During the Seven-Day Retreat, the Korean fellow initiates asked Master: "What is the meaning behind the phenomena of many UFOs appearing in Korea recently?" Four Korean fellow initiates (three of them monastic practitioners) present, saw the UFOs with their own eyes. In response to this, the hottest topic these days, Master humorously suggested to everyone the proper way to deal with this. The only way to protect ourselves and to save the world is to seriously practice the Quan Yin Method.

Recently, there have been, I think, thousands and thousands of UFO's circling the Earth, not only in Korea. And the people, even in America, everywhere, you know NASA, the FBI and all that -- they have received this kind of information. They know there has been a massive display of UFOs in unison, in the hundreds of thousands. But most of the time, they don't want to broadcast this information, because they don't want to worry the Earth population. I don't know if I should say this, but since you have asked me, I'll say what I know. I don't know if that makes you worry. They say that maybe the extraterrestrials will attack us before Christmas -- in one month and a half or two months. That's what people said; I don't say anything. I don't know anything. (Everyone laughs.) I don't go anywhere, I don't watch TV, and when I die, I die -- finished.

So, be prepared to live a different life or to die. (Master and everyone laugh.) Whatever it is, we practice the Quan Yin Method, we do good things, we satisfy our conscience that we are very righteous person. More, we cannot do.

There is much good news along with this bad news. Some of the people have said that the E.T.s are very compassionate, and they will come to help us. Maybe to help us in time of this terrible change. If they do so, it would be better, because they are more advanced in technology, and many of them are more advanced in spiritual knowledge as well.

I read a newspaper. It said that at least a dozen senators in America are alien space people; they confessed it. They said yes they are! So what do you think? We are already living with space people. There are many different news reports from different countries similar to this -- that there are space people are in the government, in the bank, in the educational system, in the

church, in the religious orders, everywhere. So what is there to fear anymore? Besides, the way most of the people live their lives here, I don't think if the space people come we could get worse. Let's hope we can only get better.

Anyhow, we have met some of the aliens on the streets, so supposed to be. Did you meet any of them? You always pray for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to come to your side -- these are aliens from other planets. (Laughter) And all the pictures you put in the temples, in the churches -- these are aliens. (Laughter) All the leaders of all the religions that you bow to everyday in every country -- they are aliens. (Laughter) They are not human beings. I am supposed to be alien, too. (Master and everyone laugh. Applause) (Fellow initiates: The best alien.) Good one! Huh? (Everyone: Yes!) So what to do with the UFOs? Never mind, you just watch and when they come out say, "Hello!" Tell them, "My Master is also one of you." (Master and everyone laugh.) "My Master teaches me to come to your planet sometimes." Just say hello, recite the Five Names, do your meditation. What else can you do?

If you try to kill them, you will die first. You will die before you even lift your fingers. Don't try to attack them, it's against our rules. They are more advanced in every aspect. If they truly have a very bad intention to do something to us, we are finished! All of our best technology in this world can do nothing in front of their power. So whether they are bad or good, we can only protect ourselves with our virtues and our inner almighty power; knowing that whether we live or die, we'll never, ever be destroyed, because our souls live eternally. And knowing that whether they are bad or good, we still treat them with all goodness and loving kindness. (Everyone applauds.)

In fact, when most beings on other planets look at Earth people, they laugh at us. Why so much killing, so much fighting? Why can't we resolve misunderstandings among each other with language or moral traditions? They feel strange when seeing us, feeling that we are a kind of very rude and reckless type of person. They also shake their heads sometimes (audience laughs), not knowing why it is like this. So, once in a while, they take a UFO and come for a look and watch our war games with each other.

They feel that we are too nonsensical! Up above they use all kinds of methods to solve problems. If the problems cannot be solved, then those with the same ideal would live together in one corner. If one really cannot conform to the regulations, does not agree with those ideals, and does not respect that

style of living; then one goes to another place. To where? Most of them are sent here, Earth. (Audience laughs.) Those who are more hard headed, stubborn and without wisdom are sent here, Earth. Look at our neighbors then you'll know. Look at me then you'll understand. (Master laughs.)

Therefore, our world is more chaotic. When the aliens look down from the other side, they are rather surprised! After several million years, the Earth people are still so stubborn. No progress has been made at all. Living together here and we still cannot talk to each other. Just like it was up above -- still making wars. Up above, the wars were made with the majority. After coming here, the wars were made with each other. Just look at those big heads then you'll know!
