Alright, goodnight. (Good night.) God loves you. Come for the initiation tomorrow. You take her. And the other sister, she wants to see me, right? (Right.) Then you can come up here and have a look. Otherwise, you cannot. Or I go down. It’s OK. I go down. Is there any place to go? You’ve got a jungle here. Jungle. Now here it is. Beautiful flower, nice flower. So nice. Nice smell. Smell so nice. Please, it’s OK.
What’s your name? (Amelia.) Amelia. (Amelia.) Oh, what does that mean? So beautiful. Amelia. (It’s just Amelia.) Just a name. (Yes.) It’s beautiful. She doesn’t look like you. Surely you’re sisters? Are you sure? (The other one doesn’t look like either one of us.) Oh, really? (No.) And you’re sure you’re sisters? (I don’t know, we can be.) But your mother knows. That’s important. The Australian guy, is he all gone? (No, I’m still here.) Oh, still here? (Yes.) (Yes, Master.) Oh, what’s wrong? You don’t want to leave America? (Stay a few more days.) Few more days only. (Yes.) Australia? (Yes, right.) And the guy, the big guy? The other one is gone? OK, good. Anyone else?
Wow, the same faces all the time, the same beautiful faces. Everybody OK? (Yes.) A little disciple? Why didn’t you return to San Jose but come down here instead? (We are staying here, Master.) Really? (Yes.) Where is Nine (Chín)? (Haven’t seen her, Master.) Oh, this one, Mrs. Chín. (Yes.) Ah, Miss Chín. This one is Miss Chín, that one is Mrs. Chín. So many Chín (Ripe)! All “ripe” and no one is eating. Anyway, Master apologizes. The other day in Hawaii, I criticized you two for cooking poorly, (No.) and today, Heaven had punished, and the other two cooked even worse. Couldn’t eat anything, becoming “fatter” each day. Did you have translation? No. (Yes. Yes.)
I have met two of my cooks here and I said, “I apologize.” Because, in Hawaii, they cooked for me and I said to them they cooked so lousy, and now God punishes me, the karma comes to me. And in Los Angeles, they gave me another two who cooked even worse than that. I couldn’t eat a thing. So, be careful, don’t tell people that they’re lousy. The karma will come next day, very fast. No, actually I have to apologize to all of them. It’s not the food, it’s me. You know, I eat all these coughing candies and I lost all the appetite. That’s the problem. So, I have to come back again to eat the food to verify whether it’s truly lousy or not before I criticize again. But you know I’m not really critical. Really, because I cook fantastic. That’s why. Nobody else cooks like me, right? (Yes.)
Why [do] you sit so far? You’re alright? (Yes.) What’s the matter? (Don’t know what happened.) (Please wait a moment.) Oh, that’s it? Alright. There will be initiation tomorrow, right? Do you want to come? Oh, no? OK. I thought you didn’t know. (I just got back.) Did you just come from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)? Refugee? (Yes.) Did you come by boat? (No.) No? (I came under family sponsorship.) Ah, family sponsorship. How is it, is it cold here? (Yes, it’s cold.) This person too? (Yes, also a fellow disciple.) Not really. (I want to receive Master’s initiation.) Oh, really? So tomorrow at 2 (PM), OK? (Yes.)
Have you gotten used to being here? Probably not, right? (Yes, I have my children here.) Oh, but they work all day and night. (Yes, they all go to work, I’m alone at home.) Exactly. I told you but you didn’t listen. (Yes.) Master said America is different from Âu Lạc (Vietnam). (Yes.) The children are very busy. Sometimes they have to work more than ten hours just to pay the rent. (And I don’t know the language.) Yes. Not knowing the language here is like being in prison. Like being mute and deaf. You have a mouth but can’t speak. Well, stay here and enjoy, but if you don’t like it, you can go back to Âu Lạc (Vietnam), right? (Yes.) It’s harder to come here, but easy to go back. (Just endure it for a bit longer.) Really? (It’ll be about ten more hours.) Oh, really. Wow, that’s tough.
It’s nothing to translate, really. The lady just came from Âu Lạc (Vietnam) and she just wanted to greet me. And I said whether she is kind of used to the American way of life. She said she’s not yet. Because the children are working all day and it’s not like in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) where you have neighbors and all that. (In Âu Lạc [Vietnam], I saw Master’s video. Now, hearing that Master is coming here.) Thank you.
Hi! Hallo. I see you. Are you alright? OK? Oh, how come I didn’t see any of you today? You just come now? (Yes.) You three? (Yes, also us.) Are you cold, sister? (A little.) A little? I’m very sorry, we don’t have a hall here. This is a “cheap” tradition. This is good for everything; good for earthquake, and we don’t worry about fire. It costs not much.
The Mexican. Oh, you don’t look like any of the two of them. They’re really sisters? You come tomorrow for initiation? Welcome. Welcome. Yes, it’s OK. Hi! (Hi.) Oh, so you are separated today? (No, we are not separated.) One here, two there and three there, and the other two…
(Wanbewaba would like to speak to You for a few minutes if we can have.) Now? Here? (Yes.) Say it to me, yes, please. (Thank You very much.) Yeah. What? (Wanbewaba humbly requests to You to have some minutes.) Some what? (Some minutes.) OK. (Yes, for him.) I’ll see to that later. (Alright. Thank You very much.) Actually, today we didn’t plan for you. I didn’t know you were coming. I thought last night you were busy and then you went somewhere else. (No. We have been caught up in a traffic jam. So…) Oh, I see. I see. (Yes. And we have been lost a little bit.) Oh, I see. (We came, we had just ten minutes when we have left.) Oh, I see, I see. (Yes.) OK. Never mind. It’s OK. (Thank You.) Don’t worry. I see some of you behind there. Difficult to see though, but I see some. (Yes.)
So, OK. What can I do with so many people? I can only look and appreciate your beauty and your virtues. I’m sure you have some problems but so do I. I have more problems than you. But I’m always smiling. So you’re happy now with me? (Yes.) Yes. I see you tomorrow. I’ll see you tomorrow. (Yes.) See you tomorrow. (OK, see You tomorrow.) I have some work to do. Master is busy. (Yes.) OK. Good night. Good night. Buena noche! Bonne nuit! Gute Nacht! Sayonara.
Becky. You take all the guests into the room because they’re cold. They’re not used to this climate. You, please come into the room and I’ll come to see you later. Give them the best room in the house if you have one. Good night. (Yes. Good night.) What? (Good health.) Good health. Ah, thank you! OK. (Master is receiving guests.) Blessing? (Not yet.) Like a kung fu master. Blessing? Do you see anything? See anything? (Yes, we do.) See? See? See? (Yes, we do.) Catch. Catch. See you tomorrow. (Yes.) Share these among people. (Yes. OK.)
