Is it working?

Hello, my name is Brother Pháp Linh

and I'm one of the brothers coming on the Wake Up Tour

and I wanted to introduce to you the rest of the group, so you can see who is coming

to your city. We'll be coming to Cambridge, then to London, Oxford

London again, Exeter and Bristol.

So, these are all my brothers and sisters.

Sister Pine is hiding over here.

I'd like to ask them all... maybe you could all introduce each other?

So Sister Peace, do you want to introduce somebody?

Hello, I'm Sister Peace. I'm somebody.

And, this is another somebody, Brother Pháp Tử.

And he's a very clever young monk.

We're very privileged to have him with us.

Great, thank you. Pháp Tử, do you want to introduce one of the others?

Ok, I want to introduce my brother, Brother Huệ Trực. Come here, come here!

Ciao, chicha!

Italiano, my best brother. He's from Italy.

He's speaks German very well.

And he has a lot of experience in spiritual meditation. You can ask him, don't ask me.

Wow!

Yeah, and we're very happy to be here.

We will see you in England. Cool!

Cool! Thank you!

Brother Huệ Trực, do you want to introduce somebody?

I'll introduce Brother Yasha here.

Brother Yasha comes from Indonesia. He's a very lovely brother.

and to rely on.

And very funny! And we're happy that he's coming with us.

Great, thank you. Yasha, who's next?

Brother Stream, partner in crime.

No, we do streaming, so yeah, he's from the United States. Brother Stream

He's Brother Stream. A great elder brother.

He takes care very well of everybody on the tour. He takes good care of me personally. I'm grateful that he's here, and that I'm here with him.

Great! Thank you.

This is Sister Pine.

From Washington, D.C. and Michigan. This is her first time on a Wake Up Tour.

She's guiding us and providing moral support, and joyfulness and a lot of care for the whole group.

It's been a pleasure to be on tour with her. You're very lucky that you get to meet her.

Well, then, I'll introduce Stuart.

This is Stuart from Scotland, and here we are in Scotland.

And, when we climb up this mountain, Stuart's going to tell us a really great story.

So if you come to a Wake Up event, you might get to hear the story too.

Or you also might get to hear some really helpful information about transforming difficult emotions.

So, Stuart's really good at that. So please come and see us.

Wonderful. Thank you for watching.

If you'd like to come and meet us, we'll be on our way to Cambridge, London, Exeter.

and Bristol and Oxford pretty soon.

Hope to see you, bye bye.

I am so free.

Because I can be me.

Look at the clouds at play

Passing over every day

Inside the sky so blue

Immense, spacious

and true

I'll be tall like the sky

Wide enough to embrace what's inside.
