I’ve never heard of people who get four awards in one day. The Mayor really took time to do it, the government of Honolulu. They never did it before, so they had to print it specially. […] The Americans say to me, one of our American disciples, she said to me, “I never heard of anyone who is living and gets a day.” […] Some would say, “This is even more worthy than the Nobel Prize,” the World Peace Prize that the American government awarded me. They think it’s even more important, better than the Nobel Peace Prize. […] And this, in Hawaii, he never gave it before. (Wow.) This Mayor never gave it before. […] And then get the day of [Supreme] Master Ching Hai, the 25th of October. […] And then a statue to be placed in the public park.
So, I thank you for all your love, your affection, and your time, that you have come and that we can share with each other these wonderful moments in Hawaii these days. (Thank You, Master.) So, I’m very proud of you. (We are proud of You.) Because you practice well, so America will be more clean and then more tending toward higher thinking, more spiritual thinking. And therefore, our teaching or our presence is beginning to be accepted lovingly, willingly by the public and even by the governments. So that’s a good sign. Let’s work more for it, and let’s preserve our strength and our determination to clean up the planet. And to make all citizens of this world become honorary citizens of Heaven. […]
So please help me to fulfill this mission. And our world, we hope, we pray, that it’s going to be better and better and better. And we feel that it’s going to be better, despite the economic struggle, but that is a cleaning process. The fault is not with the present administration. It’s just there is a cycle of economic kind of recession after every 12 years or something like that. I heard, I’m not an economist, but everything up would go down, then up again. So we have no fear for the future. We just do our present work every minute of our life, then the future will be OK. […]
