Wow. A lot of people are still here. Cool. Any of the guys that had (vegan) candies the other day? Still here? The candy people, still here? Raise your hand. Oh, you are here, fine. Good. In the audience, are there any candy people there? Raise your hand. “Candy, candy man, I’m a candy man.” No? (Yes, here.) Come up here, come up here, candy people. “Candy man, candy woman. Candy man.” The few of you can come up. Those who had candies on that day can come up to sit here, it is warmer. Come, come. “You sit so far. I’m cold.” Come here. Keep me warm. Come, come nearer! Keep me warm. Why do you sit so far?
These don’t work. Oh, man. Don’t work. So cold! (It’s sliding away. Keeps sliding away.) (You are beautiful.) Who, who? Who’s beautiful? Me? Of course. Why didn’t you know? (Keeps sliding away.) (Shall I keep this under your feet, Master?) No, oh no, I have this baby, I have this. Don’t worry. Don’t worry. Oh, fine. The fire is coming. Come in, come in. Come, come, come. Don’t touch there. It’s dangerous. Hm, no. That is not cool? (It’s the brothers.) What? (It’s Chinese.) Ah, yeah, cool! It’s going!
I heard that you bought all my tents. No more left? Anybody who still wants and doesn’t have it? The Westerners cannot buy? Oh, for you, honey, I have one spare for you. I will give it to you. It’s my tent up there. (Oh, wow!) I put it there for guests, but it’s still new. Only once used. Only once. I’ll give it to you (Thank You.) tomorrow. When are you going? (The 19th.) Oh, you keep it until the 19th. And come up and take it. It’s up there, hanging there near my house. You know it. You saw it when you go up. (Yes.) It’s still new. It’s hardly used. I only sat in there once. It’s secondhand, but... oh, half-secondhand only. Anyone else who wanted to buy and couldn’t have? (I’ll bring mines out. It's so convenient.) Oh, OK, OK. It doesn’t matter, you can… But there’s no more tents anyway. They’re all gone. They didn’t bring enough. (Good business.) Yeah, yeah, good.
I would buy that anytime. Because it’s really a common-sense tent. And you know what? The tent is even fireproof, too. (Oh, wonderful.) Yeah, so in case your bad habit has not been cut, and put it there, you might punch a hole, but that’s all there is. It doesn’t flame up. So you’re safe, your kids are safe. Fireproof, waterproof, sunproof. What? Mosquito-proof. Definitely! That’s 100%, 100%! Because some of the tents, the net has big holes, the mosquitoes still go in. Or the small insects, they bug you. But the mosquitoes and even insects don’t ever come in this tent at all. But still, the wind can go through. I blow it through. I say, “Huff...” and then the wind goes through. And then it’s cool. It’s really cool. And you didn’t know it’s so cool? You didn’t buy it the other day? You wait until today I advertise, and then go buy and no more left.
(You can buy it online?) (You can buy it by mail order?) Of course, you can buy by mail order. Yes, sure, sure. If there is still some, you can take some and pay later. It doesn’t matter. Just no more left. It’s not about the money. But there are two, three sample tents. You don’t have money? I’ll give you one of them. You tell them, and say I give you because you don’t have money to buy. Oh, your budget is (Finito.) finito. You can have one free, but the sample one. But the sample one is also new, anyway. They just put it on two days ago. Nobody used it. These two “lousy” European saints who didn’t want to get out of the tent, but that’s it, that’s the first time. But you can take the new one, from this side. It’s new. Nobody sat in there. And there are another two more. These, you have to… maybe luck. There are three samples. One I will give it to her because she doesn’t have money. Another two, I think you all have to “fight” for, see who is the lucky one. Auction, the last two. They brought a lot, but they’re all gone. But it’s too heavy to bring so many things from Taiwan (Formosa). So, you can order by mail if you need one. But if you already have the old tent, you use it first until is kaput. Then you consider whether you should buy this one or not. You don’t have to even buy it.
This tent is so flexible, because it doesn’t have the structure, so you could also hang a little... You hang on a tree like this, and you don’t have to hang straight from here, if it doesn’t have a branch. You just hang on here, and then you slide it on one side. It’s functional. I mean you still can sleep in it, and it’s rainproof. It’s just that it doesn’t have the straight look, and the tidy look. And you probably couldn’t hang your clothes straight. But you could hang it like this. Hang clothes like this. If you hang it like... you hang it on this side. Any little tree will do, you just hang it there, straight as a tree, but push it aside a little, and sleep on one side. It’s not like... it’s not so beautiful straight down, but it still functions. And if it’s too low, you still hang it low. The tent is lower, but it still functions. And the higher, of course, the better for you. You have more room, and you can stand up or half-stand up. Before, you have to only crawl in and crawl out, those small tents. You can never even kneel or walk in. This one, you can walk in. I am very proud of my own genius design, so, just in case you don’t know.
Do they all have translation? (Yes.) Did you see the Chinese in the video just now? (Yes.) (No.) Is it enough? (Yes.) Didn’t they say they had played the video for you? (Yes.) Yes. Yeah. If you didn’t watch it, forget it. Go to sleep or go somewhere else. I can’t help it. Did you understand what you have watched? But is it detailed enough in Chinese? (Yes.) (Yes.) But there was something I did mention. It’s non-flammable, but I did not mention that. I also didn’t mention changing clothes and the protection it provides. But never mind. You have seen it. You put the Chinese version or something? But the Chinese is not detailed like the English, right? So, what did you do? (Well, we played all of the Chinese one anyway. Everything that we had.) All the Chinese ones? (Yes, the Chinese version. We played the Chinese version.) But not the English? (No.)
If you play the English one and translate, it’s also fine. Together. Because there are many things I said in English, I did not say in Chinese. Because I did not mean to say it in Chinese over there. The Chinese version was originally not so detailed. The English version has more detailed description, it explains more, like protecting the luggage or storing it. The description is more detailed. Originally, I went down to ask them if the new tents are warm; whether they are warm enough? Did rain water leak into the tent? Then I chatted with them there, and we talked a lot, and so… The Chinese version is not so detailed as the English one. It’s alright. Enough. Such a beautiful tent.
I asked her why the price is a little high for my liking. She said, “Oh, this is different material.” It’s not the cheaper plastic, like you buy with other... As I told you, it’s sunshine proof, ultraviolet protection and fireproof. (Does it keep warm or cool?) It’s warm and cool. It stops whatever influence from outside, the silver side of it. And it also stops the sun, the rays of the sun. So, if you sit there in daytime, you can sleep also. It’s also shady because it stops a lot of sunshine come in. You see the silver side? It is lightproof. It’s a good quality one, and fireproof. In case somebody lights a fire and wants to burn it, it doesn’t burn anything. It just probably squeezes together. That’s it. But you know how some plastic sticks to your body and burns you, and you can’t even get rid of it. It sticks to your body and your skin. This one won’t burn. So, it’s a very good quality. That’s why. (Spider.) Ah... a spider! Help! What? (The spider came out of samadhi.) Let him listen. And also, the plastic top there, it’s a good quality one, unbreakable. Everything is good quality. It doesn’t break. That’s why it’s a little bit expensive.
(Master, it looks like a pyramid.) It looks like a pyramid. (Sister from…) You want to take the microphone. (English is not good. My English is not good.) Never mind. We understand you. (Thank You, Master.) It looks like a pyramid, yeah? (I think it’s like Egypt.) Yes, yes, yes. (And we know when we meditate in the pyramid,) Good for you. (it has special energy.) Yeah. (Not [just] the Quan Yin, but the more good energy) Yes. (in the planet.) Yeah, yeah. (And maybe it’s good for meditation, maybe more.) Maybe. I have not tried that. I don’t know if it’s good or not for meditation. I just know it’s good materially. Then it’s good, huh?
(And I think too, in ancient times the pyramid is like this. If you cut... I can’t speak in English.) Top? Cut the top? (If you cut…) Cut the head? (No, the top. The energy is stronger. It receives more energy from the top.) Cut what? The head? (The top.) (The top.) The top one. Yeah, yeah. (And the tent, I noticed...) It’s just that, it’s cut a little. (It’s almost like a truncated, cut-off pyramid.) It’s cut. (It’s circular, but it’s almost truncated.) Yes, yes, yes. (I don’t know if...) Maybe it’s better for your meditation. I don’t know. I’m not sure. And then, I can’t guarantee, but you can try anyway. (Thank You, Master.) Huh? (Double the price.) Yeah, double the price! (Oh..) One hundred-fifty for this guy! (OK, but one percent for the idea.) The idea is mine, not yours. (OK. Thank You.) It’s already cut. It’s already cut. It’s for your… (Good karma.) One percent commission, oh, wow! (No.) No, never mind. (Joking.) OK. It’s good. No, no. But if you don’t have money, you can have one of the samples. (It’s OK. Thank You, Master.) You’re OK? You have a lot of the money? Then buy two. (OK.)
Because there’s no more left, and I heard some people want to buy the samples. But we just leave it there for people if they want to inspect a little more. The people who couldn’t buy yet, leave it there for them to inspect. And after that, whoever lucky, can have that. Whoever came first, will take the sample home. Otherwise, you have to wait. Have to wait to order from Taiwan (Formosa). I don’t know if there are... […] is here? Here? (Yes.) Come. Come. Come. Do we still have tents in Taiwan (Formosa)? (There are still many.) Many? How many? OK. They still have… Thank you. You sit and take a rest. They still have some in Taiwan (Formosa). If you order, they’ll send it to you. Can they use the delivery service to place the order? (Yes.) Is there enough manpower to help with it? OK.
I asked if we have enough personnel to mail it by post. She said, “Yes, OK.” You order it with... I don’t know, “Happy Yogi” group. The Celestial clothes. And they’ll send it to you. Make your address correct. If you want to. If you don’t want to wait until the next retreat or whatever. But I’m not sure when, that we could bring anywhere. It depends, you see? So, for example, this time we go to different countries. And some countries, they don’t exhibit the (Celestial) jewelry because it’s not safe. Not safe to bring them in and to exhibit them. And some places, they don’t allow to bring goods from other countries in. So, it depends. It depends whether we can bring it next time to you. But you can order anytime – if you need it. If you already have the other tent, then use it. It’s OK.
