hallo. hallo, your mama is here! how are you kids? who is sitting outside? too cold, come inside. and close the door today. come in, both of you. yesterday,you prayed very hard. i got better almost immediately.

and now, today, you didn’t. (oh!) what mean, “oh”? yesterday,because i didn’t come, and then you prayed very hardso that i’d get better so that i’d come see you. and today, you thinkdefinitely i will come, you don’t pray anymore. so i got nothing today. what’s wrong?

how come nobody prays for me? bad people. suddenly, i feel so good. today i stayed awake all day. before, these few weeks, i just lay flat in bedalmost all day, all night, except when i came here. yesterday, i felt likeon top of the mountain, i mean on top of the planet,on top of the universe, whatever.

and today, we got the resultfrom the doctor. nothing wrong with me at all! absolutely! i mean the result was (from)when i was still coughing like hell, oh, excuse me,i mean like h-l-l. and when i came here,i started coughing again, and now i see you, i stop coughing. i don’t know what’s wrong. anyway, nothing wrong with me.

my body is…they say i’m perfect, no? (yes.) (yes.) it’s perfect. normal (in french). yeah! perfect (in spanish). all okay (in spanish). why coughing, i have no idea. and the doctor sayshe has no idea. so maybe i just have to go to… maybe allergy, but it’s not it.

i’m sure it’s not it. really not it. because there cannot beanything in the house because i vacuum every day,almost every day. sometimes two times a day. a little cave, how many ã¡caros (mites)can stay in there? we don’t have enough placefor human and dogs, how can an ã¡caro (mite)come there?

you know, the bed bugthat causes you allergy, supposed to. and i asked the doctor,“could it be?” he said, “no, it’s not it.” so i don’t know what it is! maybe you know! all of you! not praying diligently! praying only half and thengo eat the soup and forget,

forget your master,sicky and tired and all that. okay. there is that. no questions today? newcomers, raise hand. newcomers? wow! a lot. with the retreat supposedto end on the 21st already, what are you doing here? i was supposedto come here today, after the 21st, thinking thatthe house is empty,

i’m going to put my feeton top of the roof and celebrate my freedom. and then here, the house is stillfull again, upstairs and downstairs. why (in spanish)? why (in french)? why? why (in german)? why (in chinese)? why (in vietnamese/aulacese)? okay, never mind.

listen, i feel very good that at least i’m not likeinfecting you or anything. when i went to the doctorthe other day… are you interested? (yes!) because i told youall the stuff about buddhas and jesus and muhammad, whoever already,so i’ve run out of stories. so i only tell you my story. if you’re bored,

you just do quan yin(sound meditation) and do quan quang(light meditation), pretending you’re diligent. the doctor asked me, he’s surprisedwhy i came so late, meaning why i waited so longand seeing me cough so much. i wanted to tell himthat i’m used to the pain, but then he would ask why,so i stopped. i said in the beginning,

normally everybody coughsand you just go to the pharmacy, take the syrup. you wouldn’t go to the doctorfor that. anyway, when i firstcame to the doctor, i was bundled up, and coughing non-stopand covered my eyes with glasses, of course,and covered my mouth from here to here and coveredwith things and hood and everything. it looked likesome bank robber coming to him.

so he was scared to… i saw himwalking up and down outside. the nurse told meto wait inside, he’s coming. but he’s not coming. through the crack of the door,i saw him walking up and down, in and out, doing nothing. not like he’s busywith another patient. and walking, walking,walking, and i was thinking, “maybe he’s so scared of me.”

finally, he came. well, i don’t blame him,the way i looked, and i coughed so much. and secretive, stand in the cornerand she does all the paperwork. and they even asked herwhat’s my birthday. she doesn’t even know. she said,“okay, 63, something.” oh, even more secretive.

what kind of person, friendand don’t know birthday, and “63 something.” and the name is“so-and-so something,” address is“so-and-so something.” “oh, she lives somewherein taiwan (formosa).” “she does something.” what kind of job,“does something”? of course,everybody does something. now then, i’m telling you.

so i don’t blame himif he was kind of scared. he was walking up and down,in and outside, “clok, clok,” i heard him and i saw him. but he probably thoughti was not noticing. when he came in,i knew it’s the same guy. sharp eye, you know,i’m waiting for doctor, i’m coughing, what is he doing? why doesn’t he come? so i was very attentive,looking at him.

and i kept following him,but he just didn’t come in, he just wouldn’t come in. so i kept waiting and waiting. and then finally, he came. he also covered. he wasn’t wearing glassesbefore, but when he came in, he wore also glasses, and he wore the big mask, like those for the gas,gas mask,

almost like world war iior something. what is that? it’s my medicine time,but i’ll take it later. i’m supposed to be betteralready, but yesterday, the day before,i took everything. after i saw the doctor, i’m reallyscared because it’s so painful. painful. i’m not scaredbecause of coughing. i’m scaredbecause every time i cough, it feels like my whole bodywould fall apart,

different pieces fall apart. because it’s so painful,it’s like shaking the whole body, so i was really scared. i don’t want to get worse, and i don’t wantto go have an operation again. my god! god knowshow many already had, and i’m reallyscared of the knives. because operation is not fun. sometimes, after operation,they put you in a cold room.

they don’t let you have a heater on,even in winter. and you’re frozen, freezing,you can’t even rest because it’s too cold. and they don’t let you have bags. i snuck in like a small warm bag,but they took it away. because it’s a dangerous operation, they don’t want your blood busted,the wound and all that. oh, it was hell. so i really had enoughwith that for now. even recently as well.

my god. so i was really scared. i’m telling you why i’m scared,scared of operation. well, sometimes i volunteer,but sometimes i really don’t want to. and even sometimes i don’t want to,but i still do it. and sometimes i volunteer,but i still don’t want to. sometimes i want to,but i don’t volunteer. ah, whatever, you know. sometimes i delay, delay,

because it’s too much troubleand suffering, and it’s not only the pain,but the psychological worry, and also becausei cannot always give my id. real identity. it’s a trouble, and i don’thave anybody to guard me. when i’m unconscious,i don’t know what would happen, and all kinds of things. of course, the soul is willing to do it,but the mind gets scared. too many bad experiences.

and sometimes, the doctor forgets the knivesin your stomach, or… well, it happened, no? it’s not a joke! you don’t know that? (yes.) or he forgot his contact lensin your ear, whatever. and then have to do it again. so i’m really scared,while unconscious, like that. anybody can do anything.

and your relatives are not supposedto be next to you 24 hours, not in the operationand not after operation, not all the time. and i can’t afford to have toomany people knowing what i’m doing. i don’t want people to worry. so yesterday,not just yesterday, but many days already,so much pain. and i worried that it may get worse. if something happens to the brain,it spreads all over.

because pain everywhere. so i went to the doctor, and then had to wait for the blood testto know what happened. otherwise, you don’t know. mostly they just check you,check everything’s okay, then x-ray okay, just wait for the blood testin case of anything. and it takes 2, 3, 4 days,until today it came. because i was so scared,so during all this time,

before that and after that, i was waiting also, and before that, i tookall kinds of things, the things that you gave me yesterday,whoever, russian. i took double that,what you told me. i’m sorry,you said no side effects, so i triedto see if you tell the truth. it’s no side effects. and i also tookwhatever medicine that

i was going to throw away,i took them all. not all, but i mean,took them just like usual. and then, i also cut garlic,onion, whatever, “forbidden foods.” you’re not supposed to eat garlic. i don’t care. it’s supposedto drive out the demon, right? so i took it to scare him out,to see if it works. and then, i ate a lot ofkorean instant noodles.

number one, because i’m too tiredto cook for myself. number two,because these instant noodles, korean kimchiinstant noodles are sharp. you breathe out and all themosquitoes run away from you. because they know if they just sting me,then they’d just drop dead. bust! so, anyway, i took everything, all together, i mean, separate times so that in casethey’re against each other.

so i took all kinds of thingsthat i thought it might help, all together. so, yesterday, it became better. i was so happy. and today, i don’t know,it seems like it begins again. but i feel it’s still better than before. not wheezing like nonstop, then you would collapse on the floor,or like you can’t breathe. it’s scary!

but it’s better even thoughit’s not as good as yesterday. oh, yesterday, i felt good. and the whole day today,i feel like i’m on top of everybody. that means, on top of the world. that’s what they say,“you feel on top of the world.” but that really meanson top of everybody. my interpretation, excusez-moi(excuse me in french). and then, i went to the doctorto see the blood test.

so, today the doctor asked me, “ah, you look good today,you better?” i said, “yes, i’m on top of the world.” so, he said, “what did you takethat makes you feel better?” i said, “i took everything, doctor,all things. and please, don’t go too nearbecause i ate also garlic.” so he said, “no, don’t worry.” and michelle,she keeps telling me that i don’t smell.

i don’t know if she tells the truth or if the five preceptsmean anything to her or not. how can somebody eat garlicand doesn’t smell? maybe it’s neutralizedby so many herbs and candy and lemonand another type of garlic. neutralize each other. and ginger and lemon,and salt and pepper, and this korean kimchi noodle. i don’t advise you to ever try.

it’s pretty hot. i’m not joking! but i eat it on purpose. it’s so hot, but i want it. because the garlic and the gingerand the hot pepper, they’re supposedto drive the devil out of me. i don’t know whatever it is,but it must be negative, negative power. sometimes it comes in the form ofinsects even, to bother you.

it doesn’t only comein the form of human or the thing, whatever you call it,with two horns on top. it comes in the form of a worm,flies, bees, mosquitoes. because only the insects, they can connect with youmore than the humans. i mean, humans cannot cometo my cave. i lock it well. but a mosquito can. even if we have a mosquito net,there’s some tiny, wincy,

that kind called a sandflyor something. one lady, before she came here, she said she originallydidn’t want to come. well, not really doesn’t want to come, but feeling hesitant to come, because last time she came, the mosquitoes bugged her so much. how can it be? in thailand, a lot of mosquitoes.

how can she complain thathere we have? so i don’t understand,but she was hesitant to come. and she said but she came anyway,and this time, she’s happy becausethere’s no mosquitoes at all. she doesn’t know,they all came to me. yeah, really! you don’t know it. i have evidence everywhere. before, when i was in florida,i didn’t have a lot of disciples, only with the residents,they bit me everywhere.

and then, the skinwas still swollen and itchy. itching for two months,this kind of mosquitoes. they’re called sandflies. you don’t even see them. they go through all kindsof nets and cracks and… they even go through the walls. if the negative power is in them,they go through the wall. really, because i don’t knowhow they come in my house. some bugs are as big as this.

even though all are sealed. okay, mosquitoes,i can understand. they’re small. they come through the net. but insects as big as this, those with a lot of legs,how can they go into my house? for example. so it is like that. and this time, i see not many of youcoughing or anything at all.

feel all good. (yes.) even hot weather and in and out, air conditioning and hot and cold,but you are okay. i mean not just you, but the last and last and last batches,they’re all okay. only i’m not okay. don’t talk about it, huh? so today, i told the doctori took everything possible, whatever. and then,the blood test is all normal.

i feel so good. i feel good, but nobody can explainwhy i coughed so badly. and sometimes cough too much,i really fainted. and then,i just wake up later on. but, well, fainting is a good thing,you don’t cough while you’ve fainted. that’s a good point. so whatever you did,praying the day before, is working. today, you relax because you thinki’m coming or maybe not coming. “if she’s not coming,why bother?”

“and if she’s coming,then we don’t need to pray.” right? yes or no? (no!) yeah. yeah? okay, you guys? you want to ask anything? i don’t know, here,we have a lot of mosquitoes, but in some other places,we don’t have. like in monaco, when i was there,i didn’t see any.

and italy, i also didn’t have,or maybe at that time, i’m not doing a retreat or anything,that’s why they don’t care. it’s just the more people,the more mosquitoes. i was there for a while. before we had this place,we were looking for places, i had to hole up in a hotel,but i liked that hotel very much. it’s a four-star hotel,but it’s not very expensive. i rented a room. if you stay in a room for a few days,of course, it’s very expensive,

but if you stay long, they havedifferent apartments to rent. and i looked around everywhere. if i have an apartment nearby, it’s just a simple, old apartment, maybe one room, one kitchen,something like that. i looked around. and on top of that,you have to pay electricity. or some extra costs. but in a monaco hotelat that time, off-season,

maybe cheaper,included everything. fast broadband internet, so i cando a teleconference over there. and they can send a videotape after, or whatever, a videotapethey send to me to check or i send to them. not i send, the two attendants at that time, the two ablecomputer geeks, genius. they really can do everything. and very fast internet, no cost.

because you are a regular customer. yeah, really. and i’m also a regular customerin a so-called private beach. my…! (oh, wow!) no! you don’t understand it. private beach, you go there,it’s with a big guy with a radio, running around on the beach,and the children naked, running around playing everywhere,and some guy singing. no, it’s not a private beach,like “private beach.”

there’s no such thingas “private beach” in monaco. but they call it“private beach,” nevertheless. but everybody can walk there. so it’s not private, is it? and when i firstwent to monaco last time, long time ago, i think,just to look for a house, for a place. and before that,i went into one restaurant and ate a pizzaand drank a soft drink. okay, that’s it.

and it cost about ten eurosor something, all together. including tip,it would be maybe fifteen. and then, i didn’t knowthey would remember me. maybe not too many japanesego in there anyway, maybe that’s why. so they think i’m japanese. two years after, i came backbecause i stayed very near, in a hotel for the internet. but i don’t really liketo stay there very much

because i mostly go tothe other place in a mountain. but in the mountain,we can’t have such internet. we were not evensettled down yet. to make internet, it takes long, many months or maybeat least many weeks. you have to have an addressand everything. so meanwhile, i had to workfor the supreme master tv, whatever not,world conference. so sometimes i had to run,and during running,

i always had to do conferencein the hotel, any hotel. if we can renta conference room, we can. if not, just do it in my room. even if you don’t stay one month, you rent one month,you pay one month, it’s even cheaper thanstaying one week in a room. it is like that. because they have a different rate. because if you stay in a room,

then they have to changeyour sheets every day, they clean your houseevery day for you. but if you stay long,like one month in a room, a different apartmentseparately, then they don’t change your sheets every dayfor you. they change every ten daysor every two weeks. and they don’t have toclean your house every day, either. it’s just a different rate,of course. that’s for peoplewho rent long-term,

or so they can cookbecause there are also little cooking plates inside,and a little refrigerator, and some utensils for you to use. it’s like an “apart-hotel.” like that. so it’s easier. so, i rent one, of course. even if i don’t stay a month,i would rent a month. it’s cheaper and more convenientif we want to cook something. because let’s face it,even in a first-class hotel,

they don’t alwayshave vegetarian food for you, i mean vegan. so, we were there and just a few hundred more expensivethan the real apartment. but you don’t have towrite a lot of stuff, and… because in the real apartment, you have to rent six monthsor three months at least. even less convenientthan in a first-class hotel, believe it or not.

i get smarter all the time. because i keep runningall the time. sometimes, we couldn’teven rent an apartment. so we’d do itin a trailer somewhere. cannot even rent a hotel because sometimes even ifyou want a third-class hotel, you don’t havebecause they’re all full. only a first-class hotelhas more chance that you can jump in right away,without reservation.

because most peoplewill stay in a cheaper hotel. so first-class hotelis mostly always my choice. it’s easiest and quickerbecause on the run, you can’t wait to see which hotelis better and which one is cheaper. after two, three hotels,you better accept one quick. otherwise, if you run around, sometimes you don’t have anymorewhen you come back. and you have deadlines. i had deadlines when i hada lot of teleconferences before

i can’t just stay and wait,so easy, lazy like here. and then, so any hotel, as long as it had internet connection that we could doteleconferences, then okay. at that time, i could notconsider the cost even. so, there’s oneso-called private beach, i came to eat the pizzaone time, two years ago. two years before that time. before the monaco meeting.

and at that time, i hadn’tseen you guys for a long time. i didn’t have a room,i didn’t have a place for you, so i just knew this restaurant that i came to eat the pizzaone time, two years ago. and then,he was so happy to see (me), “ah! you come back! oh! oh! how nice!” he was really happy. i said, “you remember me?”

he said, “yes,you came two years ago, you ate one pizza,one soft drink.” i said, “ah, okay. thank you. i want the same now.” and then,he gave me one free drink. i said, “no, no,you don’t have to do that. i don’t accept free things. i pay for what i have.” he said, “no, no! it’s okay.it’s for you.

you’re my regular customer.” i asked him, “regular? i could hardly find your place. i just happened to pass byand i came here. i don’t even remember.” he said, “i remember.” he said, “i remember you.” i said, “that’s good for you,you have a good memory.” okay.

i said, “but you cannot call mea regular customer. i came two years ago,and i ate just one pizza and now i comeand eat another pizza again. you can call me cheap customerbut not a regular customer.” so he said, “it’s okay. you come two years,but you come every two years. you come, regular.” okay, i said, “thank you,thank you for being so kind.” he said, “you’re a loyal customer,i have to treat you nice.”

he was very kind. so because he’s so niceand friendly, i thought, “okay, maybei have this opportunity, i’ll still stay herefor a few days or a few weeks,” i can’t remember. “maybe i’ll let the european peoplesee me as much as they can.” so, i asked him if i can usehis “private beach.” then he said, “of course.” he doesn’t knowfour hundred people would come.

all different kinds of faces. and then, different nationalitiesand all that. he didn’t know. and his private beach isas big as… you know what, right? very small. monaco is small. and his beach is, you can imagine. anyway,everybody can go anyway, but i’m polite to ask him.

i said, “i’m going to bring you business,but i will use your beach for a while.” he said, “okay.” and the story was that,long time ago, i think when we weredoing the fashion show, we went from different capitals, and then we were in paris first, and then, i was going to italy. and while in between the shows, there were ten days longwithout anything to do at that time.

and so, we rented a place in france, where we werejust eating something and then we rented a placesomewhere near monaco. and then, every daywe’d just sit, and sit, and sit, doing nothing. so the guys saw that i was bored stiff. every day just listened to the guardians,the group that came with me, they were snoringand rattled all the windows. and i said,

“could you guys pleasedo something about it? i can hear you from upstairsand the window rattles.” because if one guy snores, it’s not too bad, butall of them snore together, wow, it’s like an opera. like an orchestra. so anyway, i said, “guys,daytime, i’m so bored. nighttime, i have tolisten to your snoring. let’s go out or do something,eating somewhere.”

so we went out,ate some couscous in monaco. vegetarian, have to order first. vegan. and then, later, another few days passed by and thenwe went to a chinese restaurant. because you can’t cookin there, there’s nothing, we don’t have anythingto cook with us. we were on the road. we didn’t have pots, pans,or food, nothing.

we don’t know where to buybecause we’re new, just passing by. we went to eat, restaurant,chinese, and then, what? i don’t remember. and thenwe ran out of program (to do). they ran out of program for me. so they said, “oh.”they looked into a newspaper, “oh, master,there is a club in monaco. everybody goes there,very nice.

open-air club with bamboo around anda little pond with the frogs and all that.” i said,“oh, what kind of club?” they said, “don’t know,just said ‘something club.’” it’s in french probably,and they are formosans (taiwanese). they don’t even hardlyspeak english already, so french is somethinglike climbing himalayas. i said, “okay, club,let’s go, if you want.” they said, “okay, very nice, master.we go.” so they told me to go.

and then, so, okay,i put a dress on and went there. and we met the prince,prince albert, at that time. and at that time,i was still young and very shy. and the taxi driver, my taxi driver said, “hey, i want tointroduce you to the prince.” i said, “why? the princewouldn’t want to talk to me. i’m nobody here. i’m just a tourist.” he said,“no, this prince is very nice.” he’s a black guy,very nice-looking and very friendly,

and he used to drive stevie wonderand all this kind of thing. he told me all the listof his celebrity customers. i said, “oh, i’m none of those. i don’t know anyof these celebrities, either. i don’t think you shouldtell the prince to talk to me.” he said, “no, no, he’sa very approachable prince. he’s not like everybody else’s prince.come, come, come.” so he came and talked to the princeand the prince really came to my table. and we talk-talk-talk.

and then, he saw i had four bodyguardsaround and he had only one. maybe that’s whyhe was a little bit shy. i was also very shy at that time. i’m not used to talking-to-prince stuff. and then, he invited me,“come to the palace tomorrow. come to the palace tomorrow,”to see him. i didn’t say anything. i didn’t know what to say. because before that,before that club,

they already drove meto the palace, but outside, outside the yard of the palace, seeing the changing guardsand seeing whatever not. and then, i facedthousands of cameras. oh, i was so scared already. so, when he asked meto come to the palace, because if i say, “no,”i don’t want to offend him. if i say, “yes,”then i don’t want to go. so, i kept quiet.

i just pretended i don’t hear. he kept repeating, repeating. and i kept looking at the frog,“oh, the frog!” something like that. “oh, the flower! oh, nice, nice.” “oh, dancing people, oh!” “oh, you dance?you go dance?” things like that. i don’t remember reallybecause it was just silly things. and then, he asked me if i have aphone number or something like that.

so i gave him my phone number. and then, some days later,he called me. just talked. and i don’t remember what we talked. i really don’t. it was a long time ago already. long, long, long time. and he asked mewhere i lived at that time. i said i lived in thailand.

at that time, i did,on a golf course in thailand. so he asked for the address. i also gave it to him. then he went to thailandshortly afterward. he probably thought i was a princessor something of thailand. he didn’t knowhow they looked like until… and then, he went thereand was talking on television with the princess next to himand all that. but he didn’t come to my place.

maybe after he found outi’m not the princess or… anyway, whatever it was. why’d i tell you all this? why did i tell you all this? because of the pizzeria restaurant,pizza restaurant. and then,because i went to that club, i saw the daughter ofthat pizzeria, pizza restaurant on the beach, “private beach.” because they made a big dealout of this “private beach,”

like it’s something very exclusive orsomething very, very, very upper-class. do you capito (understand)? on the newspaper. so i want you to know,if you go to monaco, please visit. so you know what i mean,what kind of private beach is that. you have to be careful where you’rewalking in case you step on something, a dog’s something. anyway, it’s just like any other beach

if not much smallerand worse and not as pretty. so i met, by the way, metthe daughter of this person, of the restaurant, and she told me,“oh, you stay in monaco?” i said, “not really. i’m a tourist.” she said, “oh, you have togo to my father’s restaurant. and you tell him…” oh, we just talk-talk,and then she, “you tell him that you met me, thenhe will treat you specially.” she kept repeating that,repeating that.

i guess we don’t have thingsto talk about, so she kept repeating.i said, “okay, okay. i’ll come.” she gave me the addressand her name. because i just promisedjust so that she’d stop. otherwise, she kept telling meas if i didn’t hear her talking. so i said, “okay, i come, i come.i will come.” and so she gave me the address. because i promised,i came there, two years before, something like that.

so it’s allbecause of the disciples. first, they advised meto go to the club. and then at the club,met this person, and the daughter advised meto go to the private beach, so i became so famous. “club goer,”“private beach-comer.” wow! “first-class hotel renter.” but i told my assistant, two assistants,after i read the newspaper,

i said, “you two, your namesshould be there, not mine. because you both are the oneswho used it most. i hardly get there,only when teleconference. you two visit theremore frequently because you…” they went there to work,to send, internet, or to do things becausewe don’t have other means to do it. so i said,“your names, both of you, should be on the newspaper,not my name. because the room,you guys use it more than i do ever.”

just made a joke. nothing is as it seems. nothing is like people think or imagineor want to blow it around, make it big deal. it’s a very cheap place. i rented the cheapest possibleover there. it’s just for working. but i really like monaco also,and i like that hotel very much. if i stay short,then i stay in a room.

if just a few days,then i stay in a room. but if i stay long for working,might as well rent the studio, an apartment is easier. you can cook and all that,if you want to. so easy. i like that hotel very much because theymake people feel very welcomed. i don’t know if anybody else,but they made me feel very welcomed. so at christmas, if i’m there, i’ll give them some little chocolate boxfor every of the hotel employees, about 500 of them. (wow.)if i stay there.

and sometimes i don’t stay,but i’m in the near, or if the room is still in my namebecause i just rented it, but i don’t stay for working, for that time, then i alsosend a little bit of something. but it’s only one or two times,or three times. not a lot becausei don’t always stay there. they’re always very happyto see me. the valet parker and all that. because i’m very friendlyand respectful to them

because i understand their job. they stand in the freezing cold outside, just to wait for customersto come to park their car, or to welcome themand take the baggage. so i bought thema little heater for christmas. because it’s justa little booth, up to here, a little booth like that. about this tall. so they can see the customer.

but it’s not to stop the wind. but even then,if you plug a heater in there, it would also warm up somehow. because some of themworked there for thirty years or more. they became older already. and even though monaco is warm,but in winter, it snows sometimes. sometimes, it’s like snow,hailstorm. the snow is as big as this.

it covers the street. i gave them tips and all that. even if i don’t have a carto park, when i come in, they open the door, smile and all that,and i always give them some tips. and we always make jokes together. a lot of stuff, like,there’s one guy who was bald. i say, “hey!the buddha is coming!” he shaved his head. he’s a kind of a valet parker.

so he stands at the gateall the time. so he shaved the hair. and he’s the onewho can see my aura. (wow!) yes. he told me afterward. but he sees only one color. he sees only white. so i said, “wow, this is nothing.you can see it on everybody.” he said, “no! every few thousand people,i can see maybe one.

but not as good as you! not as good as yours.” i said, “okay.you just want to make me feel good.” so, he knelt in front of me. he said, “no,don’t make me tell more.” he was very, very cute. that guy, for example. and one is an indian manand i try to talk like indian. “i don’t understandwhat you’re talking about.

okay? yes?” and if it’s a japanese,i say, “arigato (thank you)!” all the time,or, “sayonara (goodbye).” that’s all i know,but he’s happy about it because somebody speaksjapanese for a change and respecting him. and there’s one gay,another one is gay, so i always hugged himand said, “wow!

i really want to marry you,you know that?” and he said, “ha! no!” i said, “okay,i’m just joking, brother.” so he told me,“sister, not brother.” he’s not shy about it. so i always made jokes with him. i would always come and hug-hugaround like very romantic, and said, “wow,you are the guy i really like. you know that, don’t you?”

just make him feel good. and many other things i forgot. or if i take a drink,something in the bar, i’d always write a note, say, “thank you ever so muchfor your friendliness, and that you work todayeven though you’re sick,” or something like that. always “thank you” them,write the note. so that if the manager saw it,they know this is a good worker.

this is the purpose, also to thank them,also like a recommendation. and we became very friendly,so they love me very much. so one day,i came back from slovenia. at that time,i already had a house. and i don’t rememberif we have it here or not. or maybe we already had. i came back from sloveniawith the president’s death. i was ill from austria hotelalready, loving hut hotel. but at that time,it was still private then.

it wasn’t a hotel yet. but the government preferredthat we make it into a hotel to make business. so, anyway, we made it. this hotel, originally, they also really encouraged usto make it into a hotel. but we already applied for private because if it’s a hotel, then it would bevery expensive for you to come. and we cannot havethat many people.

like a room,two or three people maximum. and how much you’dhave to pay for that room? have to be business, just like that, just likein the austria hotel or any hotel. when i go to the austria hotel,i have to pay, too. pay for food, pay for room. imagine! in my hotel! i was very sickwhen i came back from slovenia. and i could hardly get upto go out for group meditation

with them, but i did try. and then,when i got back to my house, i was very, very sick. it’s nothing too much wrongwith me. just coughing a lot, very tired, and i felt likei’m closed in a coffin and cannot get out. this kind of a scary,oppressive feeling. like i’m nailed inside the coffin,i couldn’t get out. that’s what it felt like.

alive. buried alive. oh, this terrible,terrible feeling! so i didn’t know what to do. and i kept running out of the house and running back and forthand in and out. i can’t sleep, i can’t do anything. i can’t even meditate. so one of my assistants said, “you go out to an outside restaurantor something.

go eat, maybe you’ll forget it.” i went tothe outside restaurant and ate, at a thai restaurant in monaco because that restaurant cooksvegetarian food very nice, i mean vegan food, very nice. so i went there, and theni also told her my problem. at that time, of course,she doesn’t know who i am, just a good customer,a “regular” customer. and then, she told me,

“oh, you better not stay in your houseif you don’t feel good there. you go to stay in the hotelwhere you stayed before because you feel good there, no?” i said, “yeah, yeah.” actually, it’s true. whenever i was there,i was always sick. but then, after a while,after some days, i felt better. maybe because it’s next to the sea. or maybe because i have nothing to do,

i go drink a (non-alcoholic) cocktailin the bar. the fruit juice cocktail. i don’t have anythingin the house, i can’t cook. so, i go there, drink fruit juice a lotbecause nothing else to do, can’t coop up in the houseall the time. so instead of going anywhere, i just go in the bardownstairs, convenient, and drink the fruit juice cocktail. and talk to the people.

so, i said,“yeah, yeah, it was good. actually maybe i should go.” and then, i went there, and i changed from one room to another,couldn’t feel better. but finally, at last,i felt better. i chose the smaller room to stay long and thencontinued to do my work. i was worried i couldn’tbecause i had appointments, what day to do what, remember?

if not speaking to disciples group,then speak to the world, or supreme master tv. i can’t remember,i was kind of busy though. so that was the hotel that i know. and it’s easy and i knowthere is internet free. normally if you don’tstay long like that, if you stay in the small room,a normal room, they charge you 19 euros per day. so actually, you rentan apartment, it’s lucrative.

because we used a lot of internet there, for sending video or recordingor teleconference, all kinds of things. but normally,it’s not the first hotel that i’d do it. when i’m on the run,we always do it in a hotel. when we can renta conference room, it’s good. if not, we do it in a hotelwith just a small, little camera. and the driver hasa little pocket computer. that’s why sometimes you seethe picture is lousy and looks strange.

because of that. but it’s better than nothing. i have to keep my promise. i run to canada,i do it in a hotel. i run to switzerland,also in a hotel. italy in a hotel. france in a hotel. monaco, hotel. oh, my god.

the journalist wrote that i live in monaco,first-class hotel. they don’t know i live everywherefirst-class hotel. wait until they know about that. it would bea bigger headline, no? just like one timei was in america, i had to go and attendsome of the invitations of the hollywood movie stars,kind of oscars things. and then, everybody wasobliged to go by limousine. not by normal car.

obliged. and one time,i was very sick also, and we had a limousine also to goto see one of your sister’s opera. she’s an opera singer. and of course,we went to see her. and i was very sick,so we had a lot of stuff. medicineand all kinds of things, to go. so, they rented mea limousine also. i don’t know if it was obliged or not,but i had to lie down.

you see, that’s why. maybe that’s why. and so, somebody also saidthat i go on limousine. i said tell him,“i go also on airplane even. i go on all kinds of airplanes. all the airplanes, i use. not just limousine,it’s nothing.” so funny how people think. there i was, happy to find a room

there i was, happy to find a roomto do videoconference to save the world, whilethey are thinking whatever they are there thinking. so happy to find a roomthat’s vacant, that i can use, with high-speed internet and all that. so happy and thanking god, while they’re thinkingwhatever they’re thinking. it’s really a strange world.
