Our next performance is a solo song from the San Francisco Center. It’s “Visiting the Old Temple.” Looking at the old temple The river still flowing nearby Time is heartlessly flying by Moss is covering the stony yard Samsara never stops suffering So Master went to save beings Her heart was full of Mercy Master’s Grace builds the foundation of love To my real Self, Master led me Ignorance, goodbye! Dreamy shore, leaving! Miraculous Truth, back to the Light, We’re earnestly praying day and night Return to the old temple Its fragrance of the sandalwood incense The bell resonates with its praying sound, May peace be with You, Master! (Next, we’ll have a dance group performing “It’s You.”) This dance is from the ’50s era.We’re going to introduce our next performers, which are the Supreme Master Ching Hai Tabernacle Choir, and they will be singing “Joy to the World,” and the members are from various Centers. Have you heard about the joke about the threes ‒ if the three wise men were three wise women? OK. They said the first thing – if the three wise men were wise women – first of all, they would have gotten to the manger early because they would have stopped and asked for directions. Second of all, they would have been able to help with the birth of Jesus. Third and most importantly, after they did the first two, then they would have had enough energy and time to cook and clean up afterwards. Could the choir please come up? （What is that? Be quite. Big baby.）Joy to the world, the Lord is come; Let Earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing. Joy to the World, the Savior reigns; Let all their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy. He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His Righteousness, And wonders of His Love, And wonders, wonders, of His Love.
