“Your door is forever forbidden Every time I approach It shuts aloof and cold! The curtains are drawn. I know You are in the palace. Just can’t open the door. I think one day I’ll bring along a big hammer! I’m tired! Heartbroken. Have no more patience. After all I’m only a frail mortal, You know it! I quit. P.S. Till tomorrow.” “God! Do You have ears at all? You must! In order to hear my desperate call. I think I’ll buy a pair of human ears for You tomorrow. In case You’ve lost the human heart, Please take mine So You may sympathize with All my fellow beings on the same boat, Who long for nirvana, But all they know is sorrow. Here are my human eyes offered with gladness, Please wear them 24 hours a day. So You might see How I’ve become so weary Walking this path so lonely, Forever searching for a glimpse Of Your beauty... Your beauty. For a glimpse of Your beauty I’m tired! Heartbroken. Have no more patience. After all, I’m only a frail mortal, You know it! I quit. P.S. Till tomorrow, Tomorrow. Till tomorrow.”

“(It came magically together. It was meant for Supreme Master Ching Hai to be heard by the rest of the world. This is a person who has touched so many thousands of millions of people around the world. She gives a real point of view of life’s problems and troubles and how to solve them. I was so moved by Her, I was mesmerized actually, because She is so honest. And that is so rare in today’s world to find someone like that. I’d like it [“The Real Love” musical] to go to Broadway, but I think we should tour the show around the world.)”
