(For the conclusion of the program, we would love to invite the Honorable [Supreme] Master Ching Hai to the stage. We have all the artists here [who have] been performing tonight, and we would love to invite them up to the stage to say hi to everybody and [Supreme] Master Ching Hai.) I’m very blessed this Christmas to be with such great personalities, artists, and talented geniuses of our time. Suppose you met Beethoven or Mozart at that time, would you swoon? These are, of our modern time. Please thank them again for me. Very, very wonderful, very wonderful. Thank you so much. (But tonight, we have a special gift for You. That is by me. This is called the bamboo xylophone, but this one I improved. It’s from the shell of the bamboo. I want to say the reason I give this gift to [Supreme Master] Ching Hai is because last year I performed in California, I was very surprised when [Supreme Master] Ching Hai said that all the money from that night was given to support Aulacese [Vietnamese] artists and my friends in Âu Lạc [Vietnam], [who are] still in my country. I am very moved. And also because of that, after that, I asked Mr. Hòa that I would like to read the book of Immediate Enlightenment. After reading that, I was very surprised, many things I never knew before. And thanks to that, it helped me very much in point of view to the music, and therefore, I decided to write the meditation music of the [Supreme Master] Ching Hai. And in the future, we still have eight songs more.) Oh, you know, would it be beautiful if you keep it for me? I don’t have a home even. I have a mobile home, and it’s just about this size. And if I put it inside, where do I sleep? Truly, yes. And you know, my mobile home is just like my office also. There are so many files and books and all kinds of things for my work already. If I put this in, then nobody can see it. It would be pitiful. I’m really, really honored, touched and very, very excited, but also very embarrassed for all these important arrangements and very supportive atmosphere. Just enjoy the evening and please help me thank and praise these artists once more, very loud and long.
