Today
we are here to introduce you to the Supreme Master Ching Hai. (Master
and audience laugh) It is an honor for me also because She is great.
Whenever you are in trouble you just tell Her to fix it and She does,
no matter what kind of trouble. She's a "lady of solutions."
Ching Hai means the ocean of love, the Supreme Master is God. I am very
honored also to work for Her. I am one of the managers of the company,
and we have a lot of employees who're always willing to work free of
charge anytime, with or without request. It's a very funny company.
The employees request to work for free. I am popular here and maybe
you are also popular; I don't know.
The
boss always says, "No, no, no... maybe, maybe..." The real
boss always says yes before we even do anything, but the manager is
lazy, you know, been employed too long, too secure, too much salary,
good everything, everything that's happened is good, working long, and
then it's a very good position now, so now the manager is lazy just
like many other managers. Oh, don't tell the manager of this convention
center. He's different.
So
anyway, lets get back to the Supreme Master Ching Hai. She is a good
one; sometimes She's a "He"; that person changes from a "
She" to "He" all the time. Sometimes She looks like an
old lady, old man with a long beard like that. And sometimes She looks
like a young lady, a beautiful princess, beautiful king, beautiful queen,
beautiful kid ... all kinds of appearances She takes when She needs
or He needs to help someone who is in trouble. The reason they are in
trouble is because they do not know how to get into direct contact with
that Supreme Master Herself. I am here to tell you how to get in touch
with Her directly every day, with no need for AT&T, no need for
the Internet.
Master
is distracted by the brother on the sofa who begins to leave the stage,
and She turns to him, inviting him to stay, and says:
I am happy someone's accompanying me. I have been lonely in the
hotel room since yesterday. I hate hotel rooms-so lonely, with long
corridors, no one to talk to. Whenever you walk out it's just doors,
doors, and rooms, rooms. One of the reasons I don't like traveling too
much is that I hate hotel rooms. I just feel so lonely in there. The
soul is not lonely, just the mind gets lonely, frustrated. And it smells
sometimes. If you happen to get a non-smoking room it's better. Otherwise
it's not good.
So
the good thing is that I have meditation. I just meditate there and
go "Zzzt" and go somewhere else, leave the hotel room alone.
But we need to pay nevertheless. (Master laughs). It's not that you
go somewhere and the room is free. (Everyone laughs). So if we do this
meditation, we can also be in two places, at least, at the same time.
One is on the planet Earth and the other is in planet Heaven. You can
do both things at the same time. And later, if you are more improved
in your practice, you can be in many places all in one planet, and many
planets in one universe, at the same time, but still in this planet;
it will cost you a hotel room, if you stay in one. You can just leave
your body there, and still you pay for the body. This body costs us
a lot every day. Since the day we were born until I am grown this much
(Master indicates with her hands), I mean, I haven't grown that much
but still, until I am grown so much, so much money, effort, time and
energy have been put into this body! Luckily, I am employed at a good
company, doing a good job. So I am not a waste of food. (Master laughs).
