Okay? And then talk.
Say, “My name is Nathi.”
My name is Nathi.
Do you love your daddy?
I love my daddy.
I held your head
when you were tired
You made a bed
upon my chest
And we both
had the same desire
Wanting to get a little rest
Trying to get a little rest
Halo warmhearted viewers!
On June 20 this year,
millions of people will be
spending quality time with
their dads, granddads,
and dad-like people
in their lives.
Father’s Day
is actually celebrated at
different times of the year
around the world.
But the loving feeling
we have for our fathers
is the same across cultures.
The child lies
in its father’s arms,
Resting so peacefully,
resting so warm
Dads have many
wonderful qualities.
The following
widely shared poem
mentions some of them.
“God took the strength
of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth
of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul
of nature,
The comforting arm
of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power
of the eagle’s flight…”
God placed
all these qualities
into his perfect creation,
and called it “Dad.”
In celebration of
Father’s Day on Sunday,
we’ll meet some sons
and daughters
around the world who
tell us about their fathers.
Some of them are
our Association members.
Tell me, tell me Dad
Why is the sky blue?
Tell me, tell me Dad
Who made it so blue?
It’s a little boy
Who lost his ball
A big blue ball
that rose up to the heavens
And that is why
the sky since is blue
Dad is a special person
in our lives.
Since we were small,
it was he who might
have taken care of us.
Much of the time,
he is away from
the comfort of home,
working long hours to
support the family he loves.
I think that Daddy is kind.
I think that
Daddy is also funny.
He is also good at
playing chess, and
I love my daddy very much.
As children,
we depend on our fathers,
not just for
material support, but also
to learn new skills
to be competent
and confident citizens.
Some youth in Canada
tell us what they have
learned from their dads.
Yes, could you tell me
what are some of the things
that you've learned
from your dad?
Well, I learned
to be everything
that I could possibly be,
and to never give up.
My dad taught me
to always try and learn
something new every day,
and to be independent,
always try
and fix things yourself,
and if you need help, ask.
And just
to be compassionate
towards others.
Lots of stuff, actually.
He taught me to drive.
Little things like that
that add up during the day.
Is there anything that
you admire particularly
about your dad?
Well, I admire my dad's
attention to detail,
specifically whether
he is presenting, or if
he is building something
in his shed, or farming,
So is this your little son?
Yes, this is my son.
He's 17 months old.
Looks like he'd like to say
something too in the mic!
Now this show is
on Father's Day.
Is there anything
that you would like
to teach you son that
your dad taught you?
Well sure. I'd like
to teach him patience.
And just the loving support
that my dad gave me.
Remember
those old tender times
together in our warm,
cozy home?
And remember
those moonlit nights
you took me on a promenade?
When I was nine or ten
on an old bicycle,
you took me to school
with your loving kindness.
Daddy, I love you very much.
Yes, I love you too, son.
Let’s now go to Indonesia,
where a young child
is having a music lesson
from his dad,
a traditional artist.
Do you remember or not?
Remember.
You remember.
If you remember, then try.
Can you?
I like to play gamelan
because the sound is nice.
When I grow up,
I’d like to be like Dad,
good at playing gamelan.
Oh my. You missed it.
You missed some of it.
One one two three one...
One one two three.
Right?
Try that one,
you try again.
One one two three one...
Try.
A father’s gentle patience
goes far
as his love runs deep.
Look, wrong. Go.
What is it, Daddy?
It’s a puppet.
What is it made of, Daddy?
Long time ago,
they were made of leather,
buffalo leather.
But today they are made
from hard cloth.
The reason is compassion.
The buffalo was killed
only for leather.
Can you hold this?
Hold this one.
How can it be,
that the buffalo’s leather
is used only
for our own pleasure?
Right.
In addition to showing us
many practical things,
fathers provide
moral instruction
and instill religious faith.
This Muslim dad is
teaching his children how
to read the Holy Qur’an.
In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious,
Most Merciful,
come…
In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious,
Most Merciful.
We go straight to this.
I seek refuge in Allah.
I seek refuge in Allah.
In the name of Allah
In the name of Allah
Most Gracious
Most Gracious
and Most Merciful.
and Most Merciful.
You alone do we worship
You alone do we worship
and You alone
and You alone
do we ask for help.
do we ask for help.
Daddy has
something special.
Daddy loves animals.
Daddy is vegetarian.
Just now
when recited the Qur’an,
that Allah is
the Most Merciful and
the Most Gracious. Yes.
So we have to imitate
His attributes,
the Most Merciful and
the Most Gracious.
Love the cat,
we have to love fish,
then what next,
what to love?
Rabbit.
Rabbit.
You do like to see
the rabbit jumping,
happy, cute.
Seeing the cat walking,
it’s amusing, isn’t it?
We should not hurt it.
My virtuous daughter,
you are my eyes’ light.
My virtuous daughter,
you are my eyes’ light.
I want you to follow
the Qur’an and the Sunna
(deeds and words
of the Prophet).
Daddy, don't worry about
my ethics and religion.
Daddy, don't worry about
my ethics and religion,
You are the one who
raised me, my beloved.
Now, let’s go to Costa Rica,
where a father
and his teenage daughter
are enjoying time together
camping outdoors.
I admire my dad because
he is a wonderful person.
There aren’t many beings
as him on this planet.
Honestly he is
very humble, very loving.
He respects us a lot,
our mom and me,
and my brothers.
He is admirable just
because he is super simple.
They almost got burned!
Because he is vegan,
he has lots of compassion
for the animals.
He is an example
in our house, as he has
so resonated with Master
and with being vegan, so
have we all followed him
in this way.
A toast
for a noble campfire!
No at matter what age,
young or old, a child can
always count on the words
and the example
of his or her father.
When we return,
we’ll visit more fathers
and their grown-up children
as we get ready
to celebrate Father’s Day.
Please stay tuned
to Supreme Master
Television.
My name is Nathi.
I love my dad.
Happy Father’s Day!
Oh joy,
I’m overwhelmed with joy
to have a father like you,
really joyful
that your name will
expand in the place
of your birth.
Your name
will expand on Earth.
Papa
Papa
Papa
Papa
Who always
has a smile for you?
Pinches your cheeks,
strokes your hair so nicely?
Who gives you wings,
lets you fly
through the air
every time he carries you
on his shoulders?
Who jokes with you,
who loves you?
You are my most cherished.
Welcome back to
Enlightening Entertainment
and our program
in honor of Father’s Day
on Sunday, June 20.
In many families,
Dad is a leader who
walks the road ahead.
He is a role model
who guides us through
life’s uncertain terrain,
showing us the way
to live a happy, active,
and fulfilling life.
Join us on our next stop
to Formosa (Taiwan)
as we honor
the dedicated fathers
around the world.
He always does things in
a very practical, serious,
and responsible manner.
On the other hand,
he would regularly take us
for exercises
like mountain trekking
or playing ball games.
As for physical exercise,
he always made sure
our bodies were healthy
and full of vitality.
Dad,
I am very grateful to you
for the wonderful job
of raising us.
We wish you
good health forever.
I miss your smile
which gave me
all the strength.
You held my hands
and took care of me.
You saw me cry and saw me
learning how to walk.
The little birds learn how
to fly when they grow up.
They can travel
all over the world.
Your love always
accompanies me.
Please do not worry,
I won’t be alone.
I admire my dad because
he worked diligently,
very hard.
He taught us
in a very strict manner.
He expected each of us
to be an honest child
and he taught us to do
good deeds earnestly.
Dad is very kindhearted.
I remember, one time,
we went to the countryside
in Yunlin.
It was raining that day.
We met an old man
who seemed
to have been separated
from his family members.
He was sitting alone
outside a temple.
Dad asked him cordially:
“Where are you from?
Where do you live?”
That old man was
a total stranger,
yet Dad took him
into our car and
gave him a ride home.
That’s why
I really admire my dad.
Dad also cared a lot
about environmental
protection.
Every time we went to play
at the seaside, though
we were having great fun
and were very tired,
if he saw any garbage
at the seaside,
he would pick up
a garbage bag and
have the whole family
pick up the garbage
and bring it home.
He said the environment
is very important,
as there is only one Earth.
Dad loves to tell jokes.
Even though his jokes
were not always that funny,
we’d still laugh heartily.
When we are with him,
we feel pleasantly close;
we never feel any distance.
We always feel
that he can bring joy
to everyone.
I want very much
to be like him.
Let me sing for you,
Sing for your great image.
With your expectation
In my future life,
I will pray for you
with my beautiful song.
Through life’s
ups and downs,
Dad always holds out
his warm hands for us,
and his strong shoulders
are always there to lean on.
Sometimes, it isn’t until
we grow older that
we come to appreciate
the deep wellspring
of our father’s love.
Our Association member
from the United States
expresses the sentiments
that many adult children
feel about their dads.
I would ride
on your shoulders
And look out on the world
Pretending I was big
and tall like you
When you were there
to hold me
I never was afraid
You made me feel
there's nothing I can't do
He's always been there
for me.
Anytime, anywhere
I needed, I needed him,
he was there.
He calls me
to ask how I'm doing.
He's always put us first.
I've always seen my father
work very hard.
He's the father
of eight children.
I'm the oldest and
he showed me what it is
to be a beautiful woman
and he gave me
the confidence I need.
I was never afraid
to do anything
because my father always
was my champion.
He's always been
in my corner.
And I saw the way
he treated my mother.
He showed me
a working relationship,
a loving relationship.
So I grew up
in a loving home
with a hard working man,
a loving man,
a spiritual man.
I love you too,
sweetheart. Thank you.
Done?
Yeah.
A little bit more back there.
Okay.
How about another hug?
Another hug. (Okay.)
Thank you.
He introduced me
to books, music,
wonderful foods
and most of all
to love myself and
be the best person I can be.
He always told me,
"Never be afraid,
always treat people well,
be a loving human being
because that's the best
you can do."
And I've always seen that
by him because he lives
what he speaks and
he is what he says he is.
I mean,
he's just, he's awesome.
He's like the best thing
in the world to me and
I couldn't imagine my life
without my dad.
And I love him so much.
I'm so happy
he's here with me
because, he's wonderful.
You're my hero
You didn't have to
say a word
Your love was
the message that I heard
Inspiring me to be all
I can be
You're my hero
And 'cause you're my Dad…
I'm twice as blessed
and lucky,
so lucky to be me.
Everywhere we look,
there are
countless hero fathers.
They quietly draw
from immense reserves
of endurance, courage,
determination,
and self-sacrifice.
Every day, they go out
to face a tough world,
always thinking of
their families
before themselves.
Dads would do anything
for their children.
That’s why
many today go above and
beyond the call of duty –
to do their part
in saving the planet.
Let’s meet one such father
from South Korea.
Two years ago,
I was watching
Supreme Master
Television.
I heard
Supreme Master Ching Hai
talk about the urgency
of global warming and
telling people to be veg,
protect the environment
and do good deeds
as a solution to it.
Furthermore, she actively
promoted these ideas
and urged
government officials
and decision makers
to take action.
In particular, her proposal
of being organic vegan,
which is a very simple
yet powerful solution,
impressed me very much.
I have been a soldier
for 30 years,
protecting my country.
However,
I came to a conclusion
that there is no point
in defending a country
without defending the Earth.
So I was immediately
involved in the cause of
halting global warming.
My father is the Director
of Gangwon Province
Military Manpower
Administration.
His public servant job
really has nothing to do
with the environment,
but he takes the lead
in saving the planet
by giving a lot of lectures
and implementing
a meat-free day
once a week
at his administration,
so he does his best
to promote veganism
among people.
In recognition
of these efforts, he won
the Green Climate Award
at the National Assembly
(Parliamentary)
Climate Forum.
Kim Young-Gyu,
the Director
of Gangwon Province
Military Manpower
Administration,
is a very interesting man.
We presented this award
to him because
he very actively works
on climate change
at his administration,
and does many
other activities
outside the agency as well.
I hope this case is reported
in a lot of news media,
so that he can become
a role model
for other organizations.
Be veg! Go green!
Save the planet!
He commutes by bicycle
every day and
he also strives to give
even just one more lecture
as often as he can
in order to
promote veganism.
All these are
feasible small actions
anyone could carry out,
but I believe that’s
what a real hero does.
Now he is at the forefront
of saving not his country,
but the whole planet.
And I believe that
that is the real demeanor
of a hero.
Although
I’ve respected my dad
because he’s been
a diligent serviceman
for a long time,
he has also been
striving hard to spread
the vegan message
since he became a vegan,
and seeing that
I’ve come to really
respect his enthusiasm.
From his example
I also started a vegan diet,
and I’d like
to stay committed
to the vegan diet and work
to help save the planet.
Father, I love you
and admire you.
Father, I admire you
and love you.
Dad,
I would like to say
that I am thankful for
every moment of my life
when you supported me,
when you took care of me,
when you taught me.
There are not words
so great or so detailed,
or so exquisite
to be able to tell you
how much I love you and
how much I respect you.
I would love
when I have a family,
to be like you,
like you are now with us.
I love you very much.
I wish
that Dad will always
keep his cheerful smile,
and continue to bring
greater joy to everyone.
Dad, I love you!
And I just want to tell you
Daddy, that I love you.
I love you too, sweetie.
I love you
with all my heart.
And I thank God
that you stay here with me.
I love you, Daddy.
I love you honey.
God bless you.
Oh, my heart is moved.
I have no words
I can say really.
I just thank Master.
I really do.
My precious gift.
You’re a credit to my life,
darling.
Believe me,
a credit to my life
and to anybody's life
that you’re in.
Oh, God bless you, sweetie.
Thank you.
I have heard so many songs
Listened
to a thousand tongues
But there is one
That sounds above them all
The Father's song
The Father's love
You’ve sung it over me
and for eternity
it's written on my heart
Our hearts are filled with
tenderness and gratefulness
for our heroic
and loving fathers.
On this occasion, we are
especially thankful to
Supreme Master Ching Hai
for inspiring
many fathers to be heroes
for a peaceful planet.
During a 1991 lecture
in Hsihu,
Formosa (Taiwan),
Supreme Master Ching Hai
once explained about
the special quality
of a family man’s love.
Your love is very close
to Buddha’s.
You have the spirit
of sacrifice.
When we love someone,
we would like to
seethem happy.
You are willing
to do anything that will
make them happy.
It means you really have
the spirit of altruism
instead of egoism.
When someone's happy
you're happy, this is
real love for others.
Mostly men go out to
work and support family.
Even before they marry,
they have to support
their parents, family,
sisters, too, don't they?
It is men
who serve the family
because men have
the spirit of sacrifice.
The love is very natural.
It is already there.
May Heaven bless
all the great and noble dads
around the world with
the boundless blessings
they so deserve.
Heaven's perfect melody
