(Thank You.) Extra flowers, everything, all for you. (The flowers are beautiful.) Yes, yes, they’re all for you – all because of you. (Thank You.) And New Year, we also celebrate, but not as much as this year’s, thanks to you. And if you were not here, I would not have come to Taiwan (Formosa) just now, no.

And everybody comes. They’re happy, say they will thank you. I mean you all; because of you I have come back to Taiwan (Formosa) so soon. (Normally how many times in a year do You come back here?) Well, I haven’t come here since maybe a few years already. But before, I lived here. And I built all this for the people to come and relax and meditate. And afterwards I had to share myself with the whole world, so in every country I stay for a little bit. […] These are all vegan. They do look like non(-vegan), but they are. (They are amazing.) Yes, and all the drinks you have – no alcohol. So you can drive. (You are vegan.) Yes, yes. We all are. And then here, all these people that you have seen here are all vegans.
