Those who need hats can come to buy them now. (Master, the hat…) (The hat over there, that one.) For you. (How much is a hat?) (Eight hundred [NTD] dollars each. Eight hundred.) Ask them to pay in NT dollars. (NT, NT.) Only, only if needed. Only if you need one. If you don’t need, don’t buy. No, no. (No.) If it’s a monk, give it to him free of charge. (OK, Master.) Ordinary people have to pay. (Yes.) How much is this? (Five hundred [NTD], yes.) Brother, it’s yours.) Only 500 (NTD) dollars. Buy it only if you feel cold; if not… Other people may need it. Don’t buy it all… One person cannot buy two hats. One hat for each person. Got it? One person can buy only one hat, OK? Because many people will need them. One person, one hat only.
Ah, he’s buying two. No. You buy two – cannot. No, no. No. (No, let me say this. This one is for my husband, and this one is for…) No. No husband. No. No. Next time. No, because this time we need a lot for people. After, after, when finished, you can buy more, OK? No more now. Only one. One person, one only. Cannot buy for people at home or anything like that. Because [they’re] for the people here, they meditate, you know? Wait. One person, one hat only. Even if each person can only buy one, it’s not enough. Not to mention the one there is buying two. No. If you already have a hat, you don’t buy. This is for the people because it’s very cold. I’m worried that they’re cold. Not because we need to sell this. We don’t have enough. One person, one only, understand? (Yes.) Only one. You cannot buy for people at home, no, no. Only for you here, OK? You translate in… Because we don’t have enough for the people in the retreat, and it’s very cold now. At home you can buy others. You don’t have to buy it from here. You got it? Each person can buy only one, not two. (Yes.)
This one? This one is OK. Be quick, someone wants to buy this… Send someone here to sell them early tomorrow morning. Some initiates may feel very cold when they come. (Yes.) They’ll need to buy these. (OK.) Then just sell to them. (OK.) Understand? (Understand.) They can come to buy these anytime. Anyone who needs daily necessities can also buy them. (OK.) Just one hat for each person. (Yes.) You watch it carefully. (OK.) One person cannot buy two hats. (OK.) You already have that one. You don’t have to buy this, no. It’s only for cold people, alright? You already have this, no need. You already have that hat, don’t buy another one. This is for those who don’t have one and feel cold, understand? OK. This is only for the cold. It’s nothing special that you have to buy too many like this. Two persons, here? OK. You can only buy it for yourself here, everybody, not to buy for people at home. Because we don’t have enough. These, we made by ourselves here, that’s why [it’s a] limited quantity. I told them to make them day and night, so that you have enough of warm clothes. Capiche?
Tong (…) and Tong (…), someone wants this. (OK.) This one is so beautiful. (Yes.) Oh, also so pretty. You never give me such beautiful things. What’s this? What kind of fabric is this? Is this flannel? (Yes.) How much is it? (This isn’t expensive.) The one just now… What was it that you took before? It’s strange. It’s very easy for me to earn money. I just touch this and that. Then you buy. Then I can earn money so quickly. Designing clothes and all that, making trouble for myself. I can make money like this. You’re “crazy.” You’re “crazy.”
Ah? (Dug out from Hualien.) Was it originally fragmented like this? (Yes, yes.) Did you array this? (They did it.) (Fragments in packs.) Great. OK. Look, they are so beautiful and each in a different shape. Each is different in style. But it’s too coarse. Why? (Too rushed and that’s why…) Only because of the rush? No, no. Are you also in a rush on this side? You see, it’s very coarse. You can see it. Why? Doesn’t look nice. Why didn’t you glue this side before gluing that? (After this part is glued, then glue the other one, and then assemble them.) How? Say that again. (Because of it… while we were gluing, this…) I can see it. Too much on the edge. Who painted it? You? (Yes, I painted it.) No, no, no, no, too lousy. Lousy, lousy. The whole thing is good, just this edge is lousy. And it also needs touch-ups on the inside; do you understand? Otherwise, it looks so ugly. (Next time I’ll add a wooden board, like this piece of board, and align it.) Look, it’s so ugly here. You glued them like this so casually, and that’s why so… Another one, here. All these parts that we can see have to be glued. This side also. (OK.) They have to be glued on the lotus. Got it? (OK.) Write it in English here. (OK.) Otherwise, they won’t understand. …Twenty-seven US dollars. Is there anyone here good at English? Go and ask them to write it down. Quick.
Alright. (OK.) Good night. Good night! (Good night! Master.) You don’t touch, OK? If everybody touches, it [gets] very dirty and kaput. No touch, OK? (Yes.) Just look at it. You can look at this, but don’t touch it. The material is delicate – it’s newly made. Not everyone is allowed to touch it… Whose child is that, do you know? (Yes.) Disciples of Master don’t do that. It’s only because there are other tasks not finished yet that I let it be done, not because someone was touching it all over. Understand? (Yes.) Don’t touch, OK? (Yes.) Someone tell them to write it down in English for them. (I wish You a Happy Lunar New Year, Master. Master, wishing You a Happy Lunar New Year again.) Ah, ah. Happy Lunar New Year to you all. (Wishing Master to stay forever beautiful, forever young. May Your Dharma body be in good health, and may all beings be easily liberated.) I have too many “children,” I’ll grow old.
No, no, no, no need, no need, no need. I don’t want to see. If I look and touch them, they’ll keep buying and buying, thinking that I want to earn money. If I keep touching everything, it looks like I want to sell something to you, but it’s not true. It’s not mine. This one’s somebody else’s. Oh, this one looks nice. Oh, very nice. (This one looks good.) Does this one look good? (Yes.) Is it very beautiful? (Very beautiful. Really beautiful.) (OK. It will be gone tomorrow.) No. Don’t touch. Why would it be gone? These things are nothing special. (Yes, that’s right.) You can buy this anywhere. Not very pretty. Lovely. Wow, lovely. Nice. Yeah, they made it not bad. It’s not me. I didn’t make it. Somebody else made it. They just bought [them] from outside. Maybe fellow initiates. Maybe disciples made it, but not me. I sometimes come here and buy things. Yeah, I did not make it, I just buy it.
Hey! How much is this? I don’t have money. Do you? (No money.) No money. How much is this? (Master, do You need money?) Never mind, I’m just joking. I can deduct it from them, but I have to know how much. If I take it like this, they will have less, and they won’t know why. Hey! How much is this? One hundred fifty (NTD)? (Price is marked on it.) There’s no price. (Yes, $150 [NTD].) Really? (Yes.) Why is it crossed out many times? Is it really $150 or $450 (NTD)? ($150 [NTD].) So cheap? (Yes.) OK. I’ll have one. Note it. Write it down. (OK.) Don’t you have 150 dollars (NTD)? (Yes, yes.) No. You have too much money. (Here, Master. This money here.) Alright. No. No, no need. Just write it down. (OK.) Because I took one. (OK. OK.) Write it down. (OK.) Write it down. Otherwise… they’d say I “stole” it. That’s not good. Otherwise, they think I “stole” it.
Oh, this is nice, huh? Beautiful. This person, very beautiful. (Yes.) This is really nice. Where is this from? It’s so beautiful. So beautiful, where is it from? I’ve never seen it before. (Yes.) Is it the big one? (Yes, Master.) Oh, it’ll look even more beautiful if you make it smaller. (Master.) Nice. No, no, don’t do that. (Alright.) Everything is yours. If you want to buy anything, you buy. Keep it, otherwise… Just let me see things, won’t you? If you just do like this, I dare not look at anything. Wow, this is beautiful. It’s really pretty. I’ve never seen this one before. So beautiful. (Yes.) Where from? How can there be such a beautiful person? (Originally, You are like this.) No. She’s beautiful only in the picture. More beautiful in the picture. Such nice skin. Such a beautiful person. (Beautiful.) I like it. (“I like it.”) I like it. (Wrap it up if You like it.) I’ve never seen this one. (Yes, You did.) This one is so beautiful. Is this one also printed? Printed out even when the person can’t be seen? Strange. This one is very beautiful. I’ve never seen it. Why haven’t we printed it before? (We have printed smaller photos.) Only the small ones, not the big ones? Then why don’t you print the big photo? (Both sides.) Because of the background on both sides. Trim it off. (OK.)
This one is so beautiful. What a pity if you don’t print it. (OK.) It’ll look nice when printed as a poster. (OK.) This one is so beautiful. This person really looks nice. (Yes.) No. She is rather photogenic. She is photogenic, huh? (Yes.) Very photogenic. This one and this one… This one, this one, beautiful. These two are pretty. (Beautiful.) Huh? (Beautiful.) Huh? (She’s so clever.) It’s the same, same, same thing. Really so beautiful. I also like them. (Master, this one.) This one… I seem to have seen it before. This one is nothing, it’s often available. This one is very beautiful. This is a very soft-looking photo. (Yes.) So beautiful. (Yes, very beautiful. Beautiful.) The photographer must be very good at it. Who took this picture? So nice-looking. Who took this? You don’t know. (It’s because Master is good-looking.) No. I’m good-looking, but this person took very beautiful pictures. This one is also nice. That’s right. But this one is more often seen, this facial expression is often seen. But the photographer took it rather crudely. This picture is so soft, so beautiful. (Yes, yes.) Who took this picture? (We’ll check.) Try to find out. (OK. OK.) This person takes very soft-looking photos. It looks very soft, very beautiful. This one I’ve seen before. This one is so beautiful. This one is my favorite. (OK.) Nothing special. Some of them are not beautiful. Only this one is so beautiful. (OK.) This one is so nice. There are other nice ones, but this one is really nice. Many of them are beautiful. Just this one is so beautiful; I like it so much. This one I’ve seen before, but it also looks very good. So beautiful. This one is good, my favorite. Print more of this for everyone. (Good.) I’ll take two.
Still snatching. You’re “crazy”! I dare not stay there. I dare not stay there. I dare not stay there anymore. Because you’ll think I want to sell something. It’s not true. (No.) I just want to see. Because I didn’t see this before. It’s really beautiful. So beautiful. So pretty, so pretty. (This one is prettier.) (Yes.) Beautiful. This one looks nice. (The photo is so beautiful!) The photo is beautiful. This photo is just beautiful. (Yes.) It’s not that I’m beautiful, it’s because the photo was taken nicely. (Beautiful.) And it was even taken in the Aulacese (Vietnamese) style, how beautiful. (Gentle.) It was shot a bit softly. (Yes.) Beautiful. This one was taken a bit too sharply, so it’s not that beautiful. This one is so-so. Only this one is so beautiful. (Beautiful.) This one also looks nice. (Give me this one.) (USD 8.50.) (Bye-bye.) Bye-bye. (Bye-bye, Master.) If I stay there, you’ll buy everything. (Good night, Master.)
