Hallo, all my dear friends. May God bless you, love you, and show you Hiers Love. May you also know Hiers Love and Blessing.
Today, while I was preparing a little meal for myself, I coincidentally listened to one of the earlier poems. It must have been written some decades ago. And I was so kind of surprised, mesmerized listening to it. It was in Aulacese (Vietnamese). And when I read the translation, I thought, “Oh, there are some words missing, not translated correctly – I mean, detailedly. I think I have to revise, check out the translation and add in some more words to make it more complete and perfect.”
Never mind, it’s not the main point. The main point was that I was so homesick listening to that. I can’t remember the whole poem now so quickly in my head. Many poems I wrote spontaneously, naturally, and I did not always have time to check and to correct or to make some additions. And I have to thank you, the team, the one that thought of that poem and put it on our schedule to air.
“Screaming Out Loud (Thét Gào) – Poem composed and recited by Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan)
I can’t live in this confined world,
Where people grab and control!
I want to go beyond and above
All these bondages and limits!
I have to breathe
The fragrant air of heaven.
I have to go
Where the wind gently blows
Let me live,
Let me grow.
Let me be
ME!
However different
However strange it might seem
To thee.
But my life belongs to me.
I shall live the way that I’m pleased!
If you cannot gift peace
Do not stir up stormy sea.
Let me be free!
I’ll fly with the bird,
I’ll rise with the sun
I’ll dream on the surface of the moon
And I’ll write poetry for the petals of wild orchids.
I’ll sing-shower in the cool rain of the first day of summer,
I’ll climb forest-trees and float on the waves of the great ocean,
I’ll paint the tender blades of the spring grass!
I’ll run with the field-butterfly barefooted,
I’ll play hide-and-seek
With the fish in the river.
I’ll sing folk songs in late night of the fall.
I’ll stroll in the friendly forest path!
I’ll enjoy the succulent garden ripe fruits,
They will just fall from the tree for me!
I’ll do the things,
That you deem foolish and crazy.
But I’ll so very like it!
Let me be
Let me breathe!
Oh Heaven, Oh God
Hear me!
Oh all Angels,
Lift me!”

Oh, it was really refreshing my mind so much, refreshing my heart, and made me a little nostalgic. Because the poem was beautiful – not because I made it, but because it is beautiful. It probably speaks to many of the viewers, especially those God disciples who are under my care. Sometimes I forget or I don’t know how to express it, so I say “my disciples,” but they’re all God’s disciples. I’m just a humble instrument to communicate what God has already bestowed upon them inside their hearts. Now, I was taken away by the poem, even though I wrote it myself. But it’s been so many decades already; time passed so quickly. Only now I realize that my time is so precious, because there are so many things I can do and have done and can do still, and will do with my time. It’s just that I feel like my time is so short.
The poem was really so awakening to me, even though I wrote it and I know some of it, still remember some of it, now that I have listened to it. Before that, I also knew about it, but I didn’t have time to think about my past – only the present, and the future of the world. It takes too much, all of my attention, all of my time, all of my energy. I have to always keep renewing myself, renewing my energy, in order to keep up with the work that is assigned to me by God Almighty and all the Buddhas, Saints and Sages in all directions and all times.
The poem has some expressions that really still strike me and awaken my heart. And see, it makes my emotion, my dream come alive again. Something like, “I would like to be me, myself only, and do the things I really like to. Even if other people think they are crazy and foolish, I will like it.” And, “I will have my dream on the surface of the Moon,” “I will rise with the Sun in the morning.” “I will write my poetry on the leaves of the wild orchids and paint on the blades of grass.” Imagine how free: how carefree can that be, that you write your poem and do not think or care whether or not it will be printed or it will remain on the orchid’s leaf. Imagine how weak the orchid’s leaf can be, very little, very small, very fragile, but you would write a poem on it, and so offer it to the Universe, to God Almighty, to all who can connect with you – or not, or doesn’t matter if they enjoy or not; you just wrote it because you wanted to.
And paint on the blade of grass. Imagine, how long can that last? But this was my dream – I mean, a poetic kind of expression, the dream of a carefree life, of a life without any plan, any organized thoughts, or any concrete arrangement for the future, or for anyone there to see, or for anything at all. You just do it because you want to do it. That is something good. It’s awakening me again, and it brought me to tears. Because that’s the life I want to have for this world. And I’m still working on it; I’m still fighting for it.
You have seen many predictions about our present years on Earth, like about 2022, 2023, even. Especially now, stronger; still stronger, 2024 up to 2027. We have too much – too much upheaval, too much disaster, too much sorrow, disease, and all kinds of new disasters and diseases come up, or old ones revisit – those deadly, terrifying kinds of pandemic diseases that we thought we had put behind us or overcome.
“Media report from The Economic Times – Sept. 26, 2023, Nivedhana Prabhu: Disease X could be on its way. British healthcare professionals are gearing up for Disease X which they say may be deadlier than COVID-19 and may have a similar impact as the Spanish Flu. The WHO says disease X could be a new agent, a virus or a bacterium or fungus without any known treatments. An expert, Kate Bingham, who has issued a warning, mentioned that the virus has the potential to result in 20 times more fatalities than COVID-19.”
“Excerpt from ‘Top Hong Kong scientist sounds alarm on next pandemic’ by AFP News Agency – July 21, 2024, Dr. Yuen Kwok-yung: The upper estimate is 100 million deaths in 1918 [from the Spanish flu]. This time it may be 400 million people dying. That is a really horrendous number.”
“Excerpt from ‘This Prophet Actually Predicted Trump’s Assassination Attempt 3 Months Ago’ by Capturing Christianity – July 15, 2024, Cameron Bertuzzi: Would you believe me if I told you that the assassination attempt on President Trump's life was actually prophesied in great detail months ago? Back in March, this guy named Brandon Biggs actually prophesied in some detail the events that just transpired.
Reverend Brandon Biggs: And I saw Trump rising up. And then I saw an attempt on his life, that this bullet flew by his ear, and it came so close to his head that it busted his eardrum.”
“Excerpt from ‘The Lord showed me a plague coming and 350 million people would perish’ by Last Days – July 4, 2024, Reverend Brandon Biggs: I have a hard word to give today, and… I ask you to be patient with me here. Help me, Holy Spirit, to get through this. The Lord took me, and I saw a complete shutdown of society beyond anything you can comprehend, even worse than 2020. He said, ‘This, what is about to happen, has not happened for hundreds and hundreds of years.’ It would be a type and shadow of the Black Death in the 1300s. There was no anti-thing for your arm. Nothing. There was nothing to stop it. Anybody who contracted this thing was gone. Then I saw 350 million (deaths), worldwide. Then I saw ‘30’ over the United States.”
I guess I’m emotional now. I can’t express myself very well; please forgive me. That dream, I want to have it for myself and for you. I will make it; I want to make it come true. Please fight with me. Fight with me. You don’t have to have weapons. You don’t have to go kill anybody to win. Win yourself. Have a victory over yourself.
Just put down anything to do with killing. Renounce killing so that you won’t get killed in the same way. That’s it, very simple. Repent to God. Vow to yourself that you will U-turn so that one day we will go back to Heaven together, or one after another. I’ll be waiting for you to welcome you at my Heavenly Abode that God has permitted me to create for you. My home is not here on Earth, but my Home is in Heaven, where it never can be destroyed; you will never be eliminated, harassed, molested, or oppressed in any kind, in any way at all. You will live as you, yourself, as in the dream that I have written about in that poem when I was a younger age.
