’t need a house. I have to work here. (But they arrange all of these things.) Yeah. When I’m in a secret work, then we have to pack. When I’m already open for the disciples, then I have to be where they can see me. That house is not enough for people. Here they can camp. (But this is beautiful.) And they have toilets and bathrooms.
(How did You find this?) This was just through an agent. We have disciples in New York. And we rent a kind of office, a very big place, for group meditation. And then in that office… You see, my disciple owns the office downstairs, and they help us to rent one, very big space for people to meditate. And he had a kind of subordinate, manager, or the manager of the building of the office. And then we were talking about having a bigger place, our own place with trees and... And he said he knows a place. He took us here and we just bought it, in one day, the same day. Everything is paid. Many of our places are paid. Plus, if you pay over the year, the mortgage is also the same. (The mortgage is so much more…) A lot of money. And I don’t want to be in debt. I hate it. I hate to die with the thinking of 1B or 1T is still somewhere not paid. (He must think.) Why? Why? Is he in debt? (No.) (No, not in debt.) Except maybe for the Aulacese (Vietnamese) refugees, I hate to be in debt. For them I would do anything. that I don't like to do. But otherwise, we’re not desperate for money. We don’t have the money, we don’t have to buy the place, that’s all. If we have it, we buy it; if we don’t, then we don’t. Why make trouble for yourself? Buying things that you cannot afford. Right?
We’re very simple. If we have a big place, then we are together. If not, we rent a theater or something, be together one, two, three days, and afterward each goes back to his home and meditates at home. Why make trouble? Of course, it’s more convenient for me, I guess, to have a stable place for people to come every week to meditate. It’s good for them. But I’ve hardly been here. I have never been here before, maybe two, three days. This time probably long because of our work. Otherwise, I have never been in any Center very long. Costa Rica maybe, almost, the most would be two weeks and once in a while, once a year or something. I have not been here for how long? (More than a year.) More than a year. (Last March was when You left.) Yes, yes. And we stayed only a few days here. (Very short. Yes.) Three days.
(Nice tie.) Yeah! (Beautiful.) How about that? And the shoes? Ah, nice shoes. He’s a very good chiropractor. I didn’t believe there is such a thing, but he really is. The other day I had such a cramp in my leg and he just made it gone. It cramped for three days, and I couldn’t remember that there is a doctor next to me. I don’t believe [in] doctors. My father is one; my [former] husband is one. So, you know why I don’t believe in them. But he was good. The first time he tried his chance and he was successful. I was very pleased. Even though he advertised a lot for himself since he came, but I never let him take any chance. (Now he passed the test.) Yeah, he passed the test, just because Peter recommended him. (Oh, no. No, bad migraine, talking… [We were] supposed to have a meeting somewhere.) (Oh, it was down in the Bahamas.) (Yes. And then he’s doing good.) (I thought you’re using Georgia’s magnet.) No, no, that came after. (It came after.) (This one was the first.)
Yeah, he was so good. Before he treated him; Peter could still move around in pain. After he treated him, Peter is “dead,” gone. He couldn’t even move. So next time I know whoever bothers me, I just send you. Poke him out. Where’s the magnet of…? (At the house somewhere.) …Huh? (At the house.) You took him along? That’s so cute… (...so I have to let him know.) Serious, huh? (But he was saying he has to fly somewhere.) (He has to go to Hungary. He was going to Romania next week. 26th.) For work. (Next week.) (The 22nd to the 26th.) Oh please, don’t be so shy. (The end of next week.) (Next week.) Is that the American? (From Colombia.) Oh, that’s a beautiful country. (Very pretty.) They have all kinds of nationalities there. You never know who is the American. (That’s correct.) It’s good. To be the father of many nations.
