Dear Master,
I trust that You are well.
My lack of understanding of Your teachings led me to lose my faith in
the true path, and I left the spiritual group of the Quan Yin Method.
Not until last year, owing to Your infinite compassion, grace and
affection, did I return and continue my spiritual practice. In the
past year, the tangible and intangible care from You has nourished my
heart continuously. Everyday, as soon as I have a free moment, I think
of You, and talk and repent to You.
I am most grateful to God and to You for saving me. You had not given
up on me despite my naivety and misconception of spiritual practice
in the past. The setbacks I experienced, like a rude awakening, were
undesirable qualities which I could neither hide nor run away from.
Everything was so clear. Master, I thank You from the bottom of my
heart. If it was not for You, I could never have regained my faith in
the path, nor could I have increased my self-confidence. Everything is
due to Your power. Having You in my heart, I can face any situation.
Now, my faith in You is so strong that it is incomparable to any time
before.
One day, I took my child out for a stroll. Suddenly, I heard a very
loud voice calling my child's nickname. Both my child and I turned
around, but only to find that no one was there, and yet my child
exclaimed in delight, "Master is here! Master is here!" Even now,
whenever I think about that, I am still moved. Thank You, Master!
I went to Phnom Penh to see You recently. Oh, Master! It was the first
time in so many years that I saw You. In the past, I did not know to
cherish the opportunities of seeing You. Now, I had to fly over
mountains and oceans just to see You briefly; but in my heart I
greatly treasure and am deeply grateful for it. I am still very happy
even though it is over a month since I have returned home.
As I have to go to work, there is no one home to look after my child,
so I prayed to You to help me to find the most suitable person. Sure
enough, not long afterward, a fellow initiate couple, who are very
diligent in their spiritual practice, became my neighbors. They have a
child about the same age as mine, and so my child has somewhere to go
now. My child has begun to like to be near You, to watch Your video
tapes, and does not want to eat any food that is not vegetarian. Under
Your blessings and love, my child is growing big and healthy. His
father often asks, "What does the baby-sitter feed him everyday? Why
is it that he is getting so robust?"
I understand clearly that You have not only found a baby-sitter for
my child but also one for me. Recalling when I received my initiation
years ago, I was still very young, and without any fellow initiates
to keep me company, I was like a lone ranger. But now, the situation
is different. I know that it is just another of Your perfect and
wondrous arrangements, which has enabled me to be close to good
practitioners, which helps me and changes my weaknesses.
Oh, Master! All the words of praise to You could never express one
billionth of how I am moved in my heart. Because of You, I understand
what is true sincerity, true repentance and true faith. Feeling as
tiny as a mustard seed, I wish that I could once again respectfully
behold Your holy countenance that is as radiant as the heavenly
light.
