Scientific discoveries show us that everything impossible in our thinking is possible in science, in another way, or what is impossible today is possible tomorrow. Hundreds of years ago, we couldn't even dream of flying over here from Formosa or America just in some hours. Now, it is even shorter if you go on the Concorde. The time is even half or one third shorter. From New York to Europe, it takes sometimes 8 to 10 hours, depending on where. But with the Concorde, it takes 4 hours. So, this is already proof. Everything around us today is proof that we can do anything if we know how, if we discover the technique.

Similarly, to tune into the universal power to get whatever we want from this great reservoir of energy and possibilities, we just have to know how. All the miracles, all the things that happen in the universe and in this planet come from this great reservoir of power. It's nothing more than that. It's just like the tomato plants or the rose plants, they know what to take from the earth, and what they get is different from what the ginseng root gets. The ginseng needs something else -- the same earth, same planet, but the ginseng gets one thing, and the rose gets something else. Depending on what they get, they produce something different, make life colorful, with a lot of varieties, and serve us in different ways.

Similarly, we all are different individuals, but we can all tune into this vast power of the universe in order to take out what we need for ourselves individually. Consequently, we can produce a different kind of life, a different style, a different color, a different beauty, in order to coexist, to decorate this beautiful cosmos in which we live, for ourselves as well as for other people to enjoy. The rose takes some nutrition from the earth, something from the sun, from the rain, a little bit from each, and then produces such a beautiful appearance for itself to feel beautiful, and for us, for other people, to enjoy.

If we tune ourselves into this vast universal power reservoir, we can take out what we want, what suits us, to make a beautiful existence for ourselves, for everyone else to feel good about us, and for us to feel good about ourselves. We come here to be something. The rose comes here to be a rose. The ginseng exists just to be a ginseng, because someone needs the ginseng. We don't need roses all the time. Even though roses are beautiful, sometimes we need ginseng to eat, to enjoy, to feel healthy, to make a medicine out of it. The rose, we use for decoration, to bring love, to attract the love atmosphere in the air. That's why when people love each other, they give roses. Just to symbolize love, we give roses to people or to our loved one, to a boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, mother, father, et cetera. When we give ginseng to people, we wish them good health. We want them to get back their strength.

Everything serves something. We are here for something; we are what we are, because we want to be that way, because God wants us to be that way. But we have to have nutrition to exist the way we want to be, the way we should be. The body needs nourishment to exist, in most cases, not all. The soul, the beautiful true being that we are, needs something else to survive, to glow, to bloom, to decorate our life, to fulfill our purpose in this existence or in the whole universal existence. We have to tune into the vast reservoir of energy in order to nourish ourselves, to do what we do, to be what we want to be. Just like the rose needs some fertilizer, good soil, and good care, so it can bloom better, become a nicer flower, fresh, and with a beautiful color, pleasing to the eyes of whomever looks at it. Similarly, we need nutrition for the spirit so that we can bloom in full, so everyone around us feels happy and we feel happy.

That's why we need to practice the Quan Yin Method. It's just a name for tuning in with the nourishing power, so that we can exist 100% and flourish as a great being, as a human being. (Applause) Otherwise, we don't exist completely and that's why we are miserable. Same with the roses. If the rose doesn't have what it needs, it'll probably bloom only half or smaller, with the color so miserable, or some worms will eat her. Then it looks so handicapped, so bad, so miserable, not the way that they look right here. These are the cultivated, the cared-for, the fully nourished flowers here. So they give their best, and that's the way we should be. As the great human beings that we are, we have to bloom in full, with the spirit, with the mind power, and with the body -- with the three parts of the body, of which is said, "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost." Missing any of that, we are not fully developed human beings, and we will never be happy and peaceful. It doesn't matter how much peace and happiness we want, doesn't matter how many meetings we arrange with each other to talk about peace, we won't have it.

I'm happy that we have this Center. Of course, it's not the way we wanted because of so many rules and regulations; laws are not always flexible. It's due to the misunderstanding of us human beings, as well as our brothers and sisters, that we have created this system over eons, thousands, millions of years already. So, it'll take a long time to change it. We have to go along with it right now. We don't try to do anything that is against the law or anything that is improper which will not be in agreement with our other brothers and sisters, even though we know our way may be better, is certainly better. But we have to coexist with all other brothers and sisters who have not yet gained the same understanding as we have, who have not tuned in with the power of the universe so soon yet. They pick their own time. We have to coexist cooperatively, in harmony, and be patient, waiting for the time to come. But as you know already, the Center does not exist only in a physical body, it exists in spirit as well.

(Master speaks to a worm: You go somewhere else, or you will get hurt. People will trample upon you. I'm just trying to help you and you struggle so hard.) This brother worm is afraid of me, because I want to put it on the flower. If it stays here, someone will step on it. I only wanted to help it, but it struggled. It even wanted to bite me! This was because it did not understand what I understood. Every being in the universe, if they don't understand you, they sometimes react funny, or fight against you. This is the same in this world -- if I tell you to take care of your family nicely, lovingly -- if I tell you to endure your job even though you don't like it, to earn a living -- if I tell you to abide by the law, even though sometimes the law is too rigid for you to bear, but that is for our own good, as well as for everyone else's.

We cannot do things forcefully and with violence. We cannot. We have to do it slowly, with understanding of the opponents, of our partners, or of the opposite party, with understanding for their point of view. It is not that we give up our principle of understanding or lower our level in order to accompany them. Not that! Our level of understanding, we keep; no one can take it away. Our principle of philosophy and consciousness, we keep; but we have to take into consideration the feelings, the level of understanding of the person we are dealing with. Like this, we will minimize the harm, the hurt, and the pain for both of us -- the opponents or the partners, as well as for ourselves.

It takes a lot of patience, of course. I understand that. I'm one of you. I have to be patient the same way you are. I have to do the same things that you do. I also have to bear a lot, endure a lot, and have to abide by a lot of laws which I wish didn't exist, or existed only for bad people, but not for the good people. Unfortunately, the law sometimes tries to stop the bad people from damaging the world and other people, but also has a rigid effect of also obstructing the good people in doing good work. This is the law of the world.

The laws of the universe, the laws of Truth, are not like that. In fact, there are no laws once we rise above the world of duality, such as this one -- like, there's bad, there's good, there's prohibition, there are opponents, and all kinds of opposite philosophies and ways of life. We have a lot of contradictions, a lot of confusion in this world, because we have duality. We have two instead of one. When we rise above duality and become one with the universe, become one with everyone else, become one with ourselves, then there are no such things as I'm better than you, good things, bad things, no condemnation, no ugly, no beauty, no sin, and no virtue. It's not because the sin becomes a virtue or the virtue becomes a sin, but there are no such things that exist in the Oneness, where everything exists only in love and harmony. No sin can ever even enter our minds, let alone our actions.

It's not that in those worlds, people can do what they want and then there's no sin or no ugliness. It's just that people don't do it. We just act, think, and speak in beauty, virtues, truth, love, and harmony. That's why. The day will come when we all know this planet of love and beauty. But we have to start somewhere, and we started it already. We started 15 years ago, and we start another contact point here today in Korea, in Youngdong. I thank you all for the effort put into this Center, in the past, the present, and the future. I wish all the best to this Center and to Korea. Of course, the effect will spread around the world. I thank you very much. (Applause)
