The most important is selflessness, and then humility. They are the most important. Then everything comes, you’ll go higher. But if you always think of yourself, then you’ll stay there. This I can promise you, 100%.
Now, you start! Is there anything good that’s new in Germany? Do you have any good experiences, good meditation, any nice things or anything in your life? I’m listening. Anything? No? Nothing. Good, then we can meditate. Let's meditate, shall we? Maybe later, when I can remember a little better, then I'll tell you. OK. Good.
We can meditate, but it's too tight. How should we do it? Ah, someone's going down. OK, let's meditate. Good? Good. Give me room. In every room make some space so that I can go around. Understand? (Yes.) Make lots of space for me to go around. (Yes.) Go ahead. Go downstairs. Let’s spread out to every room. But don't go too far. Everyone stays here. There is another room here. If possible, all meditate here on this floor. It’s OK.
Everything OK? (Yes!) Whenever I speak something, I know where the... If I speak Aulacese (Vietnamese) and they say, “Yes,” then I know that's a Aulacese (Vietnamese) group. If I speak French and they say, “Oui,” then I know it's a French group.
Is everything OK? (Yes.) Has anyone become a Buddha? Good news! All of you are much better, at least a little bit higher. Some are already in the middle of the Third Level, some are on the Fourth Level. That is already good. Some are Third Level, higher than the Third. Before, some were low Third, like Third and Second, here in the middle here (Yes.) and now have become Third already. And some that were Third-low have become Third-high, and some that were Third-high have become Fourth, and Fourth, then a little higher. Wow! Wonderful! Good news!
The cameramen? Hey, lights on. Guys, turn on the lights first. (Yes.) Everybody can come in. Try to squeeze in, wherever you can. Come over. There, behind there, also. OK, OK. Here is enough. Behind, behind. From behind. Go behind there. Go behind, so you can come in.
You have to learn to be humble. Understand? Number one: Selfless. Number two: Humble. Understand that? The most important is selflessness, and then humility. They are the most important. Then everything comes, you’ll go higher. But if you always think of yourself, then you’ll stay there. This I can promise you, 100%.
I said, “The first thing is selflessness,” it means you think about others before yourself. You sacrifice. Then I said, “Number two is humility.” And number three is maybe... That all comes together. These two are enough. Selflessness always means love, anyway. Loving and kind. And humility means you put yourself last, you’re obedient, you listen to instructions, you think you are nobody. And that's good, because you don't have any body. You are saints. So, behave like one. You are saints, therefore we have no body or have no self.
Is it a problem being selfless? No problem, right? Do you have a problem? (No.) Does anyone have a problem? Anybody who has a problem, raise their hand. He has a problem? Tell him to go outside and stand in the square for ten minutes, and then there will be no problem. We have a big square outside. It is convenient. Anybody who has a problem with selflessness can go outside and stand in the square under the tree and think about it. I'm sorry, I speak English. I speak English more fluently. I try to translate afterwards. Or you translate it.
Selflessness is normal for us. It should be normal because we are saints. We don't have any body. We don't have any desire. We are not here! We don't exist. Because of that, you will go up faster. If you realize that we are not really here, we are just a shadow in this non-existent planet, world, then how can we worry about ourselves so much?
Therefore, whatever anybody says is OK. If they tell you to go here, you go here. If they tell you to go there, you go there. Especially when I say so. If I say and you don't even listen, how would you listen to anybody else – your boss at the job, or your friends?
In Aulacese (Vietnamese), it means “nhượng [yield].” What is "yield'? What is "yield" in German? Patient? Maybe. “Give way to other people.” That's how we say it in Chinese. How to say it in German? (Courteous.) Courteous? No, go behind. I mean when someone... (Obedient?) “Obedient,” OK, but “to yield”... In Chinese, “to yield” means... (Bescheidenheit!) It's not “Bescheidenheit.” “Bescheidenheit” is humility.
It means when you go together with somebody, who is determined to go ahead, then you step back. Is there no simple German word for it? Do we have to explain all that? (Restrain.) Restrain? Not always so, no. (Considerate.) Considerate? Yes, maybe. Still, it’s not it. But we understand each other, that is the main thing. We don't want to always have competition. (Yielding?) Maybe. “Yielding” maybe. OK, so, so. If you think about it until tomorrow, check the whole dictionary, then you will find what the word it is, no problem.
So, if you realize that we are nobody, and you don't need to really consider this “self,” then you always have the bigger Self. Yeah! And when you always think of this little self here, the so-called self, which is only the body, then you are just stuck there, stuck there with the little one, and you never go anywhere else, you never grow any bigger.
When you were young... You're still young and beautiful, but when you were a little younger, very young, like maybe babies or two, three, four years old, and you loved childhood so much, because father took care, mother took care. You always had something to eat, no worries, everybody protected you. You didn’t have to work. You didn’t have to go to school, even. Wow! That was a wonderful time! And you want to stay four or three years old forever? That is impossible! (f-translator: When we are small, about three or four years old, we love it when our parents protect us. Father protects us, mother protects us, we don’t have to worry about whether we have food. We are secure and know that we are protected by someone and everyone takes care of us. After we have grown up, if we still cling to this kind of state [of mind], then we can never grow. That’s why we have to give that up and be selfless in order to transcend ourselves and enter the Oneness.) Yeah! (Was it like this?) It's OK, yeah? Good, yeah? Thank you. You can also sit relaxed and translate, it’s OK.
So, it's not possible to stay three or four years old forever, enjoying all kinds of spoiling and love and care, without any worries. You cannot do that. Similarly, we cannot stay forever the small saints or ignorant saints, or very low-level saints. We have to let it go in order to grow bigger. (f-translator: We cannot always stay as a three- or four-year-old child. In order to become saints, we have to be greater and greater, transcend ourselves and not stay at the situation of a three- or four-year-old child.)
