You have to protect yourselves. Don’t think that your spiritual practice is good enough. You never know how much merit you have or how good your spiritual practice is. Also, it’s the collective karma of the country, and the collective karma of many generations of the family. So, we do whatever we can to protect ourselves. Don’t wait until you fall ill, and then it’d be very troublesome. (OK.)

Is there anything inconvenient today? (No.) Has everything gone smoothly? (Yes.) Are the outside vendors allowed to come in? Have they come, or not? (No. Not in time to prepare.)

OK. After we’re more settled down, you can let them come if you think it’s OK. Just like before. (OK.) Next week you can come on Sunday.

Which day is more convenient for you, Sunday or Saturday? (Saturday.) (Saturday.) (Both are OK.) (Master, Saturday.) One at a time. (Master, Saturday. Then we could be home in time to join the global meditation.) OK. Then all, for the global group meditation sessions, you may also meditate together over there. Are you worried that there is no transportation because it is too late at night? (Right, if it ends at 9:30pm, it’ll be too late for those living faraway.) Understand. Well then, let it be on Saturdays. (On Saturdays, the traffic will be less congested when they go home.) That’s good. I knew it. That’s why I told you to come on Saturday. (Thank You, Master.) That’s my instruction.

Be grateful to your Master. She takes care of everything perfectly. (Thank You, Master.) That’s right. Before you came, I’ve talked to the contact persons and let them know how to take care of you, such as your meals. I have also told them to spray the buses with disinfectant four hours before you get on the buses. Just in case someone else had sat on the buses before. Your protective gear may not be enough, and you have to sit in there for such a long time.

This is just a test-run. If nothing goes wrong, then we can continue. Every Saturday, OK? (OK.) (Thank You, Master.) What happens next will depend on the situation. (OK.) If the place is not big enough, then take turns. (OK.) Because we are now… I’ve told them to first consult with the government, and act according to their regulations. It’s the government regulation that we have to keep a distance even when sitting. So, we may not have enough space. Then we will have to take turns. (OK.) It doesn’t matter, we can always make arrangement. (Yes.) Spiritual practitioners are very clever. Don’t worry.

How about your meals? I have told them to serve you with meal box. How do they arrange now? You bring your own meal box, or prepare meal boxes for everyone? What is it? (We bring our own meal boxes, and label them with our names and Center names.) You bring your own empty meal boxes. (Yes, we bring our own meal boxes, with clear labels on them.) That’s right. That’s what I said. Put your names on them and then leave them there. Have it handled only by the kitchen team, then it is safer and more hygienic. (Understand.) It’s not being too strict; it’s for your own protection. Don’t blame me. (We won’t.) (We are grateful for Master’s thoughtfulness.) (Thank You, Master.) It’s nothing. Be grateful to God.

Well, that’s about it. If you’re from the same family, you can come in your car, or by public transport if you don’t have a car. Just that it’s safer this way. Still you should observe social distancing. (OK.) You need to protect yourselves, whether there are cases in Taiwan (Formosa) or not. You still need to protect yourselves.

Take Australia for example. They’d had no cases for a long time, but suddenly cases emerged. And we heard that China was supposed to be OK already, but it came back again. Similar cases in other places too. Sometimes they thought it’s OK, but new cases came out of nowhere. Perhaps there are some asymptomatic patients. Like the case that I just talked about, she remained infectious for 70 days, which is two and a half months. Over two months of being infectious. That person was not ill and had no symptoms, but she was carrying the virus. She can infect others for up to 70 days. It’s scary. Understand? (Understand.)

Other diseases are not like this. The heavy karma of our world has made the disease become more life threatening. These viruses have souls. They belong to the animal-people that were brutally slaughtered before. So, they are allowed to return to settle the karmic retribution. (Understand.) So, this is a very serious situation, which is very difficult to contain.

The UK enforced lockdown to their people for a long time, and then it seemed to be OK. Perhaps the people couldn’t bear it anymore, so they came out. Then, the number of cases increased again. The number of patients went even higher. So, we can’t say which country or place is safe. Understand? (Yes.) Not only the UK; the same happened to France, Italy, and many European countries. Whether they had lockdown or not, the number of cases has been increasing. Can you hear me? (Yes.) So, you must protect each other. (OK.)

You have to protect yourselves. Don’t think that your spiritual practice is good enough. You never know how much merit you have or how good your spiritual practice is. Also, it’s the collective karma of the country, and the collective karma of many generations of the family. So, we do whatever we can to protect ourselves. Don’t wait until you fall ill, and then it’d be very troublesome. (OK.) This disease does not always disappear after it is cured. After recovering, many people fall ill again. The side effects of this disease could be very serious. Even the brain or heart could be damaged. There are also other strange side effects. So, I am telling you very seriously to protect yourselves. (OK.)

This is all I can advise you. Also, meditate more for everyone and for yourselves. Otherwise, it could be worse. (Understand.) So, I can’t go to see you. I can’t even see my dog-persons. Do you understand? (Understand.) I have no one. I am all alone and have to take care of everything.

So, I can’t do a video conference. You can’t see my face. I am recording it with my phone. You’ll be able to see me later. (OK.) I can only use my other phone, the one without a SIM card. It has already expired. I am using it for video recording. Later, I’ll send the video to them, then you can see it after editing. Same like last time.

Recently, you’ve seen me talking to the Supreme Master TV team. Haven’t you? (Yes.) Yes. I look more or less the same. I look the same today. Not much difference. Perhaps a few more strands of gray hair. Because of the heavy workload, I can see gray hairs. I didn’t dye my hair, and I have just a few sets of clothes. I don’t care; I’m not in the mood.

I did create a cartoon for you to watch. (Yes.) Have you seen it these few days? (Yes.) OK. It’s just to have some fun. I didn’t sleep and eat so well like that. OK? (OK.) I didn’t have so much food, or sleep like that. It’s just a joke to make fun of myself, since I can’t mock others. Is it mocking? (Yes.) Making fun of myself? (Yes.) What did you say? (To entertain others.) (To make fun of.) I can only laugh at myself and make fun of myself. Understand? (Understand.) But in fact, I neither ate like that, nor slept like that. How could I be so lucky? (Understand.)

Alright. That was it. Are there any big questions? (No.) No? Good. Meditate more, then you will have no problem. The world is ephemeral after all. It is just an illusion. I know it is all illusion while I am doing my job. That’s why I can let go of anything at any time. OK. So, you do the same. (OK.) Practice to become like that. (Understand.) It means that we still do what we need to do. But we don’t cling to it. So, we can be free, be at ease and be liberated. (Yes.) (Thank You, Master.)

Alright. Let’s pray to God, Buddha and Bodhisattva that everyone is safe, peaceful and carefree. (Thank You, Master.) We’ll meet again when there is a chance. Is that OK? (Yes. May Master be safe. Master, take care.) Thank you for taking meditation seriously for the world and for yourself. I am very pleased with you. (Thank You, Master.) I’m also taking it seriously. I also meditate and work very hard. Not like what’s shown in the cartoon. No. Not at all. (Understand.) My life was supposed to be like that. That’s right. But I am not so lucky though.

Alright. Thank you for your effort in meditation and work, (Thank You, Master) and earning merits for yourself, for your family, for the world and the nation. (Thank You, Master.) Meditate more. (OK.) Pray more. OK. Bye-bye. (Bye-bye.) (Thank You, Master.) (Master, please take care.) Love you. (Love You.) (Master, we love You.)
