…And you lean on your own, your own husband or wife, whoever. I can lean on anybody, no? Do what I tell you, not what I do. Because they like to do that, they like it. Ask anybody here. Do you like it, brother? Ask anybody here if they’d like me to lean on them. (Yes.) But you don’t do that to anybody else. OK? (Yes.) There’s a big difference. Oh, my God. I brought some… (Microphone.) Microphone, what for? Oh, my God. Can I even talk? I’m hungry. (Master, let me carry it for You.) No need, no need, no need, no need. It’s fine. I’ll just hang it here. You’re not supposed to carry this type by hand anyway.
Everything OK, guys? (OK.) I did not expect to see you here. I didn’t expect to see you. I just arrived. Things are still messy and dirty, and… (Master has been busy running around.) I brought a lot of animal-people with me. And I “stink.” (Master smells so nice.) But not really. I don’t really stink. Anyway, what I mean is, not in shape to see any guests. It’s just because they said, “Master, we’ve made a door and something down there. It’s beautiful.” I said, “I know. I told you to do so.” He said, “But it’s beyond Your imagination. We made it very beautiful.” Then he tempted me to come down and have a look. Because it’s 2 o’clock (AM) now; it’s 1-something. (One thirty.) (Almost. Almost.) I thought everyone was sleeping. I dared not disturb you. But when I came down, there were so many people. (It’s because of Master.) It’s all husting and bustling. I thought you were all asleep. Luckily, I came down. (Yes.) There are lots of interests, like touching heads and stuff. A lot.
I tell you this. It’s very complicated to bring along so many animal-people. But the kids came to my mind. They will definitely enjoy seeing things like those bird- or dog-people and so on. So even if it was a bit inconvenient, I still tried my best to bring them here. (Thank You.) It was so crowded for us. The whole car was full of animal-people. Even where I was sitting, there was a dog-person sleeping on my… (Lap.) On my lap. (On Your lap. Yes.) I brought so many animal-people. It was very inconvenient and I had to squeeze. Even the seat where I sat, there was a dog-person on top of my lap: a big one, like 30 pounds (~14 kilograms). (Wow.) She thinks she’s a lap dog-person.
She thinks she is a little… (Little baby.) Little baby. (A little dog-person.) Little and spoiled… (Pet-person.) Pet-person. She just lay there sleeping so, so soundly. I dared not move. Because it was good that she was sleeping. If she had gotten up and wanted to run around, it would have been more troublesome for me because there was no space. She thinks she’s a lap dog-person and she slept so well on my lap that I didn’t dare to move because I was happy that she was sleeping. If she wanted to wake up and do something or walk around, I’d be in trouble. Because I don’t want to put a leash on them in the car, and the car doesn’t have any space. The whole thing is for animal(-people): bird(-people), a lot of bird(-people). I adopted some more. And then nobody wanted to adopt them back, so I just kept them.
And also, they told me if I put them in the wild, they would not survive because these have been with humans too long. They don’t know how to take care of themselves anymore. And last time, one tried to run away, one, small one like that, small like that. And she came back two days later, hungry, thirsty. I went all over, looking for her. She was so small, but so smart, and came back. I told them, “There’s so many trees. I don’t know where to find you. You have to come back.” One and a half days later, she came back, but didn’t go home, but stayed next door. “Quack! Quack!” I could recognize her. I said, “Ah! She’s here.” I sent somebody to go and really, she was in the bush and like as if nothing happened. When she saw him, she said, “Quack! Quack! Quack, quack!” Like that.
And then when she came home, we put the food out, but she didn’t eat, like, “I’m not hungry. Oh, I’ve been outside eating at restaurants, and all that.” First-class hotels and whatever. And then we said, “OK. Maybe she’s not hungry.” So we left. And lo and behold, I looked from the window, she was eating like mad. And I was so happy, I came out, I said, “Ooh, you’re hungry? You eat. Does it taste good?” And she just, “Quack! Quack!” She ate nothing anymore. My God, I cannot believe it! And then when we ran inside, tried to look through the hole, she ate like mad again. Whoa! So hungry, hungry.
So actually, I was happy. I thought, “OK. If God wants you to be free, that’s what I want you to be. I would really be happy that you all can be free, but I’m afraid you cannot survive. So if you’re free, it’s good, good. Go, go, enjoy!” Well, one and a half days later, she came back. Then we had to take her to a doctor to check whether she had anything from outside because of wild bird(-people) and all that. And nothing happened. Probably, she just stood around there all day. No, no, she went far. She went far. Somebody saw her, because we put up posters and all that immediately. And somebody saw and called. She was in that and that area. But very far. She doesn’t have such big wings, how could she fly so far? I can’t believe it. But she came back, though. Came back. Oh, happy. And after she came back, she is so sweet, oh, so sweet, always sticks around and doesn’t want to go anywhere. So funny.
You don’t understand at all? Does anyone understand? Is there anyone who doesn’t understand? Raise your hand. Anyone who doesn’t understand? Oh, you don’t understand? You poor thing. Is there anyone who can translate into Cantonese for her? (It’s OK. Mandarin is also OK.) Mandarin is OK… Then speak Mandarin for her. (OK.) I’ve talked for so long. Am I doing the translation later? You need the translation? No. (Japanese.) Japanese? Hey, hey, hey, hey. Honda, Suzuki. What all does the Master have to do? What I’ve said doesn’t matter much. I was just talking about those bird-people. Nothing that matters so much. Just chitchatting. Nothing important. (OK. It’s alright.) (Love, love.) But it also matters. It does. Just like us. We’ve been roaming around here and there. But nothing beats coming home. Right? (Yes.) We thought we were free, but we were starving. Nothing great. We came down here from Heaven, messing around, doing everything. After a while, everything becomes no big deal. Everything is just no big deal. No matter how much money you have, it’s no big deal. Big houses are also no big deal. Good cars are also no big deal. Good wives are also no big deal. Good husbands are also no big deal.
I said that I’m just talking, like, talk-talk, small talk about bird-people, so there’s no need to translate so much if you don’t understand, for the Chinese. And the Japanese want me to speak Japanese. And, of course, I’ve already spoken. You see, they understand, they’re laughing. But I said my talk has nothing to do with spiritual or anything, but it does have, it seems like us. It seems like us. We think we leave the House of the Father, and we’re free, we come in, we do what we want, we have free will, we do anything we do, and then we end up having nothing, actually. We have a lot of money, so what? And then we have nothing. We have a big house, a good wife or good husband. No, no, no, nothing happened, nothing at all really, really important. And we get older and older every day, and we think it’s no problem.
What is this? Thank you. I have them two protecting me. It’s so warm. Sit together, very warm. This is nothing much. Just something to fool me. It’s something like grain mix powder. You know? (Oh.) They didn’t cook anything for me, so this is it. A substitute. Because I did not say that I’m coming, so they did not prepare anything. I also did not prepare anything. My stomach’s empty. So this is just some simple thing. So don’t be envious. You have better things there. Anyway. What else did we say? What, what, what, what, what, what? Where were we? (Let’s finish this talk first…) (Going home…) (The meaning of…) Meaning of practice. I told already and nothing else to say now.
Thank you. It’s too sweet. What’s this? (Oats.) (Cereal.) ([Vegan] oatmeal.) (Is it a three-in-one mix?) (Vegan) oatmeal. (Three-in-one oatmeal.) You all know it. You just know at a glance. Don’t even know what I’m eating. I don’t eat so many things like you do. Every day, I have one attendant, he cooks the same thing every day. Even my dog-people don’t like to eat it anymore. You know everything I talk about. I haven’t eaten that many kinds of things. That’s why I don’t know. It’s not that I’m not enlightened. “Enlightened on eating.” I’m an enlightened Master, and you’re “enlightened eaters.” I said I have only one attendant who is also the driver and also cleaner of the house, and also caretaker of the dog-people. He cooks the same stuff every day. Even my dog-people don’t feel like eating it. Every day the food is more or less the same. My dog-people get bored and refuse to eat. They don’t want it. Sometimes my dog-people like to have (vegan) pizza, and don’t eat his food. My dog-people, they prefer to eat vegan pizza than eat his food. So we just have to put up with it. Anyway…
Where were we? What were we talking about? What did I say again? Nice to see you anyway. You’re so nice, (Nice to see You, Master.) so kind, so good. (Nice to see You, Master.) So good, so many years, so good. You’re still good, better, and better. So faithful, so loyal, and so magnanimous. No? Right? (Yes.) Big heart? (Yes.) Big head? No, no, no. Big heart only.
No, you’ve been so good. I’m very proud of you. I’m very touched. Every time I see you, I know I have to treat you the best, including scolding you that you like. Some of you like. You know, some people like that. If I don’t scold them, they think I don’t care. Some kids are also like that. You know that, huh? If you have three kids, four kids, they’re different. Some kids, if you scold them, they don’t like. But some kids, if you don’t scold them, they think you don’t care. You don’t love them and you don’t teach them. That’s the problem. And sometimes your neighbors look with the binoculars and see you scolding your kids hard, they say, “My God! What a mother!”
(Translation.) Every time I see you, I’m very touched, so I try my best to treat you the best. I also scold you. Some people like it that way. That’s best way for them. The best way for you is different. It’s different for each person. What’s good for you might not be good for him. What’s good for him might not be good for you. So it’s alright. It’s like your children. You have two or three children, and each one is different. For some, you can’t even say one harsh word to them. And for some others, if you don’t scold them, they think you don’t care about them, or that you don’t love them. That’s the way it is. Everyone is different, so I try to treat everyone the best way I can.
Because for the past few years, you’ve all been very good. Good people, good quality. Very loving, very faithful. All of you have been practicing diligently and going to any place where Master is, anytime. You’ve been very loyal in heart, very trustworthy, and diligent in spiritual practice. You’re getting better and better. That’s why when I see you, I feel very touched. I don’t know what is the best thing to do. I just do my best. I also don’t know what’s the best. I never see it as “That’s the best – it’s enough.” I never think it’s enough, but I can only do my best. I always think of you as the best, best people in the whole universe. I always think how lucky I am, always meeting such good people. So good, so good, and so kind, so generous, so big-hearted, and so loyal, and so highly spiritual, so intelligent, so wise, and so loving, so loving, so much love.
