I’d just sat down and taken a couple spoonfuls when the phone inside rang: “Master, why didn’t You let me see You earlier?” Then (Supreme) Master Ching Hai asked, “Who is this? Who’s on the other line? What do you want?” They were so scared and their voice trembled on the other end, “Yes… yes… yes… it’s m-m-me-e-e.” Then (Supreme) Master Ching Hai said, “Who is ‘me’?” […] She raised Her voice a bit, and the other person got so scared they hung up immediately.

It’s fun, fun to come here, right? (Yes.) Your mind is relaxed, light and carefree, and then you meditate, it nourishes your spirit, (Yes.) there’s nothing to worry about. At least for four, five, six, seven days, there’s nothing to worry about. (Yes.) It’s just like when I stayed in the hospital last time. […] But staying in there too long, the doctors and nurses come in asking for blessings. The day that they started asking for blessings, that day I ran away. […]
