Master's Loving Advice

While we were busy packing medicine and clothing, Master suddenly arrived. She felt something was wrong and so asked us, "How do you know which sizes are for children when you are packing all the sweaters together? How are you going to distribute them?" Everyone was dumbfounded. "You have sweaters for children or not?" Master asked.

At that moment some answered, "No!"

She continued inquiring: "Who ordered all these things?"

Then one sister answered, "A Quan Yin messenger."

"Why did my staff have to do the work? Don't you Thai people know how to do it by yourself? Didn't you see there was nothing for children? I gave you over a million Baht as you requested; not even one penny less and look at what you've bought. Nothing for children! So what will the children wear? You want all the children to die of the cold or what? Did you think there weren't any children at all, only adults? All of you really have no love for children. You don't care whether they die of the cold or not!

"Why do you meditate, keep a vegetarian diet, and follow the precepts? It's just for show! All you do is criticize, gossip about other people -- even Master. If you think you are better than me, why don't you come out and do something better than others and me? Why hide yourself at home holding your wife or husband. Some persons in Bangkok resigned. Maybe they think it's more important to stay home holding their wife and husband; and to even criticize me. Why do I have to do all these things? They are your people; nothing to do with me at all. You just don't care for your own people. I have to read the newspapers to see what's going on, where the poverty is, and tell you what to do. Even then you have no love for the children."
