Wow! Why has it become like this today? (Right.) (We know that Master is coming.) Please sit. Why has it become so formal today? What for? There are a lot of vegan cookies and candies. No wonder. Distribute them for everyone to eat. (There are some down there.) (Master, there’re a lot here.) Tell them it’s OK to take more. Tell them to take more. (More. OK.) Use tissue paper. It’s alright to take them using tissue paper. Everyone grab a handful. Grab more. Take whatever you want. It’s relatively spacious today. Today there is more space. (Yes.) (Blessed food is supposed to be put in the blessed food basket.) (That one is blessed food.) Those people out there. Tell them to come in and sit behind there. Yes, yes. For them to eat. Tell them it’s alright to take more. Take it home to eat.
There’re children out there. Give them some. Haven’t they eaten yet? I’m worried that they are hungry. They arrived at different times. Alright. Alright. Alright. There’ll be more tomorrow. Did they buy it themselves? Wow, no wonder everyone came for group meditation. There are so many (vegan) cookies and candies. It’s so lively. Is she not initiated? (Is the child initiated?) No. (Is the woman an initiate?) (She is.) Let her in. It doesn’t matter. Wait a minute… (Worried about the child.) Is that her child? (Yes.) When he is too noisy, she has to take him out. And don’t let him in when we meditate. But it’s alright when I’m here. He can come in. I’m worried he’ll be too cold out there. Can’t finish eating. Can. Can give. It’s alright. You’ll buy more tomorrow, right? (There’s no delivery tomorrow.) Understand. Leave it there for tomorrow. We’ll give it to everyone tomorrow. (She asks if she can take one home for her family.) Is it enough for them? If not, take some more. The Korean saints. Yesterday, I didn’t touch some of them on the head. Because during the initiation, they sat too close to each other. I could not walk in. I’m petite in the first place. Still, I couldn’t walk in between.
They’re all initiates inside? (Yes.) Are there any guards outside? No. Why do we need to have guards? Is it necessary? Have the guards come in? Some of them haven’t come yet, huh? Driving cars? Driving? They’re driving and haven’t come, right? (Yes.) You can stand up. Otherwise, you’d be crushed by them. And this is your so-called benefactor. There are several more; it seems they haven’t come yet. They drive to pick up other initiates, the new initiates. It’s due to their hard work these few weeks that you can learn the Quan Yin Method. They contribute money, effort, and time to come here and work with me. Of course, I have also contributed money and effort. But when they come here to work, they pay for their expenses, including the flight tickets, accommodation and food. They pay all these themselves. In order to share with the world this Method of ours, with so much blessing and benefits. It takes a lot of manpower to “catch a few fish(-people).” Some of them are important civil servants, and some are billionaires, whom you can’t tell. It’s not that they have nothing else to do or are out of a job, that they’ve come here for fun. They volunteered to work and support me, to share with the world our blessing.
Normally, I won’t introduce them. This is the first time I’ve introduced them publicly. Normally, I can’t scold them enough. But whether I treat them well, or discipline them, they still support me very much, very lovingly. This is the best example for the world, the best example for spiritual practitioners. Totally selfless dedication. Therefore, you see, there’re still saints in our world. That’s how most of my disciples are. I just show you these examples so that you will have hope. Let you know there are still good people in the world. Through practicing the Quan Yin Method, all our best qualities will be discovered. These people are in Korea; there are more in other countries. I can’t bring all of them here. In each country, there are different working groups. I just introduce those working here in Korea. After a few days, we’ll all leave you. They go back to do their work. I continue running about, doing other work or preaching in other countries. Normally, I won’t praise them, I won’t introduce them or whatnot. This time I’ve been to seven countries, and this is the first time I have introduced them. This is the first time I introduce the Korean “employees.” Spiritual practice is really good for us. Or else where do we find such good people? They are not expecting any reward at all. Oh, yes, those from Taiwan (Formosa), come over here. Where is the driver? Has he come in? (He’s still downstairs.) Ask him to come.
Through practicing this Method, our Buddha Nature will definitely emerge. The Buddha Nature doesn’t ask for fame or wealth. It doesn’t ask for any reward. Because I have a lot of this kind of disciples, and that’s why our Method can spread to different countries so quickly. Not to mention our monks and nuns. They are even better. Our monks, nuns, and lay disciples follow me to help the world together. Of course, I’m very proud of them, but still, I often scold them. I won’t be embarrassed to say it. Because though we are very good spiritual practitioners full of lofty ideals, we are still not perfect. But can you imagine there are people like them, devoting themselves so selflessly, practicing very well, and having such a spirit to serve. Yet I still scold them, saying that they’re not perfect. Can you imagine how outside people would react?
