Sitting In A Buddha's PalmBy Fellow Initiate Yan-Shou Chang, Taoyuan, Formosa |
The incident happened on one happy Sunday. As usual, we drove our car and headed to Hsihu Center to participate in the special one-day retreat. On our way we were hit by a car that was trying to make a turn. The force of the crash was so strong that both of the cars swung one hundred and eighty degrees before they could be fully stopped. Miraculously, none of the drivers or passengers were seriously hurt. The most unbelievable thing was that the other driver did not fasten his seat belt, and at the moment of impact, the door on his side flew open, causing the car to be jammed in between the deep ditch by the roadside and a pole. At the same time, he was thrown out of his car across the ditch and landed on the soft ground next to it. His forehead had some small cuts caused by the broken glass from the car window. He was later treated at a hospital and was found to have no serious injuries. We were so amazed that the driver was so lucky. When we saw his honest, kind face, we could not help but asked him, "Are you a Buddhist? The driver answered, "Yes. We asked him again, "Are you a believer of Avaloketesvara? This time he said, "Oh, well, I believe in Supreme Master Ching Hai. How excited we were, when we heard him say that, that he was one of our brothers. We greeted each other happily. This brother then told us that before the crash, he was playing Master's Buddhist chanting tape in his car. That could explain why when both of our cars collided into one another, he felt he was lifted up, carried by a giant Buddha's hand and flown to the safest ground. Even when the policemen came to examine the accident site, they could not believe what they saw and one exclaimed, "I just can not believe this! There is no worldly logic to explain the Master's wonderful way. |
The True, Great Master Who Dresses Up
By Fellow Initiate in Wu-Han, Mainland China

Before I came to know Master, I had a very strange dream: Outside the front door of my childhood home, I suddenly saw an opened door in the sky. A statue of Shakyamuni Buddha appeared. It was so huge that it filled up all the space from Earth to heaven, and it was radiating extremely bright, white light. As I looked to my right, there was a holy statue of the great sage, Lao Tze, which was just as huge and bright. Then I turned to the right again and suddenly saw Jesus Christ standing there, taking up all the space between the sky and the Earth. He was huge and dignified. I was thrilled and wanted to be their disciple. However, the holy statues disappeared at that moment. Just as I was feeling sorry, a big temple emerged in front of me. Someone took me inside and pointed to a person on my right, dressed like a Ching Dynasty emperor (later, I saw a photo of Master dressed like that), who seemed to be exhausted. The person who took me inside told me to hurry and prostrate. He said that that was my Master, someone truly great and who had more powers than the three saints whom I saw earlier. A week later, given to me by a friend, I had the opportunity to read Master's sample booklet. I became a complete vegetarian right away. Also, having read the sample booklet, I was enlightened; my dream that I could not understand, despite my best efforts, was clarified. I know now that Master is the reincarnation of these past three saints. In response to sentient beings at large, and to deliver them, She allows Herself to take a role and give lectures in the big theater of life. I am positive that the great wisdom of the great saints in the past is concentrated in Supreme Master Ching Hai, the living Buddha. Each word, each sentence of Master's teachings is the Truth. She does not reject any religions. She is full of compassion and love for all of creation in the universe. |
By reading Master's books, I continuously make progress in my spiritual knowledge. I have become more and more free, have a better understanding of life, and am no longer bound by worldly matters. Ever since I received initiation to the path, I have become a healthy person, completely cured of the rheumatism and hemidystrophy that I seriously suffered from before. Moreover, by practicing the Quan Yin Method, I have had numerous experiences, both spiritual and physical, from inside and outside. In everyday life, whenever I thought of Master, anything that seemed impossible to happen would easily and miraculously be realized. I find my spiritual experiences truly impossible to forget. In my dreams, Master often touches my forehead, and sometimes She takes my hand and flies me to somewhere of an even higher level to learn lessons. When I wake up, these experiences are always vivid in my mind, and I am filled with bliss. Ever since I began to practice, I understand the laws of cause and effect of the universe, and I have become more affable to everyone. Master's supreme consciousness deeply attracts all the sentient beings in the universe. May even more people be able to share this rare treasure of all times, the Quan Yin Method; so that the world will be filled with bliss and become heaven on Earth soon. |
