Good Citizens Give Rise to a Good Leader (Part 2 of 2) July 21, 2013, France

“What an enlightened government. I love your country. Love your government. (Thank you, Master.) No wonder you’re developed. Got to be open, you know? Open. Open (in Chinese). Open. Open-minded, I mean. …And like that you can have international business transactions, contact. Easy, easy. People feel good when they go to your country.” “So Indonesia is very open. All kinds of religions. The government is very, very modern. Good. Enlightened government. Good for you. That’s why your country is prosperous. But that’s only material things. If the government really also practices Quan Yin Method with us, then… (That would be nice.) wow, Indonesia will be flying. Yeah, Allah bless you. (The population, most are Muslim. Majority.) If the majority of people are Muslims, then I just say it’s a Muslim country. But it’s not like a national religion, right? (Right.) I remember it’s a very open country. When I went there, I saw Buddhist temples and Catholic churches, and Hindu worshiping places. (Pura. We call it pura.) Pura? (Temple. Temple.) Temple. Pura. Yeah. So it’s very good. And it’s even better now, yeah? I’m sure it gets better all the time. The country gets richer now, more developed. For the majority of people, it’s a comfortable life. No? In Indonesia, you don’t need much. Right?” “(I just would like to tell you one good story, good news about our governor in Bali, he is vegetarian now.) Oh, he is? Just now? Or it’s a new person who’s already been vegetarian? (New one. Actually, he is the one who signed the petition for the Friday meat-free.) Wow! (Organic also.) Organic! (And also organic.) Bless him. (He promised the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] that when he’d come back to Bali from the conference, he would see Bali is [becomes] an organic island. This will be in 2014.) Has it become now?” (Yes, it’s started in the northern part of Bali.)” “Shouldn’t be afraid of me. Every country should never be afraid of me. I’m the person they should be least afraid of. Right? (Yes.) I come just to make your country better and tell people to behave better, and tell people to behave better, to work with the government, to save the country, to love each other, that’s all. It’s nothing. Nothing will be harmful.”
