From Africa with Love, Part 2 of 10, Apr. 28, 1993, Brussels, Belgium

In this episode, the disciples of Bambi Baaba arrive from Uganda, and their offering of the first bananas, made possible through Supreme Master Ching Hai’s earlier support, becomes part of a joyful and heartfelt conversation.

The Master sent you here just to see me? (Just to see You.) Oh, He is so sweet. (And we have a special letter, also from Him, and some other special gifts that we have still in our baggage.) It’s OK. It’s OK. Your presence is enough because you bring His presence here. (Thank You very much.)

We are very honored to receive you. (Thank You.) Then we don’t need to send it by post either. And the flood, does it do any damage, or it’s just as good for…? The rain is just reasonable or…? (It’s quite reasonable.) Oh, that’s good. That’s just fine. (We normally have four seasons in Uganda. We have a rainy season. We normally don’t have too much rain, except a few drops.) But now it rains a lot? (It rains a lot now.) Beautiful. (But we don’t have floods.) Oh, yes, it’s very good, very good. (Anyway, it is very good weather.) Good weather. Oh, so. (Because the average is around 20-30 degrees Celsius.) Because last time it was a drought. (Yes.) That’s why I was ... (In some parts, yes.)

Is it better now? (It is better, and Your special gift to us was utilized. (It’s so little.) Now the plantation is up, very, very green. We used it– to make a new plantation.) Oh, very good. (…which is very, very flourishing.) (A plantation of what?) (Of bananas.) (Bananas.) (Bananas? Sweet bananas? Small sweet bananas?) We will send more. (It includes all the small… and plantain.) (All the bananas, oh yes.) (And they are considered the first ones, the first bananas are here for Her.) Very good. (They did, really.) Very educated. (Oh. They came with the first bananas from this plantation for You.) Oh.

It’s too much for me. I don’t deserve this. And I feel very ashamed for just a little gift. Please don’t mention it again. I still feel ashamed because I was very busy, and the message didn’t go through very... I have told you. (Yes.) Therefore, I intended to send more, and I think we sent them more later after that. But I wanted to send more. I told […] to send it two weeks ago. He didn’t send it. Now we’re prepared. I give to the gentlemen just fine. It’s quicker than the post. (Yes.) Yeah. It’s fine. (Thanks very much.) You’re very welcome.

And I’m glad that you made it into a plantation. It will be helpful to many people. (Oh, it’s very important. And we have a very good soil, very, very fertile.) Agriculture is always necessary. (Agriculture is very… It is especially the basic occupation – agriculture. Yes, yes, yes. (And we want to develop it further.) Oh, very good. (Without using chemical fertilizers.) (Yes, that’s right.) (And chemical pesticides.) (We use fertilizers that are completely natural, Master.) Oh, natural. (Yes.) That’s perfect, that’s perfect. […]
